I've been using Tenba photo bags for the last thirty years - they're really well made and offer good protection. I think I own about five of them in different sizes depending on how much stuff I want to lug around. If I'm traveling in my truck I generally use one of the three or four Pelican...

Zorro - Tired after celebrating his 13th birthday:

One of the most fun bikes I've ever owned was my old Mick Andrews Replica Ossa 250 Plonker - wish I'd never sold it. You can entertain yourself for hours on a trials bike in your back yard. I'd suggest getting one of the older machines that is eligible for vintage trials events - the new stuff...

Dustproof is more of a neccessity - I always pack my stuff up clean and dry and I hate having to wash it before you cook the next meal.

Canon A-series cameras are nice because they take standard AA batteries and record some pretty good images. One of the reasons I like Canon over some of the other brands is the shutter lag is minimized (time to actually take the picture after you press the magic button) - more like a film...

I've got a G5 and a Canon 20D - I use the G5 very regularly and its a great camera just the ticket when I don't want to lug around the SLR but still want most of the capability. I'd recommend the G9. Canon software is very good as well. My sister has a Canon S1 that's pretty nice and some of...

I'm planning to enclose my pump and showerhead in a watertight case like a Pelican with inlet and outlet ports that will be fitted with quick disconnects. I'll have the flat plate heat exchanger under the hood of my Land Rover plumbed into the heater hoses and into some quick disconnect fittings...

Its a 1967 to 71 truck - 1966 Land Rovers had the windshield wiper motors on the windshield. Best guess is that its a 67 with later model fenders but it could be a 69-71 that's had the earlier grill panel installed. If its got power brakes its probably the latter. Still very much a project...

That is just way too cool - Series I Land Rover with fantastic patina Just think of the places its been and the stories it could tell...

You might also want to look at the Centri Pre-cleaners - they are aluminum and stainless construction. I have a 3" diameter Centri on my truck.

Also try gently cleaning out the junk from under the lip of the seal with some kind of thin plastic scraper. Sometimes the leaks are caused by trash that gets under the seal and removing it will slow it down.

I had to swap out the return lines between the injectors in order to run B100. Viton tubing is needed to resist the solvent in the biodiesel - I got mine from Mcmaster Carr. It's pretty small - somewhere in the 3mm - 4mm range and the return lines are about 4" - 5" long each so you only need two...

Where's the link to your gallery? Chile is one of the places I've always wanted to visit... Looking forward to seeing some posts of your travels.

I've seen a lot of failures with tubing connections too - I've used Swagelock Stainless fittings with great success (both on the robots at work and on my Defender 90 on-board air system). Check them out at www.swagelock.com

The 1991 Range Rover Hunter edition was a decontented model for the US market that meets all of you requirements except the crank windows one. The power windows proved to be more relaiable than the crank up ones (except for the cheap window switches) so that shouldn't be an issue. The Hunter...

Looks like a great project - take a good look at the frame and see if it can hold up to the abuse it will receive. One of the favorite projects I've seen on the web is a guy in Germany who took an old Eriba Puck travel trailer - unbolted it from the stock frame and set it up on a heavy duty...

A Bosch jigsaw will do the trick - just go slow and let the blade do the work with some coolant. I use mine for all sorts of rude, ugly stuff where I can't get to the cut with my Bosch Panther (sawzall type reciprocating saw)

more like 70 cents a gallon more locally.....than regular gas

It's actually a section of Marsten Mat - used during WWII to provide a hard surface for temporary runways (particularly during the Pacific campaign). The original design was steel but later on an aluminum version was developed. It got adopted for use to help extract trucks from deep sand and...

I built one out of 3" diameter aluminum tubing and capped it off with a Centri precleaner. A friend of mine hydrolocked his Range Rover when his right front wheel went in a hole in a creek crossing in North Georgia. Mine's a diesel so I don't have to worry about the electronics. Plus it looks...
