    Roof Top Tents for the Disco

    I think you are on to something, but I also think many of your questions need to be answered with your personal preferences and comfort levels. I don't agree that the Airland is a one man tent, even the smallest size Airland can comfortably fit two people - especially after you get used to it...

    Roof Top Tents for the Disco

    I have a 2001 DII and I have used an Overland tent on top and I am currently using a Maggiolina. What sort of questions do you have? Brian

    A little more info Please

    Nice, Whats Up Man! I knew you always wanted a Land Rover!! Another spec regarding the measurements the DII is 6" longer than the DI and its all in the rear overhang. Also the DII is 2" wider. Take a hard look at the DI, the current asking prices are impressively low and the aftermarket...

    New Twist on the MedAlert Bracelet concept

    It's certainly not a bad idea, it does no harm and only provides a benefit. There is a medical alert symbol on the band colored in bright orange. Surveys of first responders, fire and law enforcement have indicated that they would look for and notice the band. You do raise a good point...

    Rav-entures

    Hey that's great! I love seeing the alternatives to the traditional vehicle choices. We have a '97 RAV4 that is my wifes daily driver. I keep thinking about getting new tires and an updated suspension with a mild lift for it so we can use it for light forest road exploration. The way it is...

    Emergency Room list

    You could try Google Maps or Microsoft Streets and Trips. Most in-vehicle gps mapping systems should be able to tell you the closest to your current location. In 2005 when driving across country from CT to AZ my wife Amy was 7.5 months pregnant. I used Microsoft Streets and Trips to plot out...

    Tents

    Sorry, I have to chime in here with a warning. IMHO Airzone tents are not all that great and their customer service is just bad. I purchased an Airzone tent from a third party brand new. Upon the second time using it, one of the air beams exploded. The end split. I called the manufacturer...

    New Twist on the MedAlert Bracelet concept

    The founder of the company came up with the idea when surfing in the Hawaiian Islands. After a big wave knocked him down, sucked him under and held him down, he washed up on the beach a bit away from where he started. He was fine, but it could have easily gone bad and left him washed up on the...

    New Twist on the MedAlert Bracelet concept

    These are very cool, I met with the owners of the company at the recent Outdoor Retailer Show and they have a very solid infrastructure to support the purpose of the ID Band. One of the best features is the emergency contact information that is stored on the recording. With a regular ID card...

    DII hub and bearing maintenance

    Hi all, I'm getting ready to install a sweet new brake set that I'm very excited about: DBA rotors + OEM pads, I found them over at Expedition Exchange. So here is my question - on a 2001 DII with 94,000 miles - do I need to perform any maintenance on the hubs while I have the rotors off? I...

    Hey Kellymoe, Is your wall direct into concrete? How tall is it? How wide? How many holds? How old are your kids? Thanks, This thread has rekindled our idea of building one. Brian
