    A beemer?

    Powered by BMW. I suspect it’s a German independent builder. Never seen one before, and this one appears to be missing some trim. By the way, when BMW owned Land- Rover they Spec’d the 2.8 in-line six (M50B28) as an engine option. I’ve not seen one in the metal yet but that’s a nice option...

    NJ: Cuisinart CGG-200 Camping Gas Grill

    I dated a girl for a while who’s idea of “camping” was a hotel lacking room service... I haven’t camped in a few years so I’m not your buyer but I was genuinely interested when I saw the brand. So I guess it’s a home use thing, not really geared toward us nutcases. Interesting for sure.

    Dry fire for improving shooting accuracy

    Yeah, but the moose’s who ARE packing heat, are not to be messed with!

    NJ: Cuisinart CGG-200 Camping Gas Grill

    I had no idea Cuisineart made these.. What’s your opinion? I’ve used $20 wal mart grills until they rot out and then replace...

    Thank you. I’m not going to cry if someone comes along with cash and gets it. I generally am a man of my word but I’m at the mercy of outside financial forces here... once the flood gates open I’ll be buying trucks and yours seems ideal.

    M1101 Base Station Trailer: Spare Tire Carrier modification ideas requested from group

    If you go with a spring you might consider a garage door spring or a hood hinge spring. Some hoods used a “clock spring” type that’s more compact than the typical expansion coils. If you do use a spring a gas lift might make sense to control speed of the motion. Parked other than “flat” it...

    M1101 Base Station Trailer: Spare Tire Carrier modification ideas requested from group

    I don’t fully grasp what you’re getting at, but the gas assist- maybe I can help there. At the local Subway restaurant they have new coolers for the toppings. A big glass sheet that covers the food (closed) that hinges up to create the “sneeze guard”. It has four gas struts- two for...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    This is pretty much how I see it as well. They got so far out in the weeds, I guess banking on the China market? They just opened the largest LR dealership in CT in North Haven... someone’s gonna be pissed if JLR packs it in!

    2001 Discovery II input

    The mark II is very popular off road these days. Second and third hand availability fosters that. But it is more complex than the first version, as is to be expected. Just look up “the three amigos” for a start. But for $20 drive until dead and part it out to finance what you want. I...

    So... who was that new company trying to make Defenders now that JLR dropped the ball?

    Looking for a web site or other info. I thought I had seen one but it may have been an article from a third party or something. A little help?

    Reliability

    I’m 6-2 and using higher seats helps a lot. Also in the Defender since it’s about the same inside.

    Reliability

    I think an older Range Rover could be made comfortable.

    Stainless steel snorkel

    I made my snorkel from black PVC for my series in africa. Use a rubber adapter on top to fit the (Donaldson) ARB pre-cleaner. Looked like a tractor but worked great.

    100 Year Old OBA

    I bet it won’t overheat like the old ARB did (not sure about the current ones)!

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    Wow. I’m away a few days and the whole company collapses. I’d grab my popcorn but I fear this will all be over before the microwave finishes popping it!

    I haven’t forgotten about this... still waiting in funding, which is holding up A LOT. of things... Glad you’re taking good care of her!

    CB Tuning: Bad SWR Meter, Bad Antenna, Bad CB?

    The Ham GUY’S are far more knowledgeable than I am, but since I was a little kid Dad had a wicked CB rig in the house and in whatever car he was driving. He worked about 45 minutes drive from home and we could chat on that CB rig pretty much right away. So by exposure/default I know CBs. I...
