    The East Tennessee Tour

    Preface: Fellow Photographers, I used three different cameras for this trip. Depending on what I wanted to do, I used a crop sensor DSLR, a pretty decent Point and shoot (heavily, most photos from it), and my camera phone. So if you notice a huge difference in image quality, that is why. So I...

    XZL pattern tires on Rover Steelies

    First Aid: Lets have a Talk

    I'd like to preface this with the information that I am a former boy scout and always try to carry my first aid kit. That said, its been years and years and years since I've taken any kind of formal instruction and my first aid kits are typically geared toward health concerns that would be...

    Quick Dumb Tire Question: BFG MTs

    Quick stupid question: Currently Running the BFG MT KM style tire. Been loving this tire for the better part of a decade. But as you can imagine with 10 year old tires, its about that time for replacements. Are the KM2s just as good or even better? Anyone make the switch? I'm going to get the...

    Defender/Series Body Panel Question

    Hi All, Quick question, I've got a Series 3 109 3 door with a crappy hard top. The roof needs a coat of paint but the sides aren't in any kind of decent shape. I found a pair of 110 3 door sides (with sliding windows :) ) for sale. Will they fit? My plan is to get the sides, disassemble my...

    Jetboil noob question

    Long story short, I scored a Jetboil flash for an extremely reasonable price this weekend. Its the wrong color but you gotta make compromises :sombrero: Anywho, I tried it out last night, WOW. It boils water extremely fast. However while playing with it, I noticed that the burner seems to...

    Fancy Synthetic oil for transmission, worth it?

    I've got a 1973 Land Rover 109. At higher speeds I've got a high pitched wine. The transmission has decent components in it and I'm due for an oil change. I'm considering putting in fancy Amsoil or Redline transmission fluid in as well as the transfer case. I ask others with older...

    Tablet for work, what can it do for me?

    So recently while travelling, I'm noticing a lot of people using their tablets for work. So far really, I've only seen guys use them when referencing emails or maybe photos. What else can a tablet be used for? I guess I should preface this by saying I've seen it mainly in a sales roll. So in a...

    One-Man Brake Bleeder

    I looked at at autozone right now they have a pretty cheap one-man bleeding system on sale. Its like, $8. I know you get what you pay for but considering how often I bleed brakes (aka, once every 5~10 years) I'm not interested in a $300 setup. I'm about to redo my entire brake system on my...

    Anyone been able to sound proof-ish a series?

    One of my goals for this year is to sound proof the 109. I hate to sound like an old man, but comfort is becoming a bigger requirement for me (I re-sealed the doors and they fully seal now, re-did the seats, few other little bits). Sound proofing is something I'd like to add to the 109...

    So I have installed new door lock tumblers into my new anti-burst latches on my series 3 109. Now the doors won't lock. I can insert the key into the lock, turn it, and I see the little tab on the inside moving but it won't stay up. Also on the inside, I try to lock it via the tab, and its not...

    Need Camera Bag Recommendations

    So I'm looking for a specific bag for a specific application. Basically, I'm looking for a day hike backpack with a nice camera compartment in it. Pretty much all the camera backpacks I've seen don't have any extra storage space for a lunch, rain gear, etc. So a backpack with a lot of...

Currently I either take my road or my mountain bike to the grocery store, or to pick up whatever at Advance auto or to Ace, etc. It sucks having to carry extra shoes and not having a...

    Called in sick

    Long story short, all work and no play makes LR Max go nuts. I saw an opportunity in my work schedule (which includes weekends!) to take off for the day. The goal was to check out a couple of forest roads and to find a pretty nice place to put up the hammock and drink a root beer. Nothing...

    Lightweight backpacking tripod

    Hi all, I wanted to get some input on a backpacking lightweight tripod. Will be holding a Nikon D80 with a 35mm lens and maybe a video camera (has good COG, unlike, say a Canon XTI with a 300mm f/2.8 hanging off the front :elkgrin:). But yeah, lightweight and compact are the key factors here...

    Screen calibrator recommendation

    So one of my screens is pretty good, but the screen on my laptop is crap. I really do need to calibrate these puppies. My laptop is so bad, its not even worth editing on. Does anyone have a recommendation for a screen calibrator? I am willing to spend in the ~$100 range but not too much more...
