When I purchased my Superwinch 9.5 Talon, I connected it directly to the battery per the instructions. I have never been comfortable with this. Since my winch is enclosed and locked in an Aluminess bumper, I don't worry about the hooligans messing with it and "paper clipping" the control...

I saw this yesterday, and couldn't help myself. I just thought it was more appropriate here than in off topic. http://www.youtube.com/embed/mW9kRgQO-XE?feature=oembed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My wife and I met this impressive young man at Cline's Corner,NM earlier this summer on our way back to AZ. He said he wanted to have one big adventure before starting college, so he decided to walk from Atlanta , Ga to Los Angeles. We just got the message on Facebook yesterday that he...

Last year, my lovely wife and I set out to conquer the Continental Divide trail. This off pavement trail runs from Canada to Mexico and is approximately 2500 miles long with over 400,000 feet of elevation change along it's length. We ordered the maps from the Adventurecycling.org and downloaded...

This is a continuation of this thread. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/73198-Continental-divide-trail-July-21-August-4-2012 Well, it's finally time to get on the road. We will head north tomorrow after work for the 28 hour drive to Roosville, Mt. We changed our original plan...

I was going to use this on my Disco until it committed suicide. This swingaway mounts on a trailer spindle that can be purchased at any trailer supply and many farm stores however, It isn't included. The "hub" is welded to the carrier. This carrier is very well made, and the tire bolt pattern...

Post* We had never spent any time in this part of the country and decided it was time for some exploring. The new FJ was needing a shakedown cruise, so we prepped it and headed out.* Packed and ready to go! We headed out from Norman, OK the evening of 16th and pretty much drove straight thru to...

"And lo, Mr. and Mrs. Brushogger succumbed to temptation and ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Rover. After doing all that was required to rightfully maintain the altar heretofore known as D2, The Rover Gods decided they must be punished. Brushogger was told in a vision "Due to...

Hey Guys, I'm looking hard at these as I'm tired of running scared from the Disco Temp gauge. FJ owners- Give me your impressions. Happy, unhappy, glad you bought it or not? Recommended options? I've been looking online and have found nothing really bad about them. I'm going shopping this...

First of all, you New Mexico people are some of the luckiest in the world. This is one beautiful place! My wife and I had both been skiing there but never had the chance to explore. We camped the first night in Santa Rosa and headed out early the next morning for Red River. Along the way we...

I recently purchased an Oztent, and decided it needed a little protection up top and I needed a way to lockit up when away from the vehicle. I decided to build one out of 3/4 and 1/2" emt conduit. It's plenty strong and light too. I've got it bent up and ready to be welded. The condut...

Yesterday my truck developed a coolant leak that is in close quarters at the rear of the motor. I checked the local parts houses loan-a-tool for a tester, but none had an adapter that would fit my Disco. After returning home, I saw an old bicycle tube in the garage. It stretched over the tank...

I was going thru some old files the other night and found this plan for improvising a winch using two logs and rope. http://db.tt/AfhE6ux Has anyone ever tried this? It looks like a workable concept. This supposedly was used by the British army in WWII.

I've had this beast for a year now and decided to document the slow but cheap build. I try to make my purchases as deals come along and that helps a lot. I started with a stock 04 DII. I added 2" spring spacers and 235 85r 16 Wrangler Authority tires on stock P38 steelies. I traded an old...

I've been trialing this for three months and so far it's worked out great. I've been using these Swiss Military water bladders for years with great success. They are rated at five liters but I fill them to almost 2 gallons with no problem. After receiving my Trasharoo, I got the idea to hang one...

1 set of five Land Rover tires and wheels off a 2004 Discovery II. These are the 18" factory Hurricane wheels. 4 of the tires are 255 55r 18 General Grabber UHPs. These have .215" of tread. That's almost 1/4"! The spare is a 255 55r 18 Goodyear Wrangler HP. This tire and wheel is like new. The...
