On bobwhites. The quail is a good training bird after the pup has figured out pointing and needs to learn how to behave more cautious around birds. At least for my dog. Liberated chukars would let her to get very close and hold the point almost forever. I remember the other day as I was...

Man, look at the frame and axles. They are not #### around.

hillstrubl The Rang Rover Classic had the same TC up until 1992 if I am not mistaken. Truly a great piece of engineering. I wonder what the Ineos Grenadier uses for the TC? They also have gone with a fulltime AWD like the old Defender / Disco 1-2/ RRC

Disco 1 has got arguably the most sophisticated and well designed transfer case ever. It was amazing how well the AWD system of Disco I worked due to the mechanically perfect TC. You could lock the central diff, or go to the low gear, or do both. On the Bridgestone Blizzaks my Disco 1 was...

There is a demand, not as much as it is in truck segment but there is some. This s why this year Ford will add a new RV trim for their vans. The package includes rotating seats, AWD, double battery and HD wiring etc. Ford did this due to the increase demand on the vans and those specific...

Is anyone here works at Toyota? Can you guys give us a Tundra based 4x4 van? We don't need more trucks but the market is experiencing a severe lack of actual 4x4 affordable, reliable and comfortable vans. The people, even the ones far from adventure / overlanding, will love it. Millennials...

Is that brown one a pudelpointer or gwp? The pudelpointer is becoming almost a default versatile hunting dog in America. It speaks a lot about the breed.

Congratulations Tex. This is a car one can pass down to his grandson. I'll be checking up this thread often. I have a question for you if you don't mind. How different is the TLC from the LX570? is the LX570 just as capable? They are somewhat cheaper than LCs around here...

On liberated chukars. Dusty and The Marlboro man in the vast wilderness / public lands of Connecticut. :D This was a beautifully work. A good but calm and steady wind helped her a lot to do a good quartering. She kept safely away but close enough so I could flash the bird myself.

Has anyone figured out what would be the lowest diff gears you could put in in order compensate for a low gear (4L)? The factory one is 4.10, but this only works with the 3.5L vans. I wonder if you could put 4.30 or even lower one?

Tex68w Man, you are well equipped.

It's interesting. I have never hunted chukars in the Western states (Oregon, Nevada, Idaho) but I have hunted them in their natural habitat which is Mediterranean and Near East. The topography was not nearly as hard as it seem in in Nevada or Oregon. In those areas it really might be like a...

Tex68w I did a preserve haunting in NY with my gf and it was a lot of fun. We purchased some sort of a 'starter pack" which included 12 birds; 9 chukars and 3 pheasants. We killed 9 birds. She killed 4 birds, including one big rooster. For her it was a huge deal since she never had hunted before...

Tex68w All these guns you have listed fits in my budget and her requirements. Thank you. Appreciate your insight.

Tex68w Yeah at the time I only can spend $1200 on her gun. This is not much but it could get her started. I have started looking into CZ, Remington and some other manufactures as well. One guy told me that for this price one can get a better recoil gun than an over-under. Thank for the advise...

I am planning on to buy a shotgun from my future wife. At the moment we can't afford to have separate guns for upland and waterfowl hunting, so I have to get somewhat "versatile" gun for her so she could start off. What would be a good gun for her in this sense? Also, meet Derringer "Dusty" Vom...

I don't want to change the course of the discussion, but I can't hold my self from asking this question Has the LC become 60 percent better vehicle / rig than what it was say in 90s? as much as I like the LC I don't think the price increase was proportional to its design / quality/ capability.

Sir, you had my curiosity, now you got my attention. I am super curious the ways you are going put an insulation in the van and what you are using for it.

This is a good point. Not just the tires, they should start thinking how to make an use Toyota parts such as breaks, disks, etc. All those places have a huge Toyota presence. Also, while I have no issue with the BMW engines, why not GM, Ford, Toyota or even Mercedes? Are not the modern BMW...

I feel, as a pure off-roading machine the Bronco or Jeep will be better than IG, but as an overlanding / traveling machine the IG is way ahead. Also, I like how open and none secretive they are. They like, "hey guys this is what we are doing at the time, what do you think?. Cool, we'll keep in...
