    Micro adventures of the NW rockies

    Feelings of invincibility and stupidity often go hand in hand... I'm glad you stuck around, it's sad people don't have anything better to do than harass others.

    Finally getting a front bumper from Tactical and I need some help... I have emailed with Eric and he stated guys were putting the washer fluid bottle in the space between the passenger side air box and headlight. I currently have my ARB compressor living there... So 2 questions: 1. Does...

    Roof Rack Fun

    I wish that was the case, the amount fresh RTV securing the rail to the truck pretty much ruled that out (I have never had the rails off before but I did look at the fasteners in the past and it was the silver land rover torx flange bolt in this location) and from the times I've seen it done you...

    Roof Rack Fun

    I had no idea they were removeable... The repair seems to be holding fine and I installed the rack yesterday and was able to get it tight and compress the lock washer. I did clean out all the mounting locations and use a small amount of blue loctite on them. I actually had a whistling noise...

    Roof Rack Fun

    Got my shiny new Front Runner roof rack all built and ready to go, went to put the tracks on tonight and that's where the install progress stopped. About six months ago the roof glass developed a crack and we needed to have it replaced. We took it to a local auto glass shop and their turn...

    Best place to live?!?!

    Just my .02 and I LOVE Texas, but Dallas & Houston are great places to live (jobs, housing) but not somewhere to visit... I want to move to AZ but the wife loves Texas and her role at work requires her to be at their headquarters in Dallas. I am from Florida and lived in Oregon for a while, but...

    LR3 Underbody protection. i've bagged a bargain.

    I really like the bolt protectors on those plates. I've beat up the bolts on my tactical plates pretty bad, would love to find a way to protect the bolts better, but glad to have skids at all...

    I've run a Thule box for a couple years and 10+ trips all with lots of washboards and it has held up better than I thought it was going to... X2 on max bar spread and packing technique.

    Running with the Devil: Four Days on El Camino del Diablo

    Thanks for the advice, my primary concern is night time camp visitors. We camp along the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Park and have had some visitors from Boquillas but we were expecting that... This scenario is a little different as the folks here are heading north and CBP is more active in...

    Any idea why the britpart shaft snapped? No traction to quick grip scenario? Or it just failed? Good rover dealers are harder to come by!

    LR3 2005 vs Newer With More Miles

    A PPI is a great idea but simply driving both trucks will tell you a ton... Do some reading on the Lower control arms, they're a wear item and as your intention to use the truck off road will need to be replaced even more often. As everybody else said, check out the compressor and cycle the...

Sorry about the weather, we were in the same boat in October in BBNP, all dirt was closed save for Old...
