After searching the options, the ARB AWNING 2500 (ARB4401A) and the ARB TOURING AWNING ROOM WITH FLOOR 2500 (ARB4406A) would be a good fit for my Land Rover. The rtt didnt work for my dogs, and the SUV style tents aren't easy for one person to put up. SO! I'm now looking at this. I have a budget...

I've had an on again/ off again relationship with this Land Rover but finally accept that Shorty is sticking around despite my moods. I've done so much work on the bugger, including rebuilt engine, cooling system, clutch etc. I'm getting new tires this week, Friday we're going in for BFG all...

For the first time, I planned to go to Expo West in the Coconino National Forest. I just didn't want to take I40 from Albuquerque to Flagstaff. What would be the point? Isn't this all about the journey and not simply the destination? Anyway, I took the week off work and took a nap. Thursday...

First Exploration of the backroads in the Jemez Mtns For the blog I write about my road trips with the dogs: https://roadtripswithmydogs.wordpress.com/2015/05/11/first-exploration-of-the-backroads-in-the-jemez-mtns/ We set out early in the morning, with Harold in the front seat, the pups in...

Sadly, I've realised I need to sell my old Land Rover. It's the constant desire to improve, fix, change details. I can keep it as it is, but you know how it goes. Anyway, if I can find a good home, Shorty would do better with someone who can finish up and drive and enjoy her more. I bought this...

Today was the first full day with the Adventure strapped to the 4Runner. I was a bit nervous about, well, everything, but the truck handled the same, maybe even better on the dirt roads across to Cochiti Reservoir (NM). It shook the bolts loose so I need locktite or something - anything you...

Any thoughts and suggestions appreciated. I just had a phonecall from my mechanic who is stumped and worried enough that he doesn't want me driving the Series until we know what's really going on. A took Shorty for a 100 mile drive on county roads, after 50 0r 60 miles when turning right onto...

Hey folks, I"m new to trailers but am getting a 1947 Teardrop and want to take it with me into bear country! I camp in the mountains around NM/ CO and AZ mostly and the truck is too small for me and three dogs for more than a few days at a time. I mostly drive unpaved 2WD roads, NF ones, and...

I bought a 1972 SIII three years ago from a friend of mine. It's had three owners in NM and before that came from UK in 2010 ish. You know the story, these 40 year old vehicles are not the most reliable and I've had my fair share of breakdowns in the last three years. To the point where I'm...

SOLD I'll be coming to the Expo in May and can bring this with me. I never use it, scares me to be honest, and would love to find it a good home. I bought it new for $98 here in NM and would take either $50 or trade for a good heavy duty bottle jack with handles. Thanks!

I know, I know, I'm sure this comes up alot but I can't seem to get a clear answer! So...the question is, does the factory installed cross bars on the 4Runner hold the weight of the 95# Ayer RTT? The bars say 100#s evenly dispersed weight. Is that each one? Not that I weigh under a 100#s. Hmm...

Hello, I thought I'd share the last big trip I took with three dogs, a 95 4Runner and some basic camping gear. I'd been wanting a 4Runner for a while and just got this beast, "Fiona" a month before. She had new brakes, good engine, old tires (oops) and enough room for the four of us. I was ready...

I just came across this on the Rovers North forum and thought I'd try to share it. Hopefully you get to see their photos too. http://forums.roversnorth.com/showthread.php?15170-1973-Series-III-on-a-5000-mile-trip-through-the-US

Hello everyone, I just wanted to ask a little advice or get feedback. I plan on taking my 72 Landy to the Overland Expo from near Santa Fe. I plan on heading south through Tijeras on Hwy 14 and then crossing the interstate at Socorro and taking Hqy 60 across to Payson then head north. Anyone...

I've been reading and researching but thought I'd also just add a post here too. I'm planning on driving from NM to AK for a six month trip next year. Myself - 5'9 height. Plus the three dogs. (Collie and akita mixes so each is 60 - 70#s). Good ground clearance (my dirt road if nothing else!)...

Last weekend in February, I invite any Rover owners and drivers to come to Madrid, NM to meet up! Madrid is a small village in the Ortiz Mtns with a history as a coal mining town, a ghost town that was revived by artists, hippies and vets who bought up the mining shacks in town or land in the...

ANyone out there want to get together in February in Madrid, NM? I'm thinking of setting up a local rover meet and greet, starting noon at the local tavern to warm up with something hot and then take a couple of hours driving and exploring the back roads in the area, all dirt, dating back to the...
