    LP Generator

    Now you have me thinking. I'm in planning stages for my new little trailer, and I have solar panels and a couple batteries already that need to be figured out, but experience last summer camping out of my truck was that it was marginal for powering just a fridge (and it shouldn't be).

    LR3 4.4 What octane?

    Ding ding ding ding. And if there is pre-detonation happening, you can feel it. And the sensor will tell you as well. So it's all good and there is kumbayah in the valve train.

    LR3 4.4 What octane?

    A free snickers bar to whomever can describe exactly what may happen with lower-than-advised octane fuel. Hint: you will know it's happening. And if it isn't, no worries. There is no ultra secret long term damage occurring that only engineers can understand.

    First Ten Things to Purchase Before an Overland Adventure

    I read quite the opposite. Scott's list is very reasonable. But i do see endless "rigs" here that cost absurd amounts of money, and i agree with you that the focus should be on the experience and adventure, not the "stuff".

    Thank you. I noticed it isn't necessary to add $25K to a vehicle in order to do this stuff :)

    Ideas for FR load bars on factory rails?

    I'm moving away from a full FR rack but want to add 2 or 3 simpler load bars. Looking for any ideas on configuring something to attach to the factory rails to support them instead of the $$ FR foot rail kit.

    RIP 2011 LR4 Kilt by a cell phone and a neon. In a subdiviso

    My beloved 4 has been reborn as an almost identical (color anyway) 2008 LR3. I came close to getting an LX470 but it fell through. I'm happy with this one. The 4.4 is super quiet. Not going to put the FR rack back on. I couldn't' hear myself think with that thing. Any feedback on the...
