We do have the 109 SW tank, but not the underseat tanks since it is an SW. When we were in Death Valley we were starting to get worried about fuel, and we had two 5 gallon jerry cans. We were making choices about where to go based on fuel availability. They were out of gas at Panamint which...

Nice work. The 5/8" line may cause you some anxiety at the filling station, but it may be just fine. I was thinking about putting something like this in our Dormobile: It looks like it intercepts the filler hose. I can't decide if that is a good idea or not. It is a 46 liter tank, which...

I have 5 new wheels installed. The cracked wheel is getting a failure analysis done on it. Who knows how old the wheel was, but probably over 40 years old. I had 5 wheels and only two of them had identical markings on them. They were the early offset - the offset for 109 wheels was...

I bet I am cuter, too!

The rest of the article is here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703427704575052010228653210.html I would say this lament could be extended to many more outdoor activities besides hunting and fishing.

Looks like your question is already answered, so I will add an anecdote. Years ago, I met an Englishman who told me they would get a "field lift" on Range Rovers when they needed it by lowering the tailgate and bouncing up and down on it to pump up the self-leveling unit. Also, our 93 Range...

One of the electrical engineers I works with is a former FCC enforcement officer. When I was talking to him about the antenna hookup for my rig, he was surprised to learn that a lot of dual band radios (ie, the Yaesu FT-8800R) use a UHF connector (PL-259/SO-239). He says those connectors are...

I agree with you, but in this instance, Keith is willing to put his money where his mouth is. He wants to buy it now, and he also tried to buy it several years ago, when it was on West Coast British's lot. It had been sitting on WCB's lot for a long time, and when Keith expressed an interest...

We have the older model of the smaller one, and it works well. We have used it at 8000 feet with no issues. It has a pretty robust tipover shutoff - I can bump up against it and it shuts off. It will empty a 1 lb propane cylinder in 6 hours on low. The bigger one uses a lot more propane...

There are online copies of some of the more esoteric manuals here: http://www.basicsurvival.nl/landrover-documenten/category/1-l

Congrats on your acquisition. For the 67, the headlights go in the grille. The style of lights in the wings you have are late Series IIA & III (1970 on, I think). You could use 4 headlights like Mercedes Rover does (check out his build link that is stickied at the top of this section of the...

Coleman has made some good stoves and some bad ones, so when you make comparisons, you need to keep that in mind. Question about the Partner stoves - how well do they simmer, and how quickly can they boil? A lot of camping stoves I have used are good at one or the other but not both. Come...

I don't really need it out on the freeway - most vehicles are passing me anyway. Where I do need it is in town, because some of Tucson's speed limits are a lot slower than you would think they should be, and if I don't have any traffic to help me judge, I'll be seeing a judge.

Ah, that looks like exactly what I need, the cheapest Nuvi: Thanks.

Now that I have spent as much on my speedometer as a nice GPS would cost, only to have the cable break again, I am thinking I just need to buy and permanently mount a GPS to use as a speedometer/odometer. Our Garmin etrex Venture may be pressed into service for this, but I was wondering if...

Thanks for all the responses. The updated software seems to have fixed the problem, although one would think by version 2.9 it should already be fairly robust.

I had zero issues with my GPSMAP 76S, too bad someone stole it. This one was 3 updates behind, but we have only owned it for a few months, so I never really paid attention until now.

Today we were driving around the area northeast of Florence, Arizona, looking for some specific mines. We had the USGS 7.5 minute quads for the area, but they are pretty out of date when it come to the roads in the area. Just when we came to a particularly confusing set of roads, the GPS shut...

We have camped with ours at 9000 ft several times with no issues.

I just got my two five pound cylinders refilled for the first time. They could barely get any propane into the one hooked to the stove. This was after 5 days of cooking breakfasts and suppers. The one we had hooked to our Mr Heater Portable Buddy heater was almost empty, but it ran for 12...
