I have yet to use the HIDs at night. The ones I have are sold and branded by Rugged Ridge. I will report back once I have some over the road time with them. I do have a 200tdi.

Yes, this August. To Panama will be, ideally, as fast as possible. Having a deadline of mid August would be very fast, but do-able, especially if we were able to leave a little bit sooner. Most of my friends that would be interested in going want to take a slower pace through Central America...

I have a lot of flexibility in my time-frame for leaving, but right now, the goal is roughly August 1st. I would prefer to leave sooner, but a lot of it depends on how quickly I can get the truck done. In all honesty, the truck is probably ready to go as it sits right now. Everything else is...

Just as I was finishing up work on the roof platform, the rain started. I held out for as long as I could, but I wasn't able to finish. The last two boards are just set in place to give an idea of the profile. I still have some finish work to do, but I think it is looking pretty good. I am not...

Up front I do have stock 10 spline axles in the rover housing. Out back is the much stronger Salisbury with 24 spline. I see no need to upgrade.

That looks like a great platform. I love how the roof is very similar in style to the factory safari roof.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Not much of an update today, but something is better than nothing I suppose. This weekend was supposed to be an "off" weekend for me, but I couldn't help it. I also have official news that I will need a new co-driver. My original co-driver isn't going to...

Both ways have their advantages and disadvantages. Over the Front: Pros: Smallest footprint when open, better front-rear weight distribution Cons: Doesnt look as cool, no covered standing room under open tent, need to fab up a spot for the ladder to sit, have to stand on hood to close and...

I only have about 10 of the original 50 left. :snorkel:

Thanks! I forgot to add a couple photos: And some messing around with the video cameras. Chose 720p for best resolution:

Thanks, Jay. It is a bit different than what I am used to with the 4Runner but I love it. I still look back at it as I am walking away from it in a parking lot. I think it will look even better once I get the lift in. 2" OME HD to compensate for all the extra weight. The stock springs and...

So that brings us up to date. I know that was a quick run through, but feel free to ask questions and I will answer. I still have a lot to do on this build, but I will be updating this thread as I go.

Drilling for hinges. There is a machine that does this step automatically, but the hinges that I bought were different and it wouldn't work with them. I was sad. Adjusting hinges. Door closed. Door open. This is the cabinet that sits next to the fridge. (June 26 2011) Today I...

This is the build up of my Land Rover Defender 110. I will be leaving from New Hampshire and will travel down to Ushuaia. I will be traveling with one other person. We will be roughly following the Pan American highway. The goal departure date is the beginning of August. Once in Ushuaia, my...

I have a bunch of surplus Scepter fuel cans for sale. These are all used so there are scratches and scuffs, but they all work just as well as new. $90/pair SHIPPED. I can do a discount if picked up in person. Shipping is expensive.

I believe that you can rename the file from mp4 to mov and it will work. This is the workaround for some installations of Premier.

Sold.

I have a brand new Canon T2i camera that I don't need. I bought it to replace a T1i which has since been repaired. The T2i has never been taken out of the box. This is the body only, not a kit. $650 shipped to CONUS. Details on the camera -...

I just installed a set of the Guard Dogs (MTR look-alikes) on my Defender. So far, I am very impressed. I have a couple weekends of wheeling with them but only 150 or so street miles. Offroad they have performed very well. On the street they seem to be doing fine, but I need more miles to really...

From a little trip today:
