I agree. We did the Lead King loop on the 24th (that was the non-fall footage in the video). We had a big group, but we were ok. It wasn't wet, so thanks for the heads up. The Crystal Road was fine wet, even the mud bogs weren't that bad. Schofield pass scares me. Mainly due to the...

While you plan your week long epic journeys through the mountain passes around Telluride, Ouray and Silverton, I highly recommend taking an excursion to the north towards the town of Marble and Crystal. The Crystal Mill is an air compressor station that has been noted for being the most...

Gerry McGovern has been quoted as saying he despises anything bolted to the front of his designs, ie: brush guards and stuff. He might be "the guy" for the evoque and the Range Rover line, but honestly, I think he's arguably the wrong guy for Discovery (the engineering is fine, design is...

I'm a camera and now video nut. My "kit" includes a Mavic Pro, a Nikon D800, a pair of Olympus Tough TGs (A TG2 and a TG4), and old school work horse Cannon XHA1, Cannon Vixia camcorder, and a few Garmin Virbs. If I could only take one camera, it would be the TG4. It is pocketable, crush...

I test drove multiple jag units that were all junk. The nice ones were all waaay to much $$. Dollar per dollar, at least in my region, a well taken care of BMW unit is far superior to a Jag one. I wanted a Jag unit, but now I have a BMW L322 I'm glad I did "avoid them like the plague"...

I posted on the article. The authors generally replay to comments on the DISQUS threads, so if Scott Brady can't receive PMs (and I don't blame him, I'm sure he'd get a ton of traffic), he should at least be notified that there is a comment on his article.

Then I'd be willing to bet your thermostat is bad. Probably bad from the get go. If you are running a 180F thermostat and are seeing 215-220F temps something is wrong. Ultra guage of 220F is insanely bad. I'd swap out the temperature sender while I was at it to make sure it's reading right...

I haven't read every post in your build thread, just stumbled on your cooling issues. I can tell you this from multiple vehicles, when something in the cooling system fails, REPLACE IT ALL. You will be ahead time, money AND reliability if you do so. Sounds like you have replaced some parts...

Here are my thoughts. On previous threads I said: Get the JAG ENGINED '07 and up!! Like everyone else. I test drove a 2011 and it was awesome! I was nearly ready to trade my truck in on one, but then priorities changed and the L322 dream went away. Then last year I began looking for a...

Depending on your off-road skill level, I highly recommend going to Red Rock 4Wheelers website: http://www.rr4w.com/ and then requesting their newspaper for the Jeep Safari. The map won't be detailed enough to plan your routes and the descriptions of the trails are the same as the website...

Just adding to everyone else. I bought my '99 4 years ago with full maintenance records (GBR did the head gaskets) and it only had 99k on the original drive train. Cost? $5,500, AND I STILL overpaid because I wanted a well-sorted Land Rover. Fast forward to 2017 and one with 140k on the...

Reliability as everything to do with maintainability on a Discovery 2. Since they are old, how well they have been maintained is the question. $10k for a D2 that doesn't have at most 30k miles on it and the plastic covering the seats when it is was new is ridiculous. My 1999 with full records...

And you would be correct......I guess I was dumber 1 year ago. Now? I would probably wouldn't tow anything much heavier than a RRC with an L322. Sure, it'd match the 7700lb tow rating, but he's gonna come awfully close to the 550 tongue limit. I'm not a fan of the hitch design on the modern...

We ran into an overlanding party while exploring San Rafeal Swell. Two LR3s a Taco, a Jeep Rubi and a GX. The GX looks sweet with the roof rack and good tires. Made me put it on the "short list". I actually thought it was the RX or whatever the Landcruiser one is at first glance, but it was...

I'd like to toss in that '99 is a magic year for both the D1 and D2 (yes they were both offered stateside). The engine block of the 4.0 in '99 is allegedly a better cast than later 4.0s, and you also get the CDL. Yes, you can install the linkage (I did that), but trust me, just spend $300 and...

I've ran my RoadPro now through an entire season of off-roading. A few observations from me: 1) I was worried about power consumption. I have a 20A fuse to the rear of the D2, but not sure what guage of wire it has. It has been fine, and the socket doesn't feel hot. So I'm just going off of...

Man, seeing that Willy's CJ2 over there has to be as rare as us seeing a D110 in the wild! I'd love to have two of those series beasts....one to restore and another for parts!

As mentioned before, the '06+ jag powered Rovers are the most reliable. Heck, I have a Discovery 2, which is what gave them the "junk" reputation (and the Freelander sealed the deal). That said, it's the most reliable used car I've ever bought, heck, it even has a helical geared transfer case...

Did you guys see the Press Release? It's ugly. It's long. It weighs 1k less than the LR4 and can tow 8k. It also has better stock off-road capabilities than the LR4. Crazy. I felt for sure it would be a soft-roader, while I despise the styling, Sulihull has done it again: Wrapped a luxury...

It is kind of funny to browse all the social media posts on the Disco 5. Nearly every "official" Land Rover Reply is something along the lines of: "We disagree it looks like a Ford Explorer. The Discovery 5 has matured past it's original design language and is radial just like each previous...
