    Installing a side case on a LR3/4

    I watched the video and was impressed with the way the rail was installed and the possibility of additional items that might be added in future. Possibly another Rotopak. Although I would be a bit concerned with vibration. I installed a snorkle to my LR and drilling into the side of the vehicle...

    Glitz to Grit: Resort/Camping Trip to Vegas and Death Valley

    I have traveled North through the Imperial Valley in a vehicle with no AC and it was 104 in the cab. Might have been warmer in DV but I did not have the will to go that far East to find out. I have gone through DV in the winter and it was very pleasant, no one else there. I wanted to go for a...

    Jerry Can Spouts

    Get the spouts the same place you get the cans or on Amazon, they are plentiful. Not sure what you mean 'the best' if it works it is the best. Don't get anything cheap. I had a Nato blue can for awhile that was made for water, it rusted and became useless. I now use plastic Scepter cans...

    'search' tossed out 'kit' - i gave up!

    Saw one in Canada while ago looked cool but the assembly, after I researched it, was a bit much for me.

    Installing a side case on a LR3/4

    edit: How would you fasten it? Screwing it to the side of the vehicle will cause many problems. It covers the antenna for reception of the radio. The pic shows it on the co-driver side not driver side. Blocks the view to the rear. Is there not room inside? why not fasten it below the...

    Storing an LR3

    I want to travel for six months and have my LR3 for use when I return. What steps do I take to have it function to use it when I return to the US? What needs to be done to properly store it?

    Charcoal storage bag

    I would go with ATC stuff cause they make quality goods (tow strap throw bag) and they are a US company, but the Tidy Cat tub is a great idea. I see lots of them on CR for free also the drywall mud tubs work and the lid snaps tight, you might even find one on a construction site for free. Just...

    Lets talk shovels

    MiamiC70, I cannot begin to tell you how much sleep I am not losing by having my overland cred being in jeopardy by not spending $300 on a shovel. But of course that is said with all humor. When I was in the Navy in Viet Nam in '65 the Admiral was visiting the carrier, stopped by the mess deck...

    Mini rice cooker

    Check on Amazon, there are several. I wanted to be sure the one I was checking out had a locking lid, it does..Many want one that works on 120V as well as 12V. Not going to happen. They do not cost that much anyway. I have been cooking rice at home for many years, got mine at a store that sells...

    Quickfist clamps for Hi Lift?

    I would not trust a Quickest to hold a Hi lift. Quick is a great product for many applications, shovel or hatchet/ax but the thing is rubber after all and not intended for something that heavy. Hi lift sells clamps that are made for the jack and can be gotten through them, many off road stores...

    What do you carry on your bumper?

    T4X4 bumper with swing out tire carrier and depending on the trail and the day lots of dust. Mounted the two Nato cans under the LR to keep COG low and replace the tire pound for pound. Thought it might be a hassle to get in the rear but after two or three openings with the swing out carrier...

    Mini rice cooker

    Although I have found a 12V rice cooker I will probably not get one. Just one more thing to carry and find a place for. Usually if I intend to have a meal that would include rice I would make it at home, create small portions, freeze it and vacuum seal it for use later. Meal planning is...

    Rotopax 4-Gallon mounting hole spacing

    When I carried my Nato cans on my RR I would vent them and also compress the sides a bit, just like you say. I also made a white canvas cover to strap over them. Keeps the sun exposure down a bit as the cans are dark. Also at altitude they do expand a little so I open them with the spout away...

    Potable Water Can?

    I have 6 of the 20L that are brown and 2 of the 10L that are blue and 2 that are brown. I carry the 2 10L brown ones on a fabricated holder on the RR and the 2 blue inside the vehicle. Unless going out for a very long time the 20L stay home. Got them from Lexington Container Co. Their shipping...

    Tire Deflators - What Do You Use and Why?

    I have a set of Staun deflators that I have had for 20 years, but bought an ARB deflator. Haven't been off road for over a year now so have no real comparison.
