    Sleeping Bag Alternative for Long-term International Trip

    Take a full size sheet fold it over and sew the end and side, makes a bag liner, available almost anywhere, inexpensive and when it wears out replace it, anywhere in the world. Don't overthink this.

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    Great attachment of the box to the rack. If you are going to add footmen loops to the bottom of the box you will be making holes to attach them. Perhaps a few more holes to attach the box to the rack might also be an idea, to secure it from the inside, as the hooks you have attached the box with...

    LR3 Dash Cover...

    I used a friends original LR dash cover for a pattern and made my own from 3 layers of black felt. I did not cover the hump over the gages behind the steering wheel. 3 pieces because I had enough felt and one would have been too flimsy. Edged it with black edge binding from JoAnnns. Cost was...

    No matter what happens in a Rally, you don’t abandon your teammate.

    Almost sounds like an angry wife story.

    Abandoned/derelict sites

    Actually we were there to see Jim's grave. It is tucked in among many others and if you blink you will go right by it. There was originally a bust of him but it was stolen and each time replaced it was stolen again and they just quit putting them up. It is a very nondescript grave and no where...

    New Defender News

    I have put lots of personal comfort items on my 07 LR3 that the idea of starting anew on a Defender just because I can does not make sense especially when I read so many reports about fixing them coming up. I would rather put in a new engine (diesel?) than get a new vehicle. There are wear...

    Graveyard in Paris. Must be an interesting story behind this grave as certainly no one else will ever buried on this site

    Stainless Steel Water Carrier?

    I use a simple faucet ( $1.49) and just added a few wraps of electrical tape. If the can is upright of course there are no leaks and on its side the spout controls the flow of water. It can be removed and the attached top screwed back in position for easier storage. Works in all my cans and...

    How noisy are aluminum storage cases?

    I use this stuff for lots of things, might be good for a aluminum box. https://www.amazon.com/3M-03584-Professional-Rubberized-Undercoating/dp/B002H9CMCQ/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=vehicle+under+bed+spray&qid=1610389108&sr=8-3

    Access Mode Rubbing

    You really have some miles on your rig. Not sure about KO2 tires, are they much different from Duratrac? Mine rub in access mode. 2007 LR3 147K miles, 275 65 18 Duratrac, 0n steel wheels. I cut out a bit of the plastic fender liner where it rubs. Only rubs when wheel is turned and backing out...

    ARB Aluminum Housing Awning 2500 vs regular, black back ARB 2500mm Awning w/ Light

    I have an aluminum housing awning and I really like it. Not getting ripped on branches appeals to me. Easy to mount but when I ordered/received mine it did not come with mounting hardware but was advertised as having it. I emailed them and they said that so few used the supplied hardware that...

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    I appreciate headroom as much as many do but the expense of a pop top on my LR, I am not going in that direction. I would have to sacrifice the roof rack and the storage it affords me. I have 26 inches of sleeping space with the shelf system which is a bit more than I had on the carrier when in...

    Simple Rotopax Roof Rack Mount Build

    Don't know his reason but it looks to a place for the bolts to be tightened easily. Admire the work, it looks like a champion bit of fabrication. I am curious about vibration, hope the tabs keep that from happening.

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    I understand the necessity of a roll bar on some vehicles but the ability to mount it on the outside makes more sense to me.

    How noisy are aluminum storage cases?

    I use the medical surplus boxes. Waterproof but a bit heavy so I put them on the roof rack empty then fill them. They come in three sizes so the smallest goes on the roof and only holds clothes which does make it rather light weight. Never noticed 'dust' on the inside probably as clothes don't...

    Lag bolt length for tent stakes

    I weld a washer on to the side of a 16 inch piece of 1/4 inch rebar, sharpen the end and pound them in. Cheap and not difficult to make. I paint them dayglo orange at the top 1/2 to find them easier. also got some of these and they are great. https://snowpeak.com/products/solid-stake-40-r-104
