    Out with the Cruiser in with the Rover

    yeah, would be nice, but it doesn't seem to hurt because of it. The Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is an almost perfectly comparable vehicle, except that the Jeep has a true permanent 4WD system and a real real locker, and I haven't found a video yet where the Jeep was proved to be any more capable...

    An Axe - Seriously?

    my 2-bits. I camp for the enjoyment of the experience. This means sometimes I use tools or techniques that I find more enjoyable than their more "efficient" alternatives. Like cooking on a cast iron skillet over an open fire instead of boiling water in a backpacking stove to prepare freeze dried...

    Out with the Cruiser in with the Rover

    I noticed this as well. The parking garage in my apartment has very steep circular ramps, my Land Cruiser goes up them in 1st gear, the DS does them in 2nd.

    How tf do I replace the O2 sensor on a 100-series with DT headers?

    My '98 cruiser threw a code a while ago for a bad O2 sensor. I bought the part, and went to replace the bad sensor....only to discover that because a previous owner installed fancy Doug Thorley headers....the f-in O2 sensor is danged near impossible to access. Is there any way to get this thing...

    Out with the Cruiser in with the Rover

    After many months of deliberation and shopping and soul searching I gave my 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser to my brother, and purchases for myself a 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. Obviously not expecting it to be the beast that the Cruiser was, but so far I have been nothing but impressed with my...

    Do You Keep A Backup/Emergany Kit?

    If I lived somewhere prone to snow, or if I were routinely driving in remote areas, I would definitely have a full survival kit. The Survivorman episode where Les was in a car that broke down in the Norwegian mountains was an eye opening to just how completely screwed you can become and how...

    Klean Kanteen: Stainless Steel Bottles

    specifically I'm hoping it fits in to the Maxpedition 10x5 bottle holder. I think it should, but i'm worried i might lose the ability to use the pouch in the top of the cover for storage.

    Klean Kanteen: Stainless Steel Bottles

    the Klean Kanteen website says the mouth is 54mm (2.125in) wide. I can't find the specs for Nalgene anywhere and don't have one available to measure. Can anybody tell me how they compare? It looks a little smaller in pictures. Also, can anybody attest to whether or not they fit in equipment...

    Klean Kanteen: Stainless Steel Bottles

    So I just got a great deal on a couple of 40oz wide mouth bottles by Klean Kanteen. Does anybody else have experience with this brand? I've been looking for a good stainless steel alternative to Nalgene bottles for a while that wasn't outrageously expensive. any feedback on how long you...

    Favorite "silly" little detail on your Land Cruiser?

    I'll remember that about the koozie. Maybe put 1 or 2 in the center console.

    Oshkosh P-19 Crash Truck

    Airport Crash trucks aren't geared the same, because of the nature of airport firefighting you have to be able to achieve very high speed chasing aircraft down the runways. The P-19 will top out close to 100mph, although I do not recommend doing that. Gas milage is doing to suck regardless though.
