I bought one years ago that rusted. I gave it away. Now I use plastic Scepter cans for water.

Years ago when I was suddenly on my own the two things I bought were a wok (to learn to cook) and a sewing machine (to learn to make my own stuff and hem pants and such) I still have them both 40 years later. Take a sewing class, they are out there, just to learn the basics. It can change your life.

While on the trail sometimes things happen that are best left to qualified technicians if it isn't covered in the manual. It would be great if there were a book that was 'LR for Idiots' like I had in the 70's for my VW. Some of the confusing if not downright stopping your movement type of things...

Things as simple as dome lights are in the manual. Did you not get one with the LR?

nice addition. Careful taking it down, don't hit the window.

Folding step stool like the BigSwede, great and takes up little space when folded. Mine is black and red.

Looks like it would be good if you have a PU.

Using less octane rating than prescribed per the owners manual or your technician may decrease performance and possibly cause damage to the internals of your engine. It may also decrease your milage. I have had to go out of my way on trips to find stations that sell 91 octane petrol to maximize...

Fabulous job. Looks like a real working project that you can be pleased by the outcome

always good to have help. Rack looks good up there.

Watched the vid, where's the door.

Would have liked to know about a group like this when I lived in SoCal, or even when I lived in Seattle. Thanks to this website there are so many things I am learning I may have missed.

I also carry water bricks, they don't leak. That Sceptor that was on my roof did. won't use a tool to tighten as it screws up the gasket. Just won't use the scepter cans on the roof again.

Tried to carry a Scepter can on my roof rack horizontal. In 75 miles I lost 1/2 the water, won't do that again.

I use leather welding gloves, long cuff keeps heat off my arms.

That thing is huge, how big is your tent?

Costs more than the vehicle I would pull it with.

Apparently there are various opinions, mostly based on personal experience and likes or dislikes. After reading all this back and forth it appears easier to just flip a coin.

Interesting collection of mud/dust you have there, not good for compressors. Mine is a Viair and I keep it in an ammo can in the back of the LR. It has battery clamps to attach it for power.
