I have a 2017 Discovery 5 diesel and got the 20's because the availability of aftermarket tires in 21 inch sizes is dismal. It seems that manufacturers are avoiding the odd numbered wheel sizes for real off road capable tires. That's why I swapped form 19's to 18's on my LR3. Tell him to go with...

Beautiful scenery in this promo film https://vimeo.com/233385042

I daily drove a Series IIA for over twenty years. You really learn to relax and watch the scenery go by. You'll get a lot of friendly waves and gas stops take a lot longer because of the questions you'll get.

Plus if you are in bear country cooking in a tent brings a whole new set of problems...

I'll third or fourth the Cabelas Alaskan Guide Geodesic tent - a friend of mine has one that has survived two hurricanes at the ROAV Mid Atlantic Rally where in successive years we had seven and nine inches of rain fall in 24 hours. Coupled with high winds and biblical amounts of rain the tent...

Great idea for the end of the hammock not attached to the roof rack of the truck. How long are the tripod tubes and ridgepole? What wall thickness tubing are you using? Is the other washer welded to the ridgepole? We are so copying this idea.... with a tripod I could have the hammock under the...

That's a really cool idea - hope you do well with it.

I used to use Estex Manufacturing in Fairburn, GA to make a lot of special pads and bags for Lockheed. They make a lot of stuff for the airlines. Joe Lattanzi was my main contact there. They could make up a big duffle type bag using some heavy vinyl fabric if you give him a sketch of what you...

A friend of mine has one and it has survived two hurricanes that hit central Virginia when we were up there for the Mid Atlantic Rally in successive years. One year there was 7" of rain in 24 hours the next years there was 9" of rain in 24 hours. The ground underneath was dry when we took the...

Are those the Accuride 9308 slides? What length did you choose and how well do they work in the laid down position like you have them?

Took a family shot of the three diesels today - the gasoline powered 1967 Series IIA is in the garage getting a frame up restoration so it couldn't join the party. L-R 1985 - 2017 - 1966

Eureka Timberline - one of the worlds greatest tents. When the waterproofing coating on mine started flaking off after about twenty years that thing smelled so rank that people in the next campsite were asking "What died around here?" I couldn't figure out a way to save it so it had to go.

Bought some US Army surplus aluminum stakes at the local Army Navy store for $1.49 each. I have some of those big plastic stakes I bought at Harbor Freight which work ok in soft ground but break pretty easily.

Just deleted my Photobucket account after ten years with them. They weren't very good anyway and the new pricing structure was the final nail in the coffin for me. I emptied out all the galleries and deleted the account just in case they decide to get creative about charging you even if you...

I've used smugmug for years - its a pay account but I enjoy taking photographs and sharing them with a lot of people. Smugmug was started by the guy who runs advrider.com and we all saw it as a way of supporting him for years. Now his kids runs smugmug and its a truly professional photo hosting...

I was checking out the Snomaster dual zone fridge at Overland Expo last fall - very cool piece. It's nice to have ice cream on a camping trip.

Plus the 300 HP of the V-8 makes it feel like a hot rod compared to anything but a supercharged Range Rover in typical Land Rover experiences. Get the V-8.

I had a 2007 until two weeks ago - put over 50,000 relatively trouble free miles on it in four years and liked it so much that I decided to buy a 2017 Discovery 5 diesel. It really is a world of difference between the previous Discoverys. The 4.4 V-8 is a great engine - 300 HP and better fuel...

The biggest baddest Pro level Canon or Nikon full frame DSLR you can afford with a couple of lenses. Yes they are heavy and bulky but they are weather sealed and generally have very high ISO capability allowing you to shoot in conditions that will have you putting other cameras away. The fast...

Definitely a Series 3, hood hinges, plastic dash, windshield washer, door hinges and plastic grille are all indicators. No
