tree strap for sure. I've only used my snatch block about five times in ten years but every time its been indispensable. Mostly we use it to change the direction of pull like this example from 2006 at Tellico. We'd gone up a dead end trail to the top of a mountain - on the way back down we came...

https://solaros1.smugmug.com/My-Cars/Land-Rovers/i-gBj6LVJ/A Actually two different trees - the first one fell directly between the 109 and the fiberglass camper - it just barely scuffed the back corner of the 109 and didn't touch the trailer - no damage. The second tree fell and hit the front...

No - this is Eeyore.... He's kinda slow, sorta ragged looking and smells bad https://solaros1.smugmug.com/My-Cars/Land-Rovers/i-Db8Xr7t/A

Of course I still have a Rover - 4 to be exact and none of them are for sale.

Any one of my lenses cost more than the Pelican case that I use to carry two bodies, 6 lenses, flash , spare batteries and charger, and a light meter, plus a few accessories. I've been using Pelicans for over twenty years to protect my gear - it doesn't bother me at all to spend $200 to protect...

When your six passengers unexpectedly bail out of an 88" open Land Rover on a side hill you're approaching the tip over point - especially when you are counting on the 4 of them on the uphill side to provide a comfortable amount of ballast.... Damn cowards....

More possibility of electrical gremlins with the RR - but we all know that Land Rover electrical systems are dead nuts reliable so just go ahead and buy the one your wife likes...

Natural backgrounds are the best.

Everyone who's been there wants to know how I got that shot without a crowd of people on the steps. They had just opened the street along the river after some heavy flooding and the day was sort of crappy. There was one person sitting on the steps off to the left but I pulled up in a no parking...

Rookies - I've owned my 2007 for a little over two years now. You won't regret it. It sure is nice having 300 HP under the hood after all those years of the Rover V-8 in Range Rovers and Discoverys. The day I picked it up... with a nice little 12 hour drive home to get acquainted

CV joint replacing is easy if you catch it in time - don't wait for it to go from clicking to bang... Axles are fully floating in Range Rover Classics, D-1's and Defenders so all you have to do is remove the calipers, the hubs and the stub axles and you can slide the front axle out. The only...

If you can round up or borrow some basic camping gear this month you might want to check out the Overland Expo in Asheville over the first weekend of October. You'll get to see the whole world of what is available and there will be a special Land Rover camping area right near the front of the...

The new Ingenium 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engines are available in two hp ratings in the Jaguar - 161 HP and 177 HP - both in rear wheel drive configuration. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/jaguar/xe/91255/jaguar-xe-portfolio-diesel-2015-review...

Welcome to LR3 ownership - they are great vehicles. I have a 2007 HSE along with three other Land Rovers. The local Land Rover club is Solaros (Southern Land Rover Society) and we meet on the third Wednesday of each month at The Counter restaurant on Mansell Road in Roswell. Show up around...

Check out this one that Luke Miles from The Shop installed on a customer's 110. I'm not sure what brand it is - you'll have to contact Luke to find out.

I got a replacement case from Keytown2015 on Ebay for $13.99 - its very nice and he sends a detailed set of instructions on how to swap your circuit board over to the new case. It took about an hour to make the change. The case looks just like the factory stock one (and a lot better than the...

B&H and KEH for me too - I've bought thousands of dollars of equipment from these two without a single complaint. B&H has great prices on new stuff and KEH is the go-to place for most of my used equipment (although B&H is now selling used stuff as well). Since KEH is Atlanta based I can order...

I have a 35 qt Engel and it is sufficient for me on a four to five day solo camping trip - if my wife comes along we have to carry a supplemental conventional cooler and worry about ice. The 45 qt size (or 50 if ARB) has the same footprint as the 35 but its about six inches taller. If I had my...

That looks like some spectacular countryside - makes me wish I had made it to Portugal on one of my trips to Europe. There is one guy over here that regularly off roads his Freelander. They had a miserable reputation in the USA but we never got the diesel version which is supposed to be...
