    LOL on the comment of medium priced 4x4 and I hope that was not in the G-Wagon comments cuz they sell for $84k AUS and only the commercial and mil-spec versions are priced differently. G-Wagons in a commercial spec don't compare to anything like they used to and mostly only are alive due to...

    Drug Dealer?

    You missed the point brotatochip; I agreed with you on constant but since you are so inclined, take a seat cuz school is in session! Your example is from an airbag suspension that is not changing pressure for ride quality through electronics; your example, Captain Obvious, is that of a very...

    Drug Dealer?

    He said rods "AND" off-road height. Your statement would be correct if it was rods at NORMAL; which means constant pressure with increased volume because the EAS ECU believes the bags are in normal position and "daily driving mode" at normal height due to the rods positioning the height sensors...

    Drug Dealer?

    Could be; much higher bag pressures in off-road height. Thanks for sharing and best wishes on the future with the employment; hope we are all coming out of this okay in the end.

    Not to mention, more and more numbers of kids do not learn to drive these days which makes it more and more likely that a young adult either can't drive manual, can't drive at all, or doesn't choose/watnt to drive for a variety of reasons; this is surely not specific to the US and we all know...

    Just me, but I would stick to a 33-34" or equivalent as they tend to be a tad less or more to actual diameter. I would steer clear of the 35" as you start to get into wider patch, wheel scrub issues, and now lift. I really do not believe 35" is necessary for the slight gains in performance in...

    Are Alu-Box bear proof ?

    Those were awesome; thanks for sharing. I have the links saved now. Bear Jam; damn that could have went south really quickly. Those people were lucky it was "that" bear cuz getting that many opportunities like that with a mamma bear in distress has to be a world record! :oops:

    I'm cold! You can help!

    Another option is to use Nalgene bottles with hot water in them and toss them in your bag; between the bottle and your body heat, they stay warm for hours. You gotta use that Jet-Boil for all the right reasons.....lol

    I love the lift strap over anything else and feel it is one of the, if the, most safe operation of the Hi-Lift. I have a 4x10 wood beam cutoff (about 18" long I think) I use in the back of the truck for a jack platform in soft areas at times and for a jack-stand in soft areas as it provides...

    COVID survivor, antibody positive and donating plasma like giving out candy at Halloween. On that note, I'm still staying physical distant and doing my own thing. Was out this weekend in the hills by myself and didn't see a soul outside of aircraft flying over.

    New Defender News

    What irony; we are talking about the G-Wagon being a staple of reliability like so many think it is and it's not. Nobody has the reliability numbers for any of these vehicles related to off-road; including yourself. I surely was not talking about the new Defender because that remains to be...

    @REDROVER He can use the tire lift hook which I actually love and is one of my go-to choices for dig-outs and I prefer it for tire changes. It forces me to put my frame block under the truck and not rely on the Hi-Lift to support the vehicle. Might be overkill but for me; when the Hi-Lift...

    Are Alu-Box bear proof ?

    Yeah, I'm all about it; just mean seeing animals in captivity period but yes, I surely understand why these bubbas are serving time and getting to have some playtime with best choices. Hence why I am all about having the right gear and the support of those who enforce these laws.

    Just bought my SP Campfire Kit on the 25% REI Sale.....pretty stoked and figured this is the best time to get it since I already used my dividend before quarantine..hahaha

    Give it to me straight

    Don't forget that ECU's have memory and they work off trends; if a new sensor is replaced, it can very well trip the same code over a serious of cycles down the road. The ECU flash resets the memory so the ECU can now "trend" the current configuration of the vehicle/sensors. Anytime I do...

    LR3 Transmission service and Leak....

    @DVD thanks for sharing the experience you had and it shows that you were willing to tackle something that the vast majority of people will not; don't sell yourself short and way to find innovative ways to get the job done tight and right! I too read the 3mm thing and then decided I was going...

    I have quite a bit; I'll even say a lot of experience with the G-Wagon with the Aus Defense Force. We used the old Defender 6x6 to tow them out off the ranges on the Big Island Hawaii daily. The New G-Wagon spent the vast majority of their days on our deployment in limp mode at 20mph max until...

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    Awesome news; yeah sad to see it go but hope is Defender treats him just as good. I love the D4 but maybe a little too pretty inside for what I use it for......I'd feel pretty guilty ripping that interior our like I did in my LR3....lol

    @REDROVER any idea if he's had to do the timing chain tensioners yet?
