    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    Stop using that "track" that JLR used in Namibia. Because they put it on the map, planned it out, and said "hey, this looks legit, lets run loops on this thing further than any of vehicle test on the planet by any other OEM in the world so some guys on some forum can say it was fake". Oh...

    I grew up in small town farmland in Southeast Wisconsin and worked everyday on my uncle's dairy farm picking rocks, bailing hay, milking cows, birthing calves, etc.......hardest workers on the planet in my opinion no matter where they do it on the planet. My uncle's farm was by no means a...

    Are Alu-Box bear proof ?

    That was awesome! I mean not a fan of these animals being locked up so I won't get into that but at least they seem to have a hint of enjoyment in what they are doing. Could watch that stuff all day long; thanks for sharing!

    Are Alu-Box bear proof ?

    Followed the link and found the latest IGBC certified products and how the certification process works. AS stated, looks like it is by exact part number (SKU) for each product to get the certification from the manufacturer. IGBC Certification

    Are Alu-Box bear proof ?

    That my friend is exactly why I am ordering some right there. Even if a Ranger was to issue a ticket for a Zarges box because they didn't know, I am not going to argue with the Ranger other than to ask him to take photos and write my exact "storage box part number" on the ticket. I can google...

    Fact is, the ICE is on it's way out the door; whether we agree with it or not is none of our choices and that is for sure! Over the last 5-7 years, the vast majority of vehicles being built, regardless of use are jammed packed with ECU's and electronics from the engine control to the body...

    NestBox - LR3/4 Storage/Sleeping platform

    I have 2 x Exped Mediums that I purchased from MooseJaw during a sale a few weeks ago. Now, I will admit, sizing is not 100% ideal because my sleeping platform is up higher and this location does reduce some width for the two Expeds to sit perfectly. This is how I roll when I have two people...

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    Agreed, however, NO doubt, generally speaking, however, most vehicles that run in a higher end market have less profile branding. The fact is the branding on the new Defender and Old Defender are about identical. Point is that what we in the US are used to seeing are massive FORD, GM, DC...

    Are Alu-Box bear proof ?

    My thoughts exactly on why I am planning few design changes to incorporate a few BP boxes like Zarges; its the legal side I am concerned with because a bear wants into my Rover, he's coming in if he's dedicated enough. Not much going to stop a determined bear but ensuring we can get in and out...

    First aid kits, what is in yours?

    @taliv Nice write-up! Just like 3-Gunning; when it comes to med kits, you gotta sling what you bring and know how to use it.

    Lets talk about camp lights

    I have some solar twinkle lights and such too for the awning and campsite; nice moonlighting for sure. I do need to get some nice LED style lanterns though for hanging and primary camp lights.

    Lets talk about camp lights

    Very true; however it may be able to provide you a bit of safety lighting in certain aspects and places. For instance; out here in the desert areas and dunes, the more light the better at night so some a$$hole doesn't fly into your campsite at 100mph during the night cuz they are outdriving...

    Lets talk about camp lights

    Take a close look at that thing; it's legit a repurposed collapsable fishing pole. Pretty genius if you ask me......lol. Might be an idea to build your own our of a collapsable flag mount like we use in the desert. Not the same cheap price but probably a bit more durable and less likely to...

    Discovery 2 Vs GX470

    Personally think all vehicles went to the plastic/composites for cost, ease, and blah blah blah and to be honest OEMs make a ton more money on the return maintenance plan or continued revenue. I replaced all the coolant components around 75k due to a front end accident repair and made good...

    Discovery 2 Vs GX470

    There is a really nice D2 for sale here in SoCal I found on Offerup but I can't drop $13k on a D2 knowing that the head gaskets do not appear to have been done yet and that mean it hasn't been sleeved. I would love a D2 for everything about it except the issues you said above. No doubt any of...

    So true. The funny thing is when we took the LC from Nigeria to Ethiopia; the driver that normally drives the LC crashed the Prado and our only modern vehicle was sent out to the pasture. The LC are bulletproof (not literally in our case) and so easy to work on; especially the ability of these...

    No need to start bashing and making assumptions yourself man with blanket statements like that; we are better than that and I mean I hope all of us are or I'm on the wrong forum where we legit start bashing people's nations and cultural grounds over car talk. I think his point is that it is...
