    Used dslr questions

    KEH is good people - I have bought from them on numerous occasions and never been disappointed - their rating system is conservative - "excellent" to them is "like new" anywhere else. Most of my equipment has been bought used - the lone exception is my 24-70 F2.8 lens which is my most used...

    Eriba Puck - lightweight travel trailer

    I've been searching for an Eriba Puck to eventually do something like this with: Today I acquired a 1989 Puck that is in very nice shape: It's about 12' long and weighs around 700 lbs. - Queen size bed, sink, stove and A/C with a lot of storage - typical German efficiency. It's like a...

    Roof Rack

    The Hannibal rack on my D-90 has been outstanding - light, strong, quiet and very useful. There are other similar racks on the market (Patriot?) and you may be able to find a used one.

    RTT opening and closing with back issues?

    With a cordless drill and a special socket you can power a Maggiolina up and down easily. You still have to reach up over your head to tuck the tent in under the hard shell though. I haven't gotten this lazy yet but I have thought about it....

    Used Mt. St. Helens vs. Used Maggiolina Purchase opinions

    I love my Maggiolina - it would be hard to pass up the chance to get one for only a couple of hundred more. They make great tents.

    Does anyone recognize this tent?

    That's a great tent - I have one as well. The rain fly goes all the way down the sides to prevent sideways rain from entering the tent. Set-up and takedown is about 10 minutes and it's got a lot of room inside it - not too big for two people (I can pretty much fill it up with my stuff for...

    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    Cooper Zeon 285R60/18 tires on 10-spoke rims - no signs of rubbing and almost no road noise - BFG AT's don't work very well in mud and Georgia has plenty of red clay that turns the BFG's into slicks

    Some Series Advice

    I'm 6'0" and around 225 - I've evolved over the years to perfectly fit a Series truck (been driving them since 1971) - My legs are a bit short for my height and I'm perfectly comfortable behind the wheel - an inseam longer than about 32" may have an issue in an 88.

    No lift and no obvious rubbing so far (street driving) - they even clear in access mode - I've read that there may be one spot in the LF? wheel well where the plastic inner liner may rub at full lock but I haven't seen any yet.

    Mickey Thompson Baja STZ for an LR3

    I just installed some 285/60R18 Cooper Zeon tires yesterday - they look pretty good on the truck and are very quiet (new - we'll see how they do after a few miles)

    Some Series Advice

    My 1966 Series IIA 109 diesel wagon would max out at about 67 mph but was much more comfortable between 50 and 57 mph. I did balance the engine when I rebuilt it at about the 200,000 mile mark but it now has over 375,000 miles on it and was getting pretty tired and smoky when the gearbox self...

    Camp table - easy fit to your vehicles exterior

    I made a simple little table that hooks on the ladder of my roof rack and suspends from a rope run out to the far end of the board - sets up in seconds and is handy for making sandwiches on a trailside lunch break
