It has to be a two-door series truck - either 88" or 109" - there is a PTO output that goes in the rear of the transfer case then the drive shaft for the PTO (obviously different lengths for the two wheelbases) and the rear gearbox that bolts to the rear cross member with the splined output...

Not many Series trucks were sold in the USA with the rear PTO - an exception was a bunch (maybe 250?) of 1967 Land Rover pickups sold to the State of Florida that were used for pulling 5' mower decks on the shoulders of highways. So to answer your question - yes they will pull a mower deck, bush...

Photobucket sucks - Smugmug rocks - plus you can get a $5 discount if you use this code sLLIYcdNcsg8Q in the coupon field. Smugmug is used by a lot of my friends who are professional photographers and the big file size is a great benefit. I've got over 10,400 photos in 55GB of files on...

Very nice - like the whole idea. If you have access to a biscuit joiner you might want to look at using those to join the pieces together - the make for a very strong joint that is virtually indestructible and quick to make.

I have a 12" long piece of webbing with a loop at each end and a caribiner that goes around a corner of my roof rack - the other end is usually tied off to a tree or someone else's vehicle using a web tie down strap - basically any fixed object that's around six feet tall or more. I have an old...

Put me on the list for two boxes - a friend of mine has some of these and they are just the right size for what I want. - JackW

Shortly after I bought the Defender - it came with the ARB bumper - about all I had added at this point was the lights and Warn winch Not too many exterior changes - alloys with mud terrains, Hannibal roof rack and awning, Maggiolina roof tent, rear tire carrier and rear bumperettes, home...

A friend of mine still has the Pentax Spotmatic he bought in 1970 and he's taken some great photographs with it - Pentax had some really good glass back then. Another friend of mine can sell every Spotmatic he can get his hands on to the local art school students - great camera to learn the...

A friend of mine whose girlfriend was very amply endowed had a close encounter with a June bug that came through his unscreened vent in his SIIA. The bug bounced off her upper chest and down into her low cut blouse where it proceeded to thrash around. Much screaming and bouncing around ensued...

Trees can be a real pain - we were up at Tellico a few years back and drove up a dead end trail to the top of a bald mountaintop for lunch. On the way back out we rounded a turn in the trail and saw this: It hadn't been there our on our way up the trail about two hours earlier. I got on the...

Canon G11 & G12 cameras have a flip out screen. I have an older Canon G5 with one and the feature does come in handy. The flip out screen feature was discontinued for the Canon G6 through G10 models but reinstated when the G11 came out 2-3 years ago. I use a G10 at work and its a remarkable...

This one.... I'm sorta liking the DC100 as a replacement for my Honda CRV - I'd keep the D-90 and Series trucks though....

A friend of mine has one of those - not too impressed with it. But the Cabela's Alaskan Guide tent is a great tent - absolutely waterproof. I've got an older version of the 4 person Eureka Tetragon tent that I've been very happy with - good performance in downpours and easy to set up.

My Rover set up at Uwharrie this past weekend - Tyrone's Conqueror trailer in the back ground

A few of the Solaros crowd are coming up on Thursday - unfortunately I have to work that day so I'll be heading out from Atlanta EARLY Friday morning so I'll be up there before noon. My truck is already packed except for clothes, camera and food so I'm about 95% ready to go. Hope to be on the...

using a tripod with a bubble level on a ball head is nice - here's one I shot two weeks ago from the roof rack of my Land Rover on Buck Bald in Tennessee but you can shoot hand held and get good results as well. I stitched these together in photoshop. Scott Kelby teaches his students...
