I pretty much use NGK's in everything - they've worked best in all of my vehicles from Rovers (those that use plugs) to Porsches and everything in between. Back in 1972 my two stroke motorcycle was supplied new with a Champion plug plus a spare in the toolkit under the seat and I managed to foul...

Definitely 1966 or before - windshield motors on the windshield and push button starter. I agree with the 1964-66 guess but it could be a 1962-63. Not much difference between the years except for the suffix on the transmission which will tell you first gear ratio. Looks like a lot of work but...

I have a Paha Que and it is a pain to set up - practice might make it easier since I've only used it three or four times. It is spacious and stable once up though. The Outback sets up quickly but is a bit smaller inside. Packing it up takes a bit of practice - quite entertaining to watch...

Range Rovers actually have a little more clearance in the rear wheel well than Discoverys so the 215/85 will work great. I used to run 245/75R16 tires on my RRC with a 1-1/2" lift with no clearance issues.

I use smugmug and it's great - see some of my galleries here: http://solaros1.smugmug.com/Land-Rover-Events You can use this coupon code to get a $5 discount: sLLlYcdNcsg8Q Smugmug is vastly superior to photobucket especially if you're shooting high resolution pictures. Plus it helps...

Another thing to consider is that keeping it in the truck cab is a better idea in bear country.

Washer tub is an amazing heat source - just look at how far back everyone is standing from it- and it was pretty cold!

I agree with Michael - most of my Speed Graphics sold for around $200-$250 in functioning condition. I did have one that was really nice with a great lens on it but it went for only around $400. There's a local used camera store (Wings Camera) that sells your old equipment on commission. He gets...

Second the Speed Graphic idea (although I've sold all of mine) - at one time had about six of the things - great camera.

4 distinct generations of cameras At the front - my grandfather's early 1950's Minolta Super A - used by him, my father and myself. On the left my Dad's pride and joy - his Hasselblad from the 1960's. In the center the Canon F-1 I carried for 25 years and on the right the current lump - a Canon...

Another reason to support smugmug is that Baldy also runs the www.advrider.com website as well as www.DGRIN.com - plus I like the way that smugmug works (much, much better than photobucket) - by subscribing to smugmug you help support those other websites. If you usubscribe using one of the...

I just bought a Canon 9000F flatbed scanner from B&H Photo - $174 with free shipping. Much better than my previous Hewlett Packard flatbed and it scans slides at 9600dpi. All flatbed scanners are somewhat slow when scanning film or negatives but this one does a good job (and a great job on...

Gabriel - just a little over a year old carrying his blanket and his raccoon

Remember - this was a $600 Buick and we had planned all along to fly back home - the Buick would never have survived the trip home with all of the mechanical issues it was developing after several thousand miles of less than optimal roads. We had originally planned to see if we could sell the...

With no other alternative we locked up the car, went back to the ford and waded across, and hiked the final mile to the beach. There we found a few old deserted fishing shacks, a beautiful remote beach, and no sign whatsoever of the supposed motel. With a complete lack of other options we hiked...

After driving past Lake Nicaragua (where fresh water sharks live - no swimming for us) crossing into Costa Rica was a pure joy. Instead of being greeted by machine gun toting soldiers and the inevitable mordida we were welcomed by an efficient, pleasant representative of the Costa Rican...

After Guatemala border crossings got more interesting (and expensive) - El Salvador struck us as being the most impoverished country we traveled through. At the border with Honduras we saw evidence of the "1969 Soccer War" from five years earlier when the two neighboring countries started...

I think it was a 1966 model (could have been a '65) - I remember Dad paid about $600 for it. Most of the trouble started soon after we left Atlanta - mid-afternoon somewhere in Mississippi we blew a radiator hose due to a faulty water pump and the car overheated. We limped the car overnight to...

Buick Electra 225 that is.... Found this old slide from 1974 of the Buick 225 Electra we drove to Panama in 1974 for my Dad’s thirty year high school reunion ( Class of 1944 Balboa High School, Panama Canal Zone) This was in northern Nicaragua in front of a field of the biggest cotton...

One of my friends just bought this off craigslist - he says they are are around $3600 new - he's got about $1500 in it. Its a pretty nice rig - check out Quicksilver campers on the net. You can also drop it into a standard 4 x 8 utility trailer too.
