I had a '77 with the 401 V8. Best snow vehicle I've had. My LR4 comes close but is too heavy. The Cherokee was insanely good. You'll have plenty of fun, and lucky you, you live in a state without salt so you'll actually be able to enjoy your Cherokee in this role for years to come.

Tempting, but it's in Virginia (I'm in Salt Lake) and show me a front facing car seat in the middle without that bulging headrest pushing it off the seat back and somehow convince my kid not to kick the crap out of the center console, and perhaps I'd consider. @pherplexed Please keep the posts...

So on the one hand I'm sorry for you not yet selling your L322 to help with your business investment as someone who started their own gig 7 years ago and it was totally worth it. On the other hand, it's great to see your L322 still out and about goofing off and having fun with friends because...

That is one of the things that I love about Japanese design in general. They're very good about standardization and making sure things can be serviced with interchangeable parts whenever possible. I didn't realize that was the case, but I'm not surprised. It seems right in line with the work...

The Range Rover is remarkably capable and comfortable. It also has larger fuel tank 27.7 gallons as I recall which gives it much better range than my LR4. Good to see someone using it to its full capability. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I've always thought it would be an...

Well, after I sat down and got a good cry out of the way, I'd think about the rest of the vehicle, what condition everything is in, how long I intended to keep it, and what trips I intended in the future and with whom. If it were just me, I'd probably get the head gaskets done and realize I'd...

I watched that last night and was actually going to post it as well. I thought it was as close to an objective evaluation as I have seen. Taking emotion out of it, which seems to be nearly impossible for most people when it comes to old vs. new Defender, there is no doubt that with appropriate...

Just finished up an 800 mile trip through Utah canyon country with the family. Very satisfied with the Land Rover's performance and comfort on the trip. The Colorado Teardrop trailer is proving to fit our needs nicely. I need to start a thread on the LR4 and trailer. I've certainly learned a...

I have a Renogy 100 W suitcase and it has not been a problem for me, but I have no confidence in any remedy from Renogy if it had been defective. Generally speaking, if you've got a panel and it's lasted for a year, then it is likely to age and eventually be at the end of usable life from wear...

I may have missed it as I skipped around in the video, but what is the total vehicle weight with full tanks of fuel and water? Overall, I really like the variety of Gladiator builds I see and appreciate seeing this one set up for family camping.

Of course they're wracking up huge losses. They're not delivering vehicles yet. It takes a lot of upfront capital to start a car company, which is why this is Jim Ratcliffe's project and not mine. If the costs get towards $100k USD, you'll never see these actually in the wild. It will become...

Now that you mention it, mine was very comfortable on smooth pavement kind of like riding in Grandma's old Buick. Corrugations though, not so much. I loved those seats. If they came with a decent headrest, they'd have been perfect. Kind of like sitting in a lounge chair, except mine I found...

Just to follow up, got a Battle Born battery and Victron smart shunt and charge controller. I tested the Battle Born with all of my chargers including the Renogy charge controller, and guess what? They all worked and the battery charged just fine. That didn't stop Renogy from telling me my...

I'm impressed with the split muffler. I'm surprised I never managed something like that. As for the hp increase with the HEI, that's what consistently running on all 8 cylinders will do for you. I forgot about that sheetmetal drum sound from the roof. Once when a headliner came down I looked...

There are no firm dates at this time. From their website they say full pricing and orders open early 2023, so I guess that depends on your definition of "early." Deliveries maybe late 2023? Realistically, I don't expect to see these in the US or Canada before 2024, but that's just my opinion...

By "hurt" they likely mean that it will wear out more quickly. Look up the Google reviews of Renogy before you buy something from them and not the product reviews on their own website which they can control. My experience with Renogy is that it is cheap for a reason. It's a roll of the dice...

I spoke with my credit card company and they said that the fact that Renogy charged me for the battery on June 4 and didn't ship it until June 14 when I inquired with Renogy about why it hadn't been shipped was a red flag for them as well. They said they'd dispute the initial purchase since...

So I bought a 100 Ah LiFEPO4 battery from Renogy in June along with a 20 amp Renogy Rover MPPT charger and 100 W suitcase solar panel. I immediately used it for all for a week in mid July with my new teardrop trailer and everything worked reasonably well as it should. Then I came home...

I'll definitely let you know if I still have them come Thanksgiving.

I love the old series Rovers. Between this and your Cherokee Chief, one of my other favorite vehicles ever, I'm getting really jealous.
