A friend of mine has a first edition copy of the original Vehicle Dependent Expedition Guide by Tom Sheppard that he doesn't need anymore so he's planning on selling it. I already have a copy or I'd be trying to get it away from him myself. Mark was a finalist in the selection process for the...

I bought it off Ebay for around $60 about a year ago...it's a sixteen plate unit about 8" x 3" x 2".

I finished up my pump box this evening - it's a Shurflo 2.4 gal/min unit with a filter and all stainless pipe in a Pelican 1400 case. I've got a weatherproof power port and a waterproof toggle switch incorporated in the case I'm working out how I want to support the shower head - I'm mocking up...

Lack of space in the engine compartment was one reason - I have an onboard air compressor already mounted under the passenger seat and dual batteries under the drivers seat. I was running out of places where I could mount the pump and not have it where it could be submerged in a mud puddle...

Here's a preliminary look at my set-up: Flat plate style heat exchanger mounted under the hood and plumbed into the heater lines. Pump and filter built into a Pelican 1400 case with quick disconnect couplings for the water lines - note I'll have both hot and cold water output. I'll have a...

I've been using Tenba photo bags for the last thirty years - they're really well made and offer good protection. I think I own about five of them in different sizes depending on how much stuff I want to lug around. If I'm traveling in my truck I generally use one of the three or four Pelican...

Zorro - Tired after celebrating his 13th birthday:

One of the most fun bikes I've ever owned was my old Mick Andrews Replica Ossa 250 Plonker - wish I'd never sold it. You can entertain yourself for hours on a trials bike in your back yard. I'd suggest getting one of the older machines that is eligible for vintage trials events - the new stuff...

Dustproof is more of a neccessity - I always pack my stuff up clean and dry and I hate having to wash it before you cook the next meal.

Canon A-series cameras are nice because they take standard AA batteries and record some pretty good images. One of the reasons I like Canon over some of the other brands is the shutter lag is minimized (time to actually take the picture after you press the magic button) - more like a film...

I've got a G5 and a Canon 20D - I use the G5 very regularly and its a great camera just the ticket when I don't want to lug around the SLR but still want most of the capability. I'd recommend the G9. Canon software is very good as well. My sister has a Canon S1 that's pretty nice and some of...

I'm planning to enclose my pump and showerhead in a watertight case like a Pelican with inlet and outlet ports that will be fitted with quick disconnects. I'll have the flat plate heat exchanger under the hood of my Land Rover plumbed into the heater hoses and into some quick disconnect fittings...

Its a 1967 to 71 truck - 1966 Land Rovers had the windshield wiper motors on the windshield. Best guess is that its a 67 with later model fenders but it could be a 69-71 that's had the earlier grill panel installed. If its got power brakes its probably the latter. Still very much a project...

That is just way too cool - Series I Land Rover with fantastic patina Just think of the places its been and the stories it could tell...

You might also want to look at the Centri Pre-cleaners - they are aluminum and stainless construction. I have a 3" diameter Centri on my truck.

Also try gently cleaning out the junk from under the lip of the seal with some kind of thin plastic scraper. Sometimes the leaks are caused by trash that gets under the seal and removing it will slow it down.

I had to swap out the return lines between the injectors in order to run B100. Viton tubing is needed to resist the solvent in the biodiesel - I got mine from Mcmaster Carr. It's pretty small - somewhere in the 3mm - 4mm range and the return lines are about 4" - 5" long each so you only need two...

Where's the link to your gallery? Chile is one of the places I've always wanted to visit... Looking forward to seeing some posts of your travels.

I've seen a lot of failures with tubing connections too - I've used Swagelock Stainless fittings with great success (both on the robots at work and on my Defender 90 on-board air system). Check them out at www.swagelock.com

The 1991 Range Rover Hunter edition was a decontented model for the US market that meets all of you requirements except the crank windows one. The power windows proved to be more relaiable than the crank up ones (except for the cheap window switches) so that shouldn't be an issue. The Hunter...
