    Overhead storage

    I use an ABS pipe for my tent poles and wrap them with a piece of cloth...no rattle. I put the glued receiver and threaded caps on each end. Already had the Front Runner awning brackets to attach the pipe to.

    OOPs.!

    It is still beyond me why LR puts sensitive equipment under the seats down low where they are more at risk.

    OOPs.!

    Tide comes in twice in 24 hour period, good he didn't do this at night when no one could see him and come to his aid. Corrosion control is uppermost about now.

    Solar on top of RTT?

    I would try using the type of clear plastic that is used for convertible roofs and sewing it into a fabric frame that can be attached with velcro or sewn to the rain fly and with seam sealer to have an adequate 'envelope' for flexible solar panels. Several companies make them and are available...

    LR3 Transfer Case front Output Shaft

    I have helped do the rear diff and I hear the front is easier...I sure hope so. It was a real pain. Not sure about the transfer case. Good luck.

    LR4: anyone fitting 255/70/18?

    Just had 265/65/18 mounted on new steel rims from Terafirma (through Atlantic British) to replace the 255/55/19 tires on stock LR3 (2007) rims. Looks quite different and rides nice, no appreciable road noise and nothing is rubbing. Ride height is OK but now have to put it in access height to get...

    Magna flow on an 07 LR3

    Considering installing a Magnaflow exhaust system on my 07 LR. Any words of wisdom of things to beware of before I order this system? I have a random backfire and I cannot diagnose the problem. It may be one of the cats, not sure. Thinking a flow thru system may eliminate the issue but don't...

    A 2017 Desert Renewal

    It appears that a permit might/is required to make a professional movie but not you or I taking pictures of cacti, birds or flowers. A group I was with turned in young folks (twenty something) for chopping down trees in a NP for their green firewood gathering and disturbing other campers at 2...

    Custom water tanks?

    Land Rovers are configured to fit the spare in that space...it is round. It is not a cross over SUV or a truck framed vehicle. If the space were rectangular it would be a simple task.

    Need recommendation for camp kitchen utensil set

    Decide what you need and go to a thrift store and get the utensils and a plastic box to put them in. Spending tons of money to outfit a 'kitchen' that is used sparingly is insane. ...and yes I am dedicated to Overlanding, been doing it for 30 years but not stuffy about it.

    Can I please get some feedback on my wiring layout?

    I use a second (integrated into the system through a battery isolator/charger) battery and a Blue Sea fused box to take all my aux items from. That way I can have the ARB on all the time and each additional item is fused and separately switched.

    Custom water tanks?

    We have decided to use water bricks. At $18 each, holding 3.5 gal and portable they weigh less than a full Scepter can and fit behind the seats in the LR just right. Installing a permanent tank in the vehicle does not work for me. Only way I would want a permanent tank is if I could put a round...

    Non-touristy quick dry clothing

    Did find some quick drying briefs, by Adidas available at Penny's, also on Amazon for a few dollars less. Have tested them at home and usually dry within 6 hours or less, so overnight would be ideal...

    Non-touristy quick dry clothing

    Got my REI dividend and went to the store for some Marmot 'rain pants' for my upcoming trip to Norway. I will be with a group of other American tourists so 'standing out' isn't my issue. Got the pants for a bit of drizzle protection and to help the other pants drier. They fold up small and are...
