    Won an M1101!

    I won an M1101 from Govliquidation.com last week and am looking forward to bringing her home. Have read up on a number of threads about these trailers. Ideally, I was looking for a smaller trailer but we will see how she tows and acts when I pick her up. The price for a decent m416 is ridiculous...

    LR3 Third Row Conversion

    We bought our 2006 LR3 last year and it had some nice upgrades (Sasquatch rods [it was Sasquatch's truck], ARB front bumper, Superwinch, rack, etc,) and was well maintained. One option we wanted was 7 seats since we have 3 kids and having an extra seat or two if very helpful when touting kids...

    P38 Swingout and rear diff guard

    Completed some recent modifications on my P38 Range Rover. A few months ago, a buddy and I bought an overheated P38 with the full RockRover bumper/slider package. My buddy installed the front bumper and winch and I took the rear bumper. He then made a custom swing-out for my 33 inch spare very...

    P38 Trail Bumpers

    My buddy and I came across a '98 P38 that had overheated but was kitted with the RockRover bumpers and sliders. We trailered it home and swapped over the front bumper and winch. He spent some time getting things lined up, wired up the winch it works great. For my P38, the rear bumper needed a...

    Speed Shovel

    I am looking at buying a new shovel and came across this 'Speed shovel'. Comes in two sizes and looks to be light since it is aluminum. Its a bit pricey though. Anyone have experience with it? http://www.speedshovel.com/SpeedShovel-with-Mounting-System/dp/B006BRCMNY

    P38 on 33s

    After blowing out one tire and a sidewall puncture in another on my trip to Death Valley last week, I got some new tires today for my 2001 P38 Range Rover. America's Tire provided awesome service by giving me credit for the blown tires even though I bought them 3 years ago. I went up a few...

    Range Rover P38 12v Accessory plug and Blue Sea fusebox install

    I finally decided to do a proper installation and rewire of the rear accessory socket and add a few others. I did an easy re-wire a few years ago to get full time power to the 12v accessory plug in the rear of my P38. Unfortunately, the factory wiring is just not robust enough to run the ARB...

    P38 Doetsch Tech Shocks - 2 Inches More Travel

    I have recently converted my 2001 P38 Range Rover to coils (I love EAS but not practical for my offroading rig). I temporarily put on a used Arnott kit with my OEM shocks. Overall, the ride is quite pleasant but not as good as EAS. I am planning a 2+ inch lift over offroad height, what some...

    Stainless steel cooler

    I was at Costco (Sacramento, CA) the other day and came across an Igloo stainless steel cooler for around $80. Sounds like a pretty good deal for a stainless steel model. I have my ARB 50qt for the truck, but am looking to buy this as a second cooler or to take to the beach/etc. It looks very...

    P38 Factory Winch Install Warn XD9000 CE

    I bought a factory P38 winch tray and Warn XD9000 CE winch from a guy selling his P38 on craigslist a few weeks ago. I finally got around to installing it this weekend and of course, it took me much longer than expected. I also ran into a few differences from the factory instructions. The most...

    LR2 questions

    Now, I know most people wouldn't consider an LR2 the ultimate overlanding vehicle, but that is not why I am posting this thread. My father is looking at purchasing one and I haven't found much about overall reliability and if folks like the car. I own a 2001 P38 Range Rover, so I know all about...

    Moab with two P38s and a DiscoII

    A few pics from our trip to Moab last week. We had two P38s and one DiscoII doing Beef Basin, Bobby's Hole and Elephant Hill along with a more scenic tour of Arches NP. Four days of offroading and a total of 1950 miles driving. Not a hiccup out of any of the trucks. The P38 is a great offroad...

    P38 Custom Aluminum Radiator

    I finally received and installed my custom aluminum radiator after a few set backs. I won't bore you with the details, but the good news, is that it finally is in the truck. I will be filling it up tomorrow morning with coolant and firing her up. It is a work of art with very nice welding all...

    Range Rover storage and slider for fridge

    I posted this up in the storage section as well, but thought I would put it the Rover forum. I have a 2001 Range Rover and spent the last weekend building out the unit in wood and then covered it in outdoor carpet this week. I opted for a large storage area for bins, rather than drawers. I...
