    These trucks seem to have a mind of their own...:Wow1: (This photo was not "photoshopped" or altered in any way.) A few of the LEDs are going out on the climate control (HEVAC) display. It is a quick fix as the ribbon usually comes a bit loose. Common on Rovers, Audis, BMWs, VWs... If it...

    RR P38 12V Accessory plug rewire

    2001 Range Rover SE 4.6L The Range Rover P38 has a 12v accessory plug in the right rear of the truck from 2000-2002. Unfortunately, it is wired into the ignition so it only works when the ignition is on. Since I want to use this socket to run my ARB fridge/freezer, I need it to be 'live' all...

    Yosemite National Park In June, we visited Yosemite with our three little ones. Taking a family of three children ages 3 months to 3 years can be challenging. I was hoping that the flows would still be high giving good run-off for the waterfalls. If you get the chance, I would recommend a...

    I just picked up an SD rack last week for the Range Rover. I was surfing craigslist and found a guy selling a 1998 HSE with an SD rack on it. I called him up and asked if he would sell the rack separately. I offered him $400 and he took it! He had no idea what the rack was and actually didn't...

    So I am looking at purchasing a freezer/fridge in the next month. I have read a bunch of posts here ARB vs Engel vs Waeco vs Edgestar/ATC. The ATC is now $500 so I will probably pay the $150 premium. And I like the idea of established, trail-tested brands, lower draw and supporting ExPo...

    ARB MT35 fridge - should I buy?

    I saw a used ARB MT35-AL fridge for sale asking $450. The owners had it on their sailboat and don't know how old it is.
