Just to give those who are not in this part of the world an idea of the size of some these trucks, my Discovery looks a bit tiny next to that. They go down that same tiny FSR as every one else.

@billiebob I will acknowledge I do not know how exactly it all integrates as it is a typical bureaucratic mess. As it turns out we are both wrong or partly right: FSR's are Provincial and managed by the province with maintenance priority to remote communities Resource roads are industry...

@Bill Ruttan they moved everything to RR 1, etc and some of the signs do not show the actual freq. I carry a list but there has been a lot of stupid all round as far a road use, signage and radio frequencies go. But when I transmit to on a coming logging truck that I am pulled over between...

In BC at least it is a bit of a mess, technically non deactivated FSR's are part of the provincial highway & road system. The problem is they are largely unpoliced and unmaintained, although the resource companies do maintain them when they are actively doing resource extraction, also the...

@Storz Cascadia Vehicle Tents Mounting Hardware - Partial set (for one rail) (cascadiatents.com) says they are in stock

@craig333 As far as I know yes paid by the load, could be wrong but hat was my understanding. And I get your point on that they rush from job to job - still they hit my Discovery or worse a jeep/quad we are not likely to walk away.

I listen and the loggers are never an issue, they always call. Dump trucks on the other hand should be flat out banned or require a pilot vehicle they never call, drive in the middle of the road and will run you off the road. It has happened twice so far on straights, luckily both times with...

I have a D2, but we have several L3's and one regular LR4 that come out. Neither has had any issues, the one LR3 is largely stock other than tires, the LR4 is built bumper, roof rack etc. From what I have seen there is not much to difference in capability, and they both trundle along with a...

I have not much to say other than people from other parts of the world literally have no idea of the distances and number of truly isolated area's in North America, in reference to the Germans. Even many North American's from large urban centers often have no idea how fast cell coverage...

Not surprised you had issues in the snow, depending on the temp and kind snow I would expect that to happen. They are plastic and that tends to move well on snow that is dry, cold and light. Heavier wet snow will tend "grab" better making it more likely to give you the traction you want.

@dstock pretty much nailed it if you have hi humidity you will want to keep it. In BC myself, other than a few months in the summer I got a bit of moisture just too much wet to avoid it. The anti condensation mat made all the difference no condensation any more. But I do sleep with the roof...

@Rachel821 Odd feelings about places just happen, at the risk of great laughter directed at me :). I very clearly remember a beautiful sunlit clearing, that just for lack better words creeped me out in a big way. Enough so that I avoided it on my return trip, it has always stuck with me...

@AbleGuy reading about the "Hiway of Tears" and understanding all the underlying factors would require reading through 7 different RCMP investigations, countless committee hearings that have taken place over nearly 3 decades. But to put it in perspective the low count is 18 since the 1970's...

I think the common thread here is population, the more people the more likely to have an issue. Simple example Harrison lake here in BC it beautiful good forest service roads up both sides and plentiful camping both in camp sites and just of the side of the side road. But I completely avoid it...

@Marine_Diesel You have lots to start with here, and while stuff happens if you keep your maintenance up and do a good pre-trip inspections you should be fine in most cases. Things break but you can never cover every eventuality, but try checking a few of the LR4 enthusiast boards for more...

A bit of humor for the thread D2 spares loaded - transmission is in front of the engine.

Dry cedar kindling from cheap wedges, a bit of paper, water proof matches in a zip lock to keep it all dry. A good splitting axe helps too, to split stuff down to "dry" insides Keep it under cover while it gets going and you are fine

Brake light switch & bulbs for certain it is a small cheap part that can cause weird stuff to happen. Belts always And from practical experience driving with LR4's good A/T tires, and a full sized spare. We had one fellow blow 2 full sized spares and 2 idiot spares, there was a lot to tire...

Wrong question, what is the roof loading of your jeep, then the rest follows. The rack loading only matter if your roof can take i. Most vehicles have about 100 to 160 dynamic load. The load includes your rack, tent any anything else you put up there, static is "usually" 2 to 3 times dynamic.

Thanks for help I think I have this sorted out A VSR isolator to deal with the charging and protecting the main A 150 Amp breaker to protect the main And the disconnects and I should be good I have a old UPS battery I can use as test battery for the setup
