Well there is no win the RCMP are actively removing the Canadian Law Comments in FRT, to turn rifles into Ar-15 variants because they say so. @billiebob There are at least 10 these occurrences, here is the Stag-10 as an example look at the dates. Regardless of your attitude about firearms you...

@Landy-Lee North America so 4.0 or 4.6 Liter V8 unless it is very old then it could be the 3.9 There are a few "unicorn" TDI's around but you can count them on 1 hand in most area's. My only concern would be the misfires, not a lot of causes but they do show up with head gasket issues

@Christian P. my apologies, I let my frustration override my usual common sense.

I normally stay quiet on these issues on line but this is a blatant attempt to get votes and nothing more. but as @billiebob you seem to unaware of exactly what is going on 1500 models of firearms were banned for no reason other than how they look, that represents over 100,000 to 200,000...

I feel your pain, I went through the same thing with my Discovery II. Front Runner load bars (gutter mount) and they will not give a load rating beyond around 220lbs dynamic, but it might be less according to them. I run solo so just me and the tent, I am getting a light weight tent 100 or...

Logs work, and seeing your in my general area there is generally enough material to create a temp bridge. I have found the clean up after takes more time, by the time you pull the material you put in and clear up the dirt that enviably goes in. But are you talking cross ditches or decommission...

I do not know about Jeep specifically but most vehicle seem to be in the 160lbs range for dynamic loading and about 2 to 3 times static. But Mopar should be able to tell you, crossbars without a load rating are pretty useless. Checked a few after market sites about 150 -160 but they do not...

As to a Discovery II they are old, you are buying a 16+ year old vehicle of unknown service history. Things that can go wrong : Head gaskets - Aluminum engine running too warm due to emissions requirements. Any big overheat will likely warp the heads to the point of head gasket failure...

Your dash gauge will never move past normal until you are actually overheating - most "modern vehicles" are like that. If I follow correctly you changed the housing and thermostat, I would suspect the thermostat. D2 guys have run into this a lot in the last year units sold as 180F actually...

No packing guns in national or provincial parks - it needs to stay locked up. As to bears in general, in BC. They are not really that much of a threat, your biggest issue will be human habituated garbage/camp ground bears. These are not generally an issue in big provincial/national camp...

Very little or nothing, but I am alone so it is easier. I would suggest you limit the weight and height of anything you put up there. Start pretty simple, when I put stuff on the roof it is stuff I do not expect to use : Spare parts Emergency food box (stuff I would need in the event the...

Great trip report. I have gone back through that almost every year in the last 7 myself, it is a beautiful area to travel with huge number of routes and almost always something new to see.

Out with the Roverlanders of BC end of December

I looked at both an LR3 and D2, and ended up with a D2. It had 240000 Km on it and was reasonably well looked after. The biggest issue is the engine, the same basic engine as a D1/RRC but bored out and set to run hot for emissions. It is honestly my only concern, everything else has been...

I would add the below, although it may be self evident useful, for a variety of tasks Which why I have a short barreled pump shotgun works for predator defense, as well if need be hunting just by changing ammo. It is good multi purpose tool. I understand the whole handgun thing but outside...

@DieselRanger good to know about the tree cover

Will just add a comment to PLB's call and confirm they will in fact work where you travel and what limitations there maybe. In my discussions with Garmin, there a lot of places in the Pacific Northwest they could be marginal, deep heavily wooded valleys that limit the sky view and usability...

That is thick ice, must been a lot of work to break it down so you could get free.

Heading west along the Fraser River, towards the Big Bar ferry

@MrWiggles, tires if you are in the Rockies or the Pacific Northwest as noted by @mpinco there can be a lot of sharp rock. You want some sidewall height and a good solid tire. I run Cooper St Maxx load range E on my Discovery currently, and on an R50 Pathfinder previously. I have not holed a...
