Actually, you should be engaging it before you use the rear or front locks

cool. What did you guys do with the oil spills?

Just speaking for myself, but I ditched my hi lift because it was heavy and bulky...I get good results using a air cushion type lifter and a small hydraulic jack.

Very nice. I would be interested in hearing about the importation process....the who, what, where, and whens. Costs, etc?

Awesome

Passenger side. When deploying in a less than wild environment this puts the awning on the side of the vehicle that is away from the street... I can use it in more places this way.

For warm weather camping.....Army issue poncho liner. I often take two. Small, very light weight and nicely warm. Just keep them away from open flames!

First step...a good set of winter rated tires.....

Doesn't matter how good your rig is if you don't know how to drive it. Technology still can't fix stupid. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You have to remember to factor in the additional resistance you get from terrain (slope, etc), how deeply mired you are, etc....its not just the vehicle weight you are pulling...you have to overcome the situation as well.

And let's not forget that a winch is most effective the closer you get to a bare drum...it pays ( see what I did there! ) to use as much line as possible.

Still lots of Defenders in circulation...in Europe. LHD drive models are very popular in Germany (and elsewhere)

The exhaust thing is just stupid....add complexity to your vehicle to change how it sounds.... The G is such a nice vehicle..why do so many want to turn them into BLIN (G)s?

Going to publish a report? It sounds like a great trip. I have been up in Sweden a couple times, but haven't been to Norway yet...definitely on the list! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

good old fashioned US Army poncho liner...cannot beat them.

Nice report...thank you for sharing

Yes, that would make sense...and you are right about needing to modify it to be able to turn on and off. Seems that it turns on whenever you engage the locks....and it will blow seals.

It doesn't answer your questions, but it is a kind of neat aside point.... Did you know that UniMogs actually pump air into the diffs, etc to create a slight over pressure condition to keep water out during fording Ops.....

The brake chambers should have caging bolts. They insert into the back of the chamber and pull the diaphragm back to unlock the brakes...

Lowrance HDS-7 Gen3 with a Point-1 Baja unit. I just turn off the fishfider stuff....
