    EcoBoost for 2012 Ford Explorer

    Sounds like some confusion above on FWD- it stands for front, not four. Hence no T-case on that model...

    looking at a disco. Am i crazy?

    Try to establish if the miles were linear, ie gradual throughout it's life, or piled on and then sat. Rovers do not like to sit for extended periods and can result in a fairly expensive initial startup as it will begin leaking from places you never imagined... Otherwise, that is considered a...

    I have a used twice Oz RV-5 tent(new $1099), with Deluxe peaked side panels($329), and Deluxe front panel(($199) for sale. We are going to a tent trailer setup, and this becomes redundant. Absolutely like new, sets up in 30 seconds, and no exaggeration there!! See video here...

    Aluminess is awesome- had F&R on our Quigley, but not cheap either.

    Suburban-itis!

    I have been a die hard Rover guy for the last 15 years, but needed a bit more room, and wanted simple. I found a '83 2500 4x4 'burb w/ 45k miles, bought it, loved it, but the wife not so much. After selling, I missed it as did the kids, 4&6. So, I just found a replacement 2 owner '91 2500 4x4 w/...

    Need advice before buying first LR DI

    she looks tidy in the pics. Check levels for sure, and here in the States that truck is very close to the Holy Grail in LRs. It should be a 300 Tdi, and folks here spend big money to convert to this drivetrain. The Japanese trucks are usually well cared for, as some here import a few D90s from...

    full size rock sliders - weld in rockers vs frame mounted.

    While a bit lighter, though not much, the LR Discovery sliders are a two piece bent plate that sandwiches the rocker. These work extremely well, and bolt together through the rocker. Think two L pieces joined together making a U and overlapping the horizontal legs... Just an option to consider.

    What shall I do? ( in a pondering inner voice...)

    The petrol/diesel is a constant debate, especially on this site. Regardless of your decision, she is a great old workhorse, and a near perfect Expo build platform. I would suggest making the decision based on your comfort level. If you enjoy learning, that is a great simple diesel and will be a...

    DII Winch Bumper...options and opinions

    yes, mine is near or actually identical, and bear in mind it worked fine for the TReK trucks at stock height, so mild to moderate trails not an issue. Also, what year D-II? The CDL nipple is there on '99,'00, and early '01s- just add linkage from a D-I or go the Ashcroft kit (love mine). Low and...

    Waste of time,or not.

    I gotta ask- are you going to run >37" tires? If not, why not go HD Rover stuff from Keith or Bill? I have run 35s for 15 years on my Rovers, and never a problem on some pretty nasty stuff. Just saying, KISS principal should prevail...
