    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    Well, that worked. I'll try the tent photo again... But the heavy duty Hannibal awning/room is far better for some situations like higher winds, heavy rain, snow, and it's modular in set up meaning you can just roll out the top awning, add one side, or all three sides as desired. It's also...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    No, I don't think it's that simple, and my question is not in regard to cost either, which is what many people use as their reason. Because other people will have their own reasons, we could debate it for pages. The question is posed to Scott though because he was not in the position to...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    2.5 years on now. When you chose this LR4 in 2012, the current supercharged V6 was not an option in North America. If you had to do it over, and had both engines and transmissions to choose from, which do you think you'd want to try starting now? As far as I know all systems that matter much...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    Regarding the depth of available "step" area, the Rover Specialties design I have seem perfectly adequate but I feel like I've seen similar designs in regard to the step depth. Maybe Tactical Rovers ? Either way, I think one of the smaller makers would likely be able to do a custom set for...

    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    Test fitting a camping idea that can be left behind during the day for less daily pack up/set up time. Area would be for cooking or bike maintenance in wind or rain. I have the Hannibal rear awning but the area is very small and obviously it has to be reset twice a day if driving off...

    Which Lr3 Sump Guard

    Sounds to me like drilling a new hole is better idea. Ideally Starting with un drilled bumper.

    My 2150 studs are cut off at the optimal height apparently. I'll try to post the photos later. I do know that back in 2007 I had no idea there were options for stud type.

    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    It could be worth talking to an Odyssey expert on how these are different because the CCA are way higher on the 2150 at 1150 and the reserve is 10 minutes longer. But I do agree that the 1350 looks like the easy solution. That 1" extra length though...I may not have an inch in how my air...

    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    Yes, I know the stud was changed for height restrictions but the tech also ran 2 grounds. One runs down to the bottom of the actual frame and I forget where the other one goes. There's a 40A fuse. The kit was a super simple but so far still effective Wrangler Manager. It has worked...

    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    I talked with Odyssey and did my own comparisons to come up with the 1350 for primary location as I wanted the most duration out of it for colder temps and accidental things like if the radio were on a lot but the "hunting" lights off feature really makes packing up all day or camping a safer...

    continued: What battery do you recommend? For standard use, the Autozone Gold 27F for $109. It provides 710CCA and 165min of reserve capacity. The identical battery is also available as the Sears Diehard Gold 27F southern for $125, or the Interstate MTP-27F for a street price of about $125...

    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    Interesting, the 2150 fits just fine without any issue against the hood pad. Maybe it's slightly shorter. I also wonder about the layout of the + & -. Mine don't have any issues like you mentioned. So, I highly "recommend" doing it but with this battery ;) I do remember taking measurements...

    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    Don. The trick was to be careful with the height as the hood rests right at the tolerance point so you can't put anything under it that I recall. You cannot get that battery in the 2nd location without cutting away the battery box in the front and relocating the little item that's in front of...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    The only aluminum "sliders" I am aware of are those made by Rasta (sold on Expedition Exchange) and they are not really "sliders" so much but more of a solid sill protector upgrade from the plastic factory version. Not that they wouldn't be strong, but they only cover a few inches such that any...

    Question about Rash Rings / Bead Lock for LR3 wheels

    No, you have 1" more sidewall. Unless he's on 20's. With the same size tire diameter, he should be able to use the same psi and retain higher running clearance under the front and rear low diff points, while you'd have higher breakover in the D2. For the traction issues mentioned though, it...

    Question about Rash Rings / Bead Lock for LR3 wheels

    Which nitto TG, the old or newer version? 25psi sounds WAY too little. But it depends on vehicle weight, therefor I don't think you should post that number to sound like a blanket recommendation. Mine on 30 psi seems like barely enough psi in a 275/65x18 bfg ko2. But my lr3 weighs 7000 lbs...

    What Is The Best Topo Map App For iPad

    Let's say I were fine with using these apps on my iphone 6, which has glossnas I think, as well as gps (or maybe my garmin wrist device is the one with glossnass ?) Anyway, my iphone 6 seems to work well for gps mapping in the Strava app, even where there is no cell service at all. So, does...

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    I've heard of this sort of behavior at some shops. Either take the wheels without the vehicle or find a manager you can "talk" with about the situation. It's either a company policy that all the shops I've been to will ignore, or it's the employee's misinformation or misinterpretation of...
