I have been considering these very same platforms. at the moment I'm leaning toward a zj. Wj: My favorite of the 3 as far as looks. why I don't like it is because the front axle is basically wj only. and any upgrades for that axle are super spendy. and you still have a LP. jk axles are an...

sorry its been so long since ive been on here. i want to use it for trails, trips, and camping. i want no larger then 33s and just enough lift to keep them from grabbing the body. i really like the way the discos look but have heard they have a lot of issues. with that being said, there are...

your first 4x4! i remember mine it was a huge truck on 38s and i drove the crap out of it off road. after that i was sold to 4x4 forever. check out http://sleeoffroad.com/ they have all kinds of info on LCs as well as a newbie section for all kinds of basic info on the trucks. my advice would be...

yes, ive been here since nov of 06, its time for me to move back now. went with them oef8 & oefx. maybe i could convince my wife to let me buy an <87 LR but i doubt it.

sorry, i should have specified. i'll only be in europe for another month. then i'll be coming back state side. if i were to be staying i'd get the classic. they are all over the place out here.

I am considering buying a used discovery in the $3-$4k ballpark. I have never owned a land rover, and have heard mixed reviews about them. What should i be on the lookout for and why. what options, what years? I searched and didn't catch a thread so if you know of one please point me in the...

THE TRAIL WHALE LIVES!!! So, I got the engine back together and started it for the first time this morning. I was having some trouble getting it to fire. Checked the fuel, fuel pressure check! checked for spark, no spark. :( I went straight to checking all the wiring. looked, looked, looked...

aaah! the 24 bolt hmwv wheels. no tire slippage there.

i made one for my ford (they dont make them for mine) made it out of exhaust tubing, and rubber intake couplers. i just need to finish sealing it to the air box. wasn't hard at all. The hole i cut in the fender was a tad low but if i'm not mistaken, safari snorkels come with a stencil. i used a...

Tube Bending. i plan to bend some tube for the front bumper. i have access to a ram bender but i don't want to deform the tube at the bends and this is the method i was thinking of using. Make a "sand mandrel" if no mandrel is available. Put overlapping, crisscrossing layers of duct tape at...

*update* ok so i have been busy working on changing the heads on the expedition. there was a setback when i broke the passenger side timing chain guide, while taking off the old head. had to wait for the part. while i was waiting i did a few things. this is how the engine currently sits...

every time i have seen a tiger it was in the cage and i was on the outside.

p.s. storing coolant in bull bars is a great idea.

well it sounds like there are better options then a compressor and tank setup. and i've been stuck to the point where accessing recovery gear from the belly would have not been an option. i did however have a thoughts of making a charcoal grill out of a factory steel wheel and mount it there...

my dog gus (left) and his best bud cloud (right)

i usually see the military blazers sold for around 4-5k i dont know about from a surplus. but if you just want better fuel milage, why wouldn't you just sell the burb. and just buy the cucv. then you get straight axles and leafs all around. you get the diesel, and one ton drivetrain do you need...

velcro if its not too heavy. i think i might just cover the whole interior with fuzzy velcro and all my gear with the other side that way i can just stick stuff anywhere i want.

and when you dig out the 2nd shovel your friend can help with the rest!

thats a good idea. i never thought to look for bags and pouches at thrift stores. i'm usually not even thinking about vehicle stuff when i'm in them. i have used the plastic cases that some tools come in, just cut out the inner part that is molded on the inside. then you have a hard case that is...

p.s. and when i want to lay down the cash for lockers or a winch i'll just get it stuck real good and nasty while shes with me and make her get the snap strap
