    Surly Ogre, Salsa Fargo... Input requested

    I wasn't going to say it before because it wasn't relevant, but ride a Trucker before you make a final call if you're even considering one. I have one, in addition to a pile of other bikes including a Salsa, and it is by FAR my favorite bike. Riding it is pure bliss. Riding position is pretty...

    Surly Ogre, Salsa Fargo... Input requested

    Both are excellent choices, but you'll pay more for the Salsa. I'd say get the Ogre because it's cheaper, the bang-for-your-buck factor is super high, and it leaves you more money for accessories. In the end, you'll have to ride them both if you really want to compare. Easier than that would be...

    Need an Honest review of an Disco 3

    The computer was a bit optimistic, but this tank still hand-calculated out to 22mpg. The truck is stock on ATs and I had nothing on the roof. Compare to my D2 which typically gets 14-15 on the highway under the absolute best conditions, and the fuel savings in the LR3 over a lengthy road trip...

    Need an Honest review of an Disco 3

    Speaking as the owner of both a D2 and an LR3, I can pretty much agree with everything this guy has said. This is about the only thing I'll go the other way on. I think the interior of the LR3 is less engaging, more spartan, and not as refined as my D2. Personally, I think LR hit it out of the...

    Need an Honest review of an Disco 3

    Laughable. The only difference between the 03 and the 04 was the addition of the CDL to the transfer case. Other than this, they didn't fix or change anything and the 04s are just as problematic as the 03s. That said, my 03 has been reliable with some preventative maintenance and TLC. I'm coming...

    Scan gauge on D2

    Unless something has changed or they introduced a new model, the Scan Gauge does not read oil pressure or transmission temps on a D2. I have run one to monitor coolant temps and it works great for that.

    FS: Hella 4000 Rallye Lights

    The bow-tie shape across the center of the lens is fluted on the Cornering Beams. I have both the Corner and the Euro beams on my truck. These are absolutely the Euros.

    diesel Evoque under consideration for USA

    You may be right, but it's become something of a boy-cried-wolf thing for those of us who have been reading these rumors for years and years.

    Yeah, and I'm "seriously considering" winning the lottery and getting struck by lightning on the same day.

    Thoughts on winch bumpers for a Discovery 2?

    I didn't say a thing about knowing you, your driving style, or how you treat your equipment. I also didn't ask you to justify why you bought the thing. Good luck with your ARB Mr. Bumper Fab Engineer.

    Thoughts on winch bumpers for a Discovery 2?

    1)OP asks what bumper to get for his Discovery 2)Everyone recommends RTE or similar. OP says "too ugly, how about ARB?" 3)A couple people post "lol" and a couple other people warn against it. 4)OP buys an ARB anyway and vows that his won't bend or move because he's "gunna weld it." ... 5)6...

    Thoughts on winch bumpers for a Discovery 2?

    I love how every ARB bumper thread goes the exact same way.

    Thoughts on winch bumpers for a Discovery 2?

    Protip: Use a tow strap and drag them from your hitch. Using a winch to drag other vehicles toward yourself is a surefire way to wind up with a crooked ARB. Ask me how I know...

    Bear Grylls is new LR global ambassador

    Land Rover - the best four by four for piss drinkers by far. I'm about as excited for this as I was when they let Posh Spice "design" the interior of the Evoque. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Stroud Bear Grylls "exudes" the outdoors like Johnny Knoxville "exudes" comedy. Bear Grylls is an...

    LR3 Dash Trim?

    Yeah, that's how mine is. I just didn't remember it being labeled with the little cigarette logo. I'll have to look next time I drive it.

    Nathan, did you have two cigar lighters and a power outlet up front?
