    80 Series TJM 13 Bumper Install

    Why are there 2 fairlead slots? I had a T15 on my 2004 Discovery II and was pretty happy with it.

    FZJ/FJ 80 Help please?

    Go to Ih8mud.com and search the FAQ which will educate you nicely on the 80 series. The front axle service is very well documented, basically new trunion bearings, replace or just repack the wheel bearings, CV repack with grease and new seals. A straight 6 is an easier HG job since there is...

    FZJ/FJ 80 Help please?

    You're worrying too much. The PHH is just a 20 dollar fix, the axle seals are just fine but the front needs to be serviced every 60k but it's a driveway job for less than 200 dollars in parts. Head gaskets go eventually but tend not to fail catastrophically and are easier than V8 since there...

    5 Wheel Drive: Land Rover & KTM tackle the Gaspé Peninsula

    I'm building a '97 Land Cruiser now that will be perfect for long drives like that.

    Planning a trip in a D1

    Not to discourage your daydreams, but why go all the way to the end of SA as your first long trip? Have you been out to CO and UT? Beautiful, same country so WAY less logistics, just get in the truck and drive west covered by AAA the whole way. Or head north to New England and the Canadian...

    Newb questions - apologies in advance!!

    No shop can do a professional job of a TDI swap with proper transmission and ancillaries for 10k, you're dreaming. You can't just bolt a 300tdi in and expect everything alse to work, including the gearbox, which really should be a manual.

    Goodbye Defender

    Correct, 99% are though and they are the ones whining.

    Goodbye Defender

    Why the hell is this still being debated? The Defender has been gone from the US since 1997 people! Get over it already, it's been 13 years since you could buy a new one.

    Backpacking and kayaking trip in the Adirondacks

    You got a beautiful day to summit Algonquin. When I did it years ago at the same time of year, the winds on the summit were near hurricane force and we were coated in rime (wind driven freezing fog) by the time we got back to the trees.

    Nantucket is half the reason ECR has such a backlog.

    2010? 2011? Land Cruiser photos

    That thing is even uglier than the new Sequoias. As far as the LR bashing, the posters I've read have absolutely no clue as to the capabilities of the new generation Range Rovers and are just being immature. Terrain response does so much (that I guarantee you will actually like if you drove...

    Winter/Snow Tires

    Wider than you would like? You can't go much skinnier. I know almost everyone here has had a cup of the 255-85 Kool Aid, but 10mm wider is only about 3/8". No one can tell that difference in the real world. Nitto Terra Grapplers might be a good year round tire for your needs, aggressive for...
