My wife and mother in law are obsessed with his books and we follow them whenever we go abroad. His theories are good and he is good at avoiding the huge crowds and the standard touristy stuff. My only 2 gripe s are that his tase in food is mediocre at best and some of his “paths” are not worth...

Drove home to NC from Buffalo NY. Should have been 10 hours but ended up more like 14 for obvious reasons. They are great at dealing with snow up there in Buffalo and Erie, but what they got the last few days is just ridiculous. This is 90, major highway in NY and Mass. Imagine what the exit...

I bought mine in Texas and not just because I lived there at the time. Any state in the southwest will have generally rust free cars, but not all have he same inspection regiments. New Mexico, for example, does not require emissions testing in most counties and the ones that do only require it...

Putting this on my Christmas list. It battery powered and a “real” air compressor you can use anywhere. I already have more Dewalt stuff and batteries than any person really needs so it makes sense in my case.

Pizza mountain pies. Get a sandwich iron (the thicker the better) and stack it with butter, bread slice (both sides), caned pizza sauce, motarella cheese sticks and peperoni. Close and the iron and put it in the fire, heat until crispy. The first one takes 5-6 min because the iron is cold, but...

I don’t carry a chainsaw anymore. I just never had enough use for it. I do carry a battery powered sawzal with a 14” limbing blade and a metal cutting blade. I found I have had way more use for cutting away bent metal and trimming small trees than cutting through a 20”+ tree in my path.

And the most important mod so far.

I’m a little behind (5926). Mine has been sitting in a drawer for about 6 months now, but finally mounted it today!

This weekend near Blowing rock. Side note: with the new tires I have been getting a lot of mud and junk inside my door handles. Is this normal? Anyone else experience this?

We started out hiking in Blowing Rock at Boone Fork Trailhead. It was foggy down low but once you got above the clouds it was beautiful. Then we went to Blowing Rock brewery. Leaving blowing rock we took Globe road to 90 down to Maple Sally rd, to Brown Mountain Beech rd. The trail was...

I try to keep my mods and weight to a minimum by %. This is one area where the LR3 shines a bit. I can add the larger tires and electronically adjust the ride height so my overall CG is about the same as stock on the road. This should keep all my safety devices (anti roll over, abs, TC, ect.)...

I have an 08 LR3 and love it. I did a ton of research before I bought it. Fits 6+ a dog and will take everyone pretty much anywhere. They worked out most of the bugs from the 05-06s. Both models share many of the same mechanical components, just setup a bit differently. Personally I do not like...

I'm going to throw the Land Rovers in here and not just because I've owned a couple. You can buy a Disco II in good shape for 3-5k and an 05-06 LR3 SE 6-8k. The capabilities of these vehicles stock is absolutely amazing and will be more than enough to get you in and out of some sticky...

Hey Ivivier, good to see another rover being used like it should. I've been playing with rover for a while, nothing crazy, just trying to maximize their potential without overdoing it. With some effort I managed 32.8 on my lr3 and I have a good friend who has 31.7 on his RR sport. He went down a...

Crowders Mountain. It was overcast and drizzly but we had a great time hiking through the clouds. Also, something furry and delicious is in the woods and I would like to go get it please.
