Anyone fitted vredestein quadtrac 5 tyres to their vehicle. I am interested to know what they are like in the snow?

Lots of adventures planned but no build plans. I quite like it the way it is and in the UK all I really need is decent snow tyres for winter adventures in the Scottish Highlands and Islands and I’m good to go.

Looks great. I have just bought a MY2012 XC70 D5 Polestar to replace my Nissan Pathfinder.

Officially Ford don’t sell the F150 in the UK but some Ford dealers have started importing them as there seems to be an interest. Definitely a lot of recreational pick-up trucks on the road now in the UK. The Toyota Hilux and the Ford Ranger are really popular and the VW Amarok is probably the...

Well they have obviously caught on to the idea that it might work in the UK too as the latest model is covered in plastic mouldings. If they had done that years ago Subaru may be a bit more popular in the UK. Although years ago it was very unpopular in the UK to own an SUV and we were being...

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if they had holes in the doors and you have confirmed that for me. I would love the latest model of the outback but sadly my bank balance won’t stretch to that. The new ones in the UK have gone with the more rugged US style look.

Can anyone tell me why the US version of the 2010-2012 Subaru Outback has black plastic side body moulding but the UK version of the same year does not. I cannot find anything online about the two models being any different but they clearly are. I am wondering if you can get this body moulding...

Nissan Pathfinder. 7 seats but folds completely flat for huge load area/bed.

I generally don’t bother about bugs but I’m talking serious swarms here. With the Scottish midge you can literally disappear into a black cloud of biting itchy bugs. I was hoping someone would have a clip on net of some sort over the back of their truck. I’m not a fan of deet as someone...

Does anyone have a net set up over the back of the truck? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I have a Mountain Trapper sleeping bag from Cabellas that goes down to 0F that I would not be without. Also merino wool thermals are really good. I buy mine from a company called Alpkit but not sure if they ship to US. The good thing about wool vs synthetic is wool will keep you warm even when...

Just wondering what people do in the summer to stop yourself getting eaten alive by bugs. I cook out of the back of my truck (see photo for set-up and I will also sleep in the back when I’m on my own. People with a similar set-up, what do you do to a) stop the bugs eating you alive while cooking...

I have got 31’s BF Goodrich AT K02’s on mine and was told that was as big as the PF could take without cutting stuff. Does the 2 1/2 inch lift give you enough clearance for them? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

What spec you got? I have a European R51 2.5 Diesel Aventura with the full off road system including HDC. I love my truck:) Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Is that a Pathfinder I spy next to your tent? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I used to have a series III when I first learnt to drive. I bought it in pieces and eventually assembled a whole Land Rover Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I did try a uk coast scene with a series II Land Rover driving along it but it didn’t work out too well. The land rover was too small and intricate. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Ok so I have gone back to my photoshop and had another go- my first attempt nearly saw me throw the computer out the window. So I think it’s probably impossible to represent the whole of the U.K. and keep to the guidelines of what all the OB patches look like. The first one with the stag says...

I do think we are trying to do the impossible here with a patch that represents the whole of the U.K. I mean can you imagine trying to create one patch that represents the USA?? We have thought about landscape and also a map; how about a coat of arms? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk
