  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    High lift jack

    I keep mine under the second row seats. Drilled a hole and made a post from some all thread with a wing nut for the handle side and then a strap to secure the base on the other side. It does require undoing these from both sides of the truck but it stays out of the weather, doesn’t rattle...

    Just saw the Camel Trophy Land Rover

    Did it look like one of these? Front one is most likely the one you saw as it’s local to the Lafayette area and the other one is mine and has been tucked away waiting for a new axle half shaft and other drivetrain parts for a few months.

    2012 Range Rover Sport

    We had the nittos on my wife’s LR4 and got 62,000 miles on them. They did quite well in that time. Finally their real weakness showed as the side wall is short because of the 20inch rims and I got a sidewall puncture. But that was at 62,000 miles. They handled the off road stuff fine. Snow...

    Overland Safety: First-Aid Kits

    I've gone through all kinds of kits. Training is key. In regards to equipment, you need 3 kits in my opinion. I carry a hard sided pelican EMS case for "basecamp" needs. Stays on the roof rack. I have a "boo boo" kit for my kids and adults who act like kids. And then I have a "trauma bag" which...

    4x4 Training?

    The Nor Cal Land Rover Club holds monthly off road gatherings (MORGs) first Saturday of the month in rotating locations. All makes/model/manufactures welcome. It is a great place way to learn more about off road driving, recovery, first aid, etc. A lot of experience in the regulars that attend...

    Most "Classic" Overland Rig?

    Land Rovers. In my opinion made the biggest impact, not only the early years but the Camel Trophy event was one of the best marketing plans to date. But I'm biased as this is mine

    Camp Shower (Merged)

    The current versions hold 5 gal and Joel Cotton the owner has an 8 gallon one about to hit the market. 5 gallons plus a 5 gallon Jerry can has usually been enough for me for a week for cooking/cleaning/washing. On my current camping rig I already have too much up top so 5 gallons is enough but...

    North American Defender 110s?

    I also drive a Defender 110 regularly with an internal roll cage (think even less room) but at 6'2" and built like a Clydesdale I find my 110 isn't uncomfortable and routinely drive 3-5 hours in her. I do have the seat risers/slides but lose about an inch of their true capability as my seat hits...

    Trail Recommendations for Northern Bay Area

    Smart move! Yeah with an 11month and a nervous spouse you don't need more in your life. Stick to the easy to get to places.

    Trail Recommendations for Northern Bay Area

    Sorry should have added That there is some nice camping in the Lost Coast but some require a little work to get there. What are you driving and how comfortable are you off road as a single vehicle?

    Trail Recommendations for Northern Bay Area

    We like the lower nye camp ground in the mendo NF. Not next to a true water feature but there is a creek down a little cliff.

    Overland Safety: First-Aid Kits

    I teach the use of tourniquets in both the field and the hospital. For us who go into the back country there is really only a few things you can do to save someone's life, no matter your training or equipment. Basic ABC's (which are going away in favor of CAB), Airway and Breathing: make sure...

    Bruder EXP-6

    I emailed and found out they range from $69,000-$79,000 and are very long. Pretty sure it would go most places in the Sierras. Lots of open land in the Outback. My money is being save for the Conqueror UEV 490

    Traction Jack

    Yeah I wouldn't try to bridge with them but for the ability to fold them and tuck them away in the LR4 without the roof rack on they definitely have a niche. Worst case, if they break the traction part would still work.
