    Does she still run? Aww, that's not so bad...most of that will buff right out (movie reference). The rest are story scars...she's a Rover!!! She's awesome! :^)

    Land Rover is doing what?!! Awe (wait for it)...Some!!

    Caught this story on Gear Patrol. I'd heard rumors that Toyota does this with the classic FJ Cruisers, apparently Land Rover has followed suit and is breathing new life into classic Land Rovers. The program is called, Land Rover Reborn...and this year, the program, is restoring 10 Classic Range...

    Snow Chains ??

    Yeah..."pizza cutters" were the preferred tires for mud too and still are in some countries (remember military jeeps?) Now...we use wider tires and air them down. I guess it's just personal preference I have never had any issues airing down for snow and ice. I live at the top of a 2 mile hill...

    Snow Chains ??

    You want a nice "footprint"...for me, I run 30x9.50 that have sidewall knobbies...max pressure is 60psi, I find if I air down to about 42 to 40 psi I leave a nice wide footprint with the help of the sidewall knobbies. But, every tire size and style is different. What you want, I believe, is a...

    Snow Chains ??

    If your tires are snow rated...they will have a small mountain symbol with a snowflake in it on the sidewall...

    Snow Chains ??

    It depends on if your tires are "snow rated". Some mud tires are...some aren't. Regardless, a lot can be said for winter driving skills. I carry chains for all four tires...mostly for solid or black ice conditions and for stopping in those conditions. Yes I do air down for certain winter...

Yeah, I have one grandfather with a full head of luxurious hair and one as bald as the moon...and me...I'm 47 and have had a bald spot about 5-6 inches in circumference on the top rear of my head since I was 30...everywhere...

    What was your first vehicle you took exploring.

    Geez Steve...didn't you ever have hair?! LOL, just kidding ;^) Awsome Fiat...I remember those growing up in Germany. I believe I mentioned on a similar forum topic that my families first exploration vehicle was an AMC Gremlin X...

    True spirit of overlanding! Congo adventure!

    Saw this video and it really made me think....sometimes, I think...we get too wrapped up in "Build Mania" and lose sight of the actual adventure. I'm guilty of it myself. This is a great video of just a guy and his rig and the outdoors...the awe of exploration and the wonder of nature. He...
