You guys who wheel a Suburban or especially an Excursion mentioned before must be on different trails than I’m on! I’ve owned a ‘97 Suburban and an ‘01 Yukon XL. The XL had 345k on it when we sold it and I would have driven it anywhere. As you mentioned, phenomenal vehicles, but they’re HUGE...

I had to laugh at myself as I installed my hi-lift on my new roof rack! I’ve had it forever, everybody’s “gotta have one”, right? Even if I found a situation to use it, I can’t. I don’t have any place on my rig I can lift with it. I guess if my winch fails I can use the hi-lift, 48” at a time.

I’ve got the cobra. I’ve used it very little, so little I’ve only pushed the PTT to test SWR! I’ve used it to listen in while traveling on the freeway. I find the sound to be harsh from that tiny speaker. It certainly works ok, but if the volume is up and you get a bit of static, ouch! It does...

That’s quite a list, I was referring to the Land Rovers but wasn’t clear about that. Didn’t the Disco start in ‘89? You must have meant a Range Rover Classic? Pretty night and day difference from the mid 80’s ‘til now. There might be a few in there that aren’t a complete waste of money. Glad you...

Come to Park City UT, between Tacos and JKUs there’s gotta be a half dozen “built” rigs in EVERY parking lot! There are more shiny new hi-lifts hanging on these than in a Tractor Supply store. And that’s not an exaggeration.

I hear this mentality a lot in the off road community. “Buy once, cry once” is the mantra. If I were to apply this to every purchase I would have nothing. While many out there can afford to justify this mentality, I can not. Fortunately, theses are not life and death, so it comes down to: are...

Well, that’s a bummer. Too bad faulty service ruined the entire brand for you. I’m not sure how any brand would do if you pump out most of the oil. They’ve come a long way since the defender, even though the defender itself didn’t change much.

I think you need to re-read your posts. Don’t waste your money on a Rover doesn’t sound positive. I still would like to know what model you had and what happened to require expensive towing bills. You make it sound like a recurring issue, inquiring minds want to know.

It was NOT my intention to convince you that Toyota is not the greatest thing since sliced bread. They are, in fact a very dependable vehicle. They may kill you if the airbag goes off in a fender bender, but I digress. I was mearly defending the brand I really enjoy. Many people love to bash...

What models have you owned?

Look, I know you said it’s your opinion, but come on. No Land Rover ever? As a Land Rover owner I get a little sick of the LR hate. Do some have issues, yes. Do they all have issues and are garbage? No. There is sooo much Toyota love here and they’re great vehicles. Now here’s my opinion...

I did mine probably 2 years ago and they’ve held up so far.

I saw the pictures you posted, that trail is much wider and has smoother rocks than I just encountered. We ended up, after the point of no return, on a trail the width of a side by side. It didn't give me much, if any, room to avoid nastiness. As a bonus I got a crap ton of new pinstripes! I...

I'm reviving a bit on an old thread here, but... Anyone care to comment on how these have held up in the rocks? I need to get a new set of shoes for my LR3. I'm stuck with 18" rims and live in Utah. I just shredded one of my Duratrac's (LT275/65/18) AND the spare which turned into a ride on the...

I’ve owned, or considered many of the vehicles on that list. It really depends if/how you want to build the vehicle. I currently own, and love, an ‘06 LR3. It’s my DD, comfortable enough to travel from Utah to Minnesota, 2nd and 3rd row both fold completely flat, one of the most capable on that...

2006 Land Rover LR3, pretty much stock, 275/65/18 Duratracs, Smittybilt 10k winch on a hidden mount, little bit of lift through computer reprogramming. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I used the exact same weather stripping. I looked at the "marine" version and thought "I can do that!" I proceeded from the sporting goods section with new box in cart to the weather stripping aisle of Fleet Farm. Viola! sealed sportsman box. I didn't glue mine and occasionally I have to...

Tailgate, next to license plate.

I had an '04 Disco and loved it other than that pesky slipped liner it developed. Now I just bought an '06 LR3 and love it, the room inside it is phenomenal! I've yet to start modding it yet but I really like it. I can't speak about the RRS because I've never looked at one, they're just not the...
