When Tata bought LR all those years ago, the lawyers went on a bender notifying every club, indy shop, or parts place that had Land Rover or a green oval in their name/logo that they were infringing on their IP. Clubs just had to sign an agreement with JLRNA to keep the name. Company's had to...
I don't have any direct experience with the TF sliders. Mine are from Rovertym, well that's the name when I bought them. They are RTE now. Anyways, they look similar to the TF version as they are sill mounted. If you come down pretty hard on them, there's a good chance the sill will start to...
Hoping to drive the truck for the first time since Jan 24th. That was 73 days ago!!! It finally passed smog yesterday after trying since late Dec. I've been dealing with this longer than my broken leg, sheesh. I'm in the boot, so I have to check that I can get in the truck, have enough foot room...
Wuuut??? Damn I thought my 01 D2 was high mileage at 205,000 miles.
Mobil1 full syn every 5k fr the engine. Brake, and power steering fluid every couple of years. Diffs about once per year. They get conventional oil because of the lockers (85W-140) and the t-case (75W-90) is full syn Mobil1...
Winching with the Hi-Lift is very strenuous. I'd only want to do it to reverse the truck out, maybe 2 lengths of the standard, depending on the stuck/mire factor.
The hitch receiver winch is good choice if you think it'll be used in both locations. After watching the video of that guy floating...
For the money, it is hard to best the Trasharoo. In the CA sun, mine lasts about a year before the uv rays turn the straps into dust. Some people install it just for trips, but mine sees as much use around town as it does on the trail. In fact, I've had one sitting in a box from Amazon since...
I need a new bottle jack as well. The ones that came from the LR factory are telescoping. Of course they're stored on their side in the engine bay and after 15 years, are useless. This is about the only telescoping jack I've seen. Haven't ordered it yet, but it's on the list...
The upgraded poles and grommets for the awning are really nice. I plan to order those as soon as I get my RV-5. Come on good tax return, pappa needs a brand new tent!!!
Well if you've owned a Defender before then pay no attention to that statement. A lot of people aren't ready for, or neglect the maintenance of their Rovers. Then they break and the repair bill is crazy so they sell it. The new buyer then inherits all the BS from the previous owner and the...
Titanium sporks (REI and Brunton) and my Benchmade knife.
The Brunton My-Ti spork is pretty cool. It has a clasp end that serves as a bottle opener that everyone seems to love. Is has a couple holes in the handle (gotta save that .01 oz. of titanium) and they get clogged. Mainly with my oatmeal...
