@surfnturf Just so I am clear (getting old) with heater on the ground and the LCD in the tent. The rest of the heater was good ?

@surfnturf any issues with snow getting to the electronics ?

A little more progress on the travel case it is (in inches) 9.5W x 17.5 H x 22.5 long 1/4 in ply and 1x1 lower supports. The big decision is top removal and load or side, I am leaning to top currently, but as I need more plywood I can think about more. Side view with a temp rear panel and...

I should note the 12 Volt accessory (cig lighter if you are old) is rated at 13.3 volts @ 10 amps - but appears to be ok with the 12.5 for start up it is pretty short term. Also as there are many different makers of these you may not be able to use a Jackery type device for start up, running...

I did some testing with my new Jackery 240 as power system for the heater. The good news the heater started fine using the Jackery, now some numbers : Cold start reached up to 153 watts or about 12.5 to 12.6 amps - this used 2% of the available charge Once the heater was running at 5.4hz, full...

Just a few shots of my filter system. The blue is for the cold air intake to the heated air and the smaller one is for burner. The flange for the larger filter is 3d printed and held on currently with hi strength double sided tape - until testing is complete. The intention is to add hose and...

I think is just the sheer size of the wild parts of the country for North Americans. For example I am in Vancouver British Columbia, I planned a pre covid trip to the Arctic ocean, total distance to be covered 7821 Km or about 4860 miles round trip over 20 to 24 days. Most of that with...

Coming down off Perkin's peak in British Columbia about 7700 Ft last Sept.

7 to 9 days and I need to stop for 2 or 3 and base camp. For me that is generally a quiet lake somewhere, set up camp and "decompress". These days I do not do a lot of long haul but I have to go to Dawson Creek BC (750 miles) on family stuff this spring so it will be a long slow roll home.

@smritte I am going to try this one It should work ok, I need to pop my RTT and heat it so I can give it a good test as far as code throwing.

@smritte that one I am struggling with - I am looking at 3d printing a snorkel hood and adding a filter that way. The filter is the issue so far.

I used one of these on the combustion intake, it is a hair big but a 1 inch copper coupler and some duct tape sorted it out. Still looking for a solution for the cold air intake. Air Filter 35mm for Chinese Made 50cc, 70cc, 90cc, 100cc, 110cc, 125cc kids' ATV, GO-KART, Dirt Bike, Pocket Bike...

@tjZ06 I used to wheel with a Xterra group here in BC, and I have covered most of the same routes in my D2 in company with LR3/LR4's. I have found the Xterra's had to work harder to get past the same obstacles, once on the same day. Now that could be driver experience but the 1 LR3 driver...

If I was 10 years younger and an extra 50,000. Import a TD5 04 Discovery II our of Spain - Left hand drive. 2 inch OEM lift Steel Bumper Front and rear Turn the rear into a camper. Add a popup roof But the reality is I am pretty happy with my current D2, replacing the V8 with a diesel would...

@LanceK "I like this photo! Is it the wildness of the location? Does the tall grass make it feel so wild and un-stepped on? " This might be hard for you understand but most of BC is wilderness, that spot was not really that wild and unstepped on it was just "normal wild", you can drive for...

Not sure I can help, by nature I like solitude and never feel lonely as in missing companionship. But I know most of my land rover group who also solo have a dog or do short trips 2 or 3 days, most of them were surprised that I did 8 days by myself and was content. I read a lot, walk, fish...

@serpaco Either will work well. My local LR group has a number of both LR3's and LR4's that come on trips they have no issues keeping up with the older trucks. Do a lot of research before committing, both on the platform and any individual truck you look at. Do not buy cheap - I say this all...

West Harrison Lake BC, yesterday had to get out. And yes that is a snow squall on the far side of the lake.
