Welcome. I actually live pretty close to you, in Luxembourg. If you ever need some help or want to meet for a coffee.. let me know :), you can PM me..

I noticed 2 things on my LR 4 diesel, SDV6, might help others. First 5 minutes after start, specially if it was not driven for a week or more, it does not supply a lot for the 12V cigarette plug. So first 5 min it might supply 50-60 W maximum, after a while it raises the output to...

True, 4x4 SUV with hi/lo range there are not many left. In Europe is even worse, there are like 4 of them left all together to buy from new. People who don't want pick-ups are looking at anything. Right now I am watching some builds on youtube with some Range Rover sport from 2006 and...

So I studied the issue of running a cable from the engine bay to trunk. Again this the SDV6, which is a 3.0 liter twin turbo engine. Because of this the engine bay is extremely crowded, there is no easy access to pass a cable from the engine bay to the gromet on the...

there are 2 things that kill AGM's quick - heat and deep discharge below 50%. You avoid those and even a medium price quality one will serve you as an aux. battery for a long time, I am talking 5 + years. Right now, for any aux battery system you need a dedicated DC to DC. I had...

I am a bit puzzled by this kind of versus. First I would make a choice between pick-up and SUV in general and once I decide for one class of vehicle, than I go look at different models in a given budget...

For sure. I got a recipe for wagyu with mushrooms and melted cheese I want to try with spam. Will post pictures first chance I get.

Make sure there is some space between the panels and the topper, so air can circulate and cool them. Hotter they are - less energy they make.

My wife went crazy when she came from work like 1 h ago. "How did you get this ? Really ... :) .. ". She loves this stuff. When we lived in Belgium we had a small shop nearby that had some kind of corned beef cans that she used from time to time to add to her receipies. She...

I am rich ... :) :) :) !!!!! Someone on the forum saw my post about lack of Spam on continental Europe and the insane pricing and he prepared a nice package for me, he even included a slicer :) Thank you . Crazy world this is.. :)

It does need to be on par. about 35 % of what you burn is actually moving the car with a petrol engine. If they reach this ratio, they will be already be on par as size and weight of the battery need it. Still a long way though

in my experience, once you have about 9 inch ground clearance , a true 4x4 and good tires, the biggest limit is your balls and skill level. Sure It is easier with higher clearance, bigger tires, winch or what ever else, but they are all a trade-off between mpg, comfort and reliability ...

mostly because of the symmetrical awd system and crap engine. I had the auto, a 4 speed slushbox. I was so intrigued by it , that I made an effort to trace its origins, it was developed in the 80's still used on a new car up to 2008.. amazing. Manual was better on the fuel if you...

I Had Forester 2004 model, the 2l petrol engine. Had an average of 11l /100 km on trips, that is about 21 mpg I think, nothing on it, stock size tires and a 2 inch lift. Worse than my current LR4 diesel, that has like double the horse power, size and capability . Go diesel or go...

Go French style - a small cheap second hand SUV and bash the hell out of it. The best off road car in the world is the one you don't give a shit about.

You can get a telescopic ladder , longer so the slope is a bit more gentle and adapt it for a dog, attach some wider no slip materials steps Or thinking out of my ass here, a small pulley attached to the roof bar to lift a basket.. :)

With advanced ground teams and plenty of support and finance. Not something I can afford and I am not poor. The jeep Plug in hybrid, goes from 20 miles range to about 6 on off road . Might not be the same with full. electric vehicles, but for sure the range will suffer greatly. If you...

I am new dog owner, I got a chocolate Labrador puppy, long coat, he is 4 months old now. No long travel plan yet, but most likely he will either sleep in a ground tent with us or in the Disco 4 with my 14 year old kid ( he prefers to sleep in the car, he does not like tents. ) . So...

Operating temperature is not the same as charging temperature .For many it means they can be discharged at -x . Unless they have a built in heater inside, if they are indeed LIFEPO4, they will be destroyed if you attempt to charge them at negative temperatures.

I had some long trips planned. I might reconsider to go to places closer to home, until things cool off. No big deal, I haven't been to those places anyway so still will be very interesting and they were on the list to visit at some point anyway..
