That's a heck of a find! And your work so far on the first one is impressive, so clean. -TJ

Welcome from next-door in Lincoln. -TJ

The closest trails are right around an hour from home. -TJ

Some pics at camp, I am a horrible photog... All-in-all it was a great trip, but there was one disappointing aspect. Like I mentioned the trail is hard enough that it keeps your average camper with an AWD crossover or something out. The 2 groups we saw leaving as we came in...

Some pics my buddy with the Cummins got... As you can see, the trail wasn't "hard" and I think any stock 4x4 out there should be able to make it. But it was just hard enough that it should keep the crowds down. -TJ

This last Sunday a friend and I headed out to explore Tamarack Lake in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and camp for one quick night. We hadn't been up there, and actually just took or tow-pigs. I was in my '11 Chevy Silverado 2500 (Duramax/Allison) and he was in his '06 RAM 2500 Megacab...

P38As are neat rigs. You'll get a lot of 'hate' about the reliability, especially the old Buick-derived V8. Heck, I even mentioned that in another thread about rig suggestions. Still, they can be had for a song (or it seems free in your case) and can be fun and relatively reliable if you are...

Great info, thanks! -TJ

Sweet ZJ and trailer! -TJ

I certainly agree with keeping your CV angles as close to stock as possible. On my '11 Silverado I run a 4.5-6" lift kit set as low as possible (4.5" or so) in order to maintain stock CV angles (the kit drops the whole front subframe and diff down ~4"). Sure, I'm giving up a little ground...

I love Bowman Lake, did you make it down to The Little Town of Washington? -TJ

https://www.ebay.com/itm/350708797088 It arrived this week, but I haven't had a chance to put it in yet. I might get to it tomorrow, but I'm going out to Tamarack Lake Sun-Mon so I might not. I'll update my thread when I do the swap so you'll know if it's the right one and fits. -TJ

Nice work! -TJ

No need to be sorry, I'm usually super guilty of that. I only have a few pics from my last run (like the one I use as my avatar) because I had a buddy with me that likes to snap pics. It sounds like you had an awesome time, and I need to put this on my "must do" list for next year. Also, it's...

"Because Land Rover" ;) Good work getting to the bottom of it though! -TJ

I have some pretty serious issues with the description of the impact of a lift on suspension travel. He's assuming lift is only gained by adding spring rate/height paired with a stock limiter on travel (generally the shock). Any "good" lift kit is going to retain stock-levels of down-travel...

That looks great! What polishing kit did you use? -TJ

I have some good (bad?) stories, but they were more from my younger "wheeling" days than what we'd all consider Overlanding. Though, they often ended up with having to sleep in the rig, lol. -TJ

I love the jump packs, and had to use mine on the last trip (replaced the battery as soon as I got home). That said, I still carry cables, it's the old "two is one, one is none..." thing. -TJ

Yeah, that was my point. Most old LRs are prone to lots of rust... but yours seems very clean. That's why the rotor surprised me so much! -TJ
