No personal affiliation, I just saw it on Autotrader and thought to pass along the link: RHD Defender 90

No answers here, but I've always been curious about the same thing. :lurk:

Funny, I had the exact same reaction when I saw Andrew's truck in person. That beauty definitely gave me a major case of "rig envy"! "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's D90. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's D90. Thou shalt not ... mmmmmm, D90. Doh! Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's...

While I understand your frustration at not being able to get exactly what you want (I wouldn't mind a diesel Patrol, myself :D), I don't think the current North American off-road trailer designs are "the best we Americans can come up with". Rather, I believe it has everything to do with market...

Wow, great job on the photos guys! You got some fantastic shots. I was very disappointed with the way the few shots I took turned out. I had what I thought was a great one of Richard that ended up blurry; doh! Guess I need to add a new camera to my growing list of must-have goodies. Hmm...

Jim, thanks again for organizing a great trip! Couldn't have asked for a better day, or a nicer group of guys. I'm going to hang the certificate you made me on the wall of my cube, to remind me that there's more to life than work. ;) I can't speak for anyone else, but I thought the trails...

Not sure where you bought your shackles, but I imagine the procedure is the same for any of them. Here are the instructions from AC: http://www.4x4parts.com/FAQ/xterrafrontiershackleinstallationinstructions.pdf The hardest part, I think, it getting the rear axle lifted the right amount to...

:wavey: I've loved motorcycles since I was a teenager, and was very close to buying an Interceptor a few years back (they were just called VFRs back then). We went so far as to rent one for a couple of weeks, but found that it wasn't really suited for 2-up riding, at least not for a rider of...

Two white ones for me, too. :)

I'm a bit lighter on equipment than most of you. I have: Recovery strap Shovel Tire repair stuff JB Weld Duct Tape

Sounds like a plan! Thanks for coordinating this run, Jim!

I currently only have an FRS hand-held. I know that CB is the standard means of comm on off-road runs, so figured this trip might be the impetus to take the plunge. I'd been thinking of getting a hand-held unit, but after reading up on them, I'm not sure if I'd be happy with the performance...

Sorry for my ignorance, but what's SCEB? Also, with regard to communication on this run, from teotwaki's planning post: Does this mean CB is required, and Ham and FRS are optional? Or any of the 3 are suitable?

:iagree: My truck needs to get me to work on Monday. From the pictures, I couldn't tell if there's a bypass for that section?

Those of you who are members likely already know this, but REI's big spring sale started today. I've been shopping for a family-sized tent to replace the 2-man dome tent my wife had been sharing (don't think the 4 of us were going to fit in that one). I picked up up a North Face Trailhead 6...
