I got access to a pre-production Grenadier to do some test fitting of products. I came up with a Front Runner set of crossbars, not yet available and bolted them directly to Overland Pros Baja clamshell roof top tent. The rear ladder and spare tire can be used for tent access, though attaching...

My buddy was desert camping and they hit some low temps into the teens! His friends came with trailers (turtlebacks) and they both froze lines causing leaks and issues. Be sure you drain your tanks and lines before hitting really cold weather! Stay warm!

Traveled down into Baja this past week for an awesome vacation. This trip was less offroad but still quite an adventure. Headed to San Diego Friday night before crossing the border at Tecate Saturday morning. Rolling down in a new vehicle, I wanted my FMM travel visa stamped as the vehicle...

No shortage of rovers at my house.. 2001 P38 Range Rover (175k miles) that started it all, 2006 LR3 (190k), 2010 L322 supercharged (120k), 1991 Santana/defender (300tdi conversion) and 1990 D90...but I am getting tired of upkeep on the older trucks. Going to thin the herd now that I bought a...

I am starting my build thread on my 1991 Land Rover Santana Series IV 110. It is a crazy homologation of Land Rover parts and Spanish ‘upgrades' which is basically a Series III frame with leaf springs and a Defender body. It has a 110 wheelbase (not 109) and wider defender axles with 10...

Wanted to post up a few pics of my Overland Pros Anza 2000 roof top tent on my trip last month to the Maze District of Canyonlands near Moab. Mind blowing scenery and very remote... the ranger said some of the most remote country in the lower 48. Almost 200 miles round trip to a gas station and...

Last month, my buddy Eric and I drove out from California to Colorado to meet friends for a week of adventures. They have 2 AEV Jeeps well prepared and itching for the trails. We met up outside Ouray on a portion of the Alpine Loop near Pughkeepsie gulch. I rolled in late after 18 hours of...

My Flexopower 78W foldable solar panel arrived today and my first impressions are very favorable. It is very robust and while heavier than expected, it folds down smaller than expected. The thicker material over the Powerfilm 60 watt will be good in the wind to keep it flat. I am planning on...

My 1991 Land Rover Santana 109 finally arrived in the states from Barcelona after over a year of waiting. Originally purchased in April 2016, upon further review of the title, the seller misrepresented it as a 1990 when it was a 1991. Due to the 25 year rule, I couldn't import it until last...

On Sunday, we took the rovers wheeling on the Deer Valley trail which connects highway 4 with 88 near Bear Valley ski resort and Blue Lakes south of Tahoe. Unfortunately, the complete trail is closed pending environmental issues but you can run most of it and turn around. I joined the group...

I really like my TuffStuff RTT, but the 3? Inch foam mattrest is too slim for me as a side sleeper. I picked up some long REI backpacking pads which I slip under the mattress and I am comfortable. But I wanted to find a permanent solution and enjoy the true convenience of the RTT. I picked up a...

The LR3 blew a tire yesterday, thankfully with me driving and not just my wife. Required jacking up vehicle, removing hitch, lowering spare which is oversized and deflated ion order to fit under the car, inflating spare on the vehicle. The tire is not repairable with a major slice under a tread...

After 3 years and some abuse, my Goal Zero Extreme 350 battery wasn't holding its charge like before. I also left it discharged for a few months, which is not good for a lead acid battery. So I started to research a replacement battery and found out the OEM battery is a Ritar RA12-33, the same...

My buddy Eric bought a D90 in the fall and had a bit of work done and part of the frame repaired this spring. We took it out for its inaugural trail run on Monday afternoon. We headed to Signal Peak, near Tahoe which is just an hour from our neighborhood. Got off at Eagle Lakes exit, loop under...

I bought a Factor 55 Flatlink for my Range Rover and a Factor 55 thimble for the LR3. The winch on the LR3 is recessed in the ARB bumper so it doesn't stick out too far. One issue I noticed after taking off the original hook was that the pin was slightly bent. The new pin from Factor 55 is much...

Attended the LR Rocklin Discovery Sport launch event in Roseville today. Its a nice upgrade over the LR2 but looks way too much like the Evoque...in fact almost identical to the Evoque from the front doors forward. The two disco sports they had did not have the third row option and I'm not sure...

Tried to plan a last minute trip to Death Valley last week and thought I had two other trucks to head down with. But as the week came to a close, work issues surfaced and they couldn't make it. Since it was Ella's 5th year and she was dying to go, we ventured off on our own for a few days. We...

Bought my first trailer on Govliquidation.com and picked her up yesterday. Once I got home, I realized the trailer I brought home was not the same as the one in the pics onkine, but awesome just the same. I don't think this trailer ever saw any duty since the nubs are still on the tires! The...

I won an M1101 from Govliquidation.com last week and am looking forward to bringing her home. Have read up on a number of threads about these trailers. Ideally, I was looking for a smaller trailer but we will see how she tows and acts when I pick her up. The price for a decent m416 is ridiculous...
