A bit late to the party on this one, but I've the last 10 years or so its felt like Land Rover marketing has just been following the trends of what everyone else was doing instead of innovating and coming up with new ideas. In the early 2000s, all the other brands had these inscrutable letters...

Bump. Price lowered

Yes, it is.

I'm selling my Howling Moon Stargazer Tourer 1.4 roof top tent with annex. This tent was mounted on the roof on my Land Rover Discovery and has the full length ladder. It was taken off for daily driving, and the tent has only been used about a dozen times so it's in excellent condition. Pics...

I did another round of grades prior to the Overland Expo, but I've been pretty busy since then. I'm going to try to post some pics and stuff in the next few days.

Sure... Send me your desktop resolution and I'll send you some sized for your desktop... PM me with pics?

Kristian, We've got an '05 CRD Liberty that sees daily driver use. On the highway, we've been getting about 26-27 mpg, which is nice compared to the somewhat thirstier 4.6 in the D2. Off road, it does great. It's biggest disadvantage is ground clearance, but with good spotting and tire...

The Kelly Kettle has got to be my hands-down, favorite piece of classic expedition kit. It's a bit bulky, but its fast, it uses nearly anything for fuel (dried camel dung, anyone?), and it's almost hypnotic to watch the fire erupting from the top of the chimney when it's really going. This...

Thanks. That morning was a nice break in the weather after 2 days of rain and snow.

Don't worry, we can stop in Tucson and wash your truck. ;-)

A few more pics of the truck from our trip. In Glen Canyon NRA, near Hite. Heading through one of my favorite spots, Black Dragon Canyon, with the CRD Libby: And by the way, I originally wanted a silver truck, but the "expo" white is really growing on me.

Sleeping in the Howling Moon Stargazer roof top tent. BTW - It's a great tent.... I'm super happy with it. I'm looking forward to sleeping with it in warmer weather, when I can take off the rain fly and open up the roof panels

We did a late night tent installation to get out the door to the desert in time. Got into Moab about the same time as a nice little winter storm. It snowed at the higher elevations, but rained down in the canyons. I got my first chance to really test out the truck on Beef Basin Rd. We...

If you don't mind the extra complication, you can add a saddle tank in the passenger seat cubby box. It's a standard UK tank that should add about 12 gallons of capacity. Not sure who has it stateside, but I'd guess George at RDS and RoversNorth are both good places to start.

Climbing up and down the ladder, I discovered out that some of the plastikote-type finish on the top rear ladder step had cracked and let moisture weep in under the paint. So I took the ladder off, stripped the old coating off and repainted it. Yeah, I know its time to clean out the roll cart.

Next up has been fitting the rooftop tent. Big thanks to Keith at RoverTracks, he helped me modify the SD rack so that I could mount a Howling Moon Stargazer Roof Top Tent. After cutting the top rail where the tent will go, we closed off the railing near the step in the rack. Then we...

I've been busy working on and playing with the Disco the past few weeks. To start off, I decided to replace the old metal rear lamp guards with the G4 style ones. I think it's a cleaner design, it doesn't stick out as far to catch on branches, etc and it matches the front G4 lamp guards. The...

I've got a few new 3/4" scepter pour spouts sitting in my garage I might be willing to part company with. Shoot me a PM.

If this is the truck you're thinking of, that was me: Are you the former Audi mechanic? Drop me a line and we can meet up. There's a good bunch of guys here on the Front Range.

Those are definitely the same lights as yours... I'm just curious who actually manufactures them before a LR logo gets slapped on them. Regardless, they're a big upgrade from the crappy LR aux. lights that came on D1s like the XD.
