A rental Nissan X trail with worn out tires got us through the F roads of iceland just fine. the license plates didnt hold up so well though.

can you please post some pictures of the rust so us east coast members can help you make a decision. all you posted are pictures of the undercarraige

nuclear plants require a large amount of cooling water, often from the ocean, seas, lakes or rivers. Country borders are often oceans, seas, lakes and rivers.

i went through this decision process with my 2WD E250, as we spend winters ice climbing and BC skiing in the northeast. Ultimately i decided on a set of dedicated snow tires/wheels. Im sure the 3 peak rated ATs would be good enough. but i trust the dedicated snow tire much more when it comes...

now that winter is prettymuch over, i changed out to the summer wheels with new tires. 265/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler ultraterrains. a little bit of rubbing up front on some plastic trim, that i trimmed back. the wheels finally fit the buswhacker flares that have been on there for years. Now...

Ive used the first gen powerhouse in my van for the past few years. I dont power a fridge with it, but its been reliable and consistent. My biggest gripe with it is the lack of 12V input for charging, but it looks like that has been solved with this version.

I know my opinion is worth about as much as everyone elses here: nothing. but I for one, am really excited about this new defender. In about 2 years we will be ready for a new car, which will also be a DD. A stripped out D90 is currently high on my list.....much will come down to how much it...

After i upgraded my camper from a grand caravan to a full size, i took out the bed system that i designed for the van (1 piece) and saved it for a friend who had bought a grand caravan. Unfortunately his van bit the dust and he doesnt need it. I figured i would put it up for free to see if...
