Despite the name, the Overland Rallies are not a traditional rally, they are 3 day gatherings or festivals of all things overlanding, where one can take classes, make friends, check out gear, and win prizes. Because of that, the individual threads for these shows are listed in the appropriate...

In 1957 a couple of unknown young Canadians decided to drive around the world doing field research. They bought a 1957 Pilcher Ambulance bodied Series 1, called it the Grizzly Torque, and set out. Now no longer young or unknown, Bristol Foster is a famous naturalist and ecologist, and Robert...

Hi All, I have decided to change out the hydraulic winch on my D110 (200tdi) to a Warn 8274. I have two batteries already, but I am still running the stock (I think 40amp?) alternator. Does anyone know of a straight-swap (drop in, holes align, same plug, pulley, etc) alternator upgrade, like a...

Bearmach UK is sponsoring some prizes for Land Rovers only, at the NWOR, including this cool badge. They will also be sending some little prizes, and a gift certificate for £250, which is like US$330! Woo Hoo! ExPo member Doug Lawyer will be coming up from AZ to do the judging and hand out...

One of the cool things about being involved with the overland industry is being exposed to a lot of interesting gear. I recently bought a Wilco Hitchgate Solo from Tom at Adventure Ready in Seattle. They are priced reasonably, about $550-$620 depending what options you want. I've been using it...

Question: Is the Bottle Jack from a Disco 2 the same as the jack that was in a RRC? I hear the RRC jacks are hard to find and sought after because they had a "double" shaft allowing them to raise higher. I see lots of Disco 2 jacks on eBay, but not RRC, so I am wondering if the Disco 2 jack...

Does anyone know the correct resistance for the coil in a 1988 RRC? I'd like to check mine with my multimeter. Thanks! Ray

I have a faulty ECM in my 1988 3.5l RRC. I don't have a spare 13cu but I have a 14cu available. Has anyone else done this swap? Anything special to note or look for? Or is it a simple matter of ensuring the output pins are correct? Thanks! Ray Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know what the weight of a new XCL would have been, in 7.50 x 16 size? Thanks in advance Ray

So I have a set of 5, 38 inch Maxxis Creepy Crawlers, on 15 inch Land Rover rims that fit a Disco 1, Defender, Series, or RRC I believe. The rims have a deep offset. Not sure what it is but I could measure it. This is what the tires look like, but not a pic of the actual tire. They are almost...

So now that my three sons are getting a little older (early teens) I am planning to get back into more serious hunting of larger game. I think it's a great way to teach the circle of life and a deep respect for the animals that we feed upon, to my kids. And organic meat is expensive. Currently...

Howdy everyone. We (my wife, 3 kids, and I) are planning a family camping trip next year. We have a 1954 Series 1 Station Wagon (86") that I got for $500. It hasn't run for at least 20 years, has no wiring, no brakes, no glass, etc. The plan is to patch it up a little bit (windows, basic seats...

Hey everyone, Just curious who is bringing their Rovers to the Overland Rally this month near Seattle? I am bringing my 110, and Land Rover USA is giving us a new RR and a RRS to play with on the technical course, but I'm always interested in putting names and faces together with trucks. Who's...

Well, we are almost finished the winter issue, and one fun article is from our own James Langan, who does an in-depth review (mostly on dirt) of the new F800GS Adventure. I won't give away the details, but suffice it to say, he really likes this bike. (Click photo for larger image) Still...

Not mine, no affiliation, yada yada. I normally don't share things I find on CL, but OMG I love these bikes. They are the ultimate little "go play in the sand dune" bikes. Found on Vancouver BC Craigslist. http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rch/mcy/3880276746.html
