    1996 Discovery 1 300tdi/R380 with CA diesel title

    It pains me put my 300tdi D1 up for sale, but my wife and I are remodeling our house and I haven't had the time or money to work on the Disco. I'd like to see the truck go to a Rover enthusiast who will enjoy it and appreciate how cool this vehicle is. THE GOOD 1996 Discovery SD. The SD model...

    Waterproof Pants

    Next month I'm getting re-certified in wilderness and remote first aid, and since part of the class is outdoors (and assuming California gets some rain) I'm thinking it would be a good time to get a pair of waterproof pants. These pants would also be used for working around the house in the rain...

    2000 4Runner 3rd member with 4.10 gears and only ~95k miles

    I'm going to be moving and need to clean out the garage. This 3rd member came out of my 2000 4Runner 4x4 5spd and is excellent condition. It has about 95k on it and is not the e-locker. I only removed it because I swapped in a different type of differential. Price: Asking $250, but no...

    On board air in a 2000 4runner

    A few weeks ago I finished an OBA install in my 2000 4runner and earlier today I finally got around to doing a write up. For the install I mounted a SuperFlow MV-50 behind the trim panel in the driver's side of the trunk. No storage space was taken up, and I was able to retain the functionality...

    LED hatchlight

    I've been playing around with high-power LEDs for a couple of years now, and when a friend of mine added a LED hatch light to his 4runner it was too great of an idea to pass up on. The base parts are a CREE XR-E LED, a current source driver that puts out ~650ma, a spare computer heatsink, and a...

    I'm in the middle of setting my my 4runner and as part of the build I'll be adding IPF lights on the front bumper, rock lights, and a 12v compressor along with other electric accessories.

    Any input on 255/85s and stock gears?

    How many miles is "too many miles"?

    I'm in the market for a 1999/2000 4runner with a manual transmission to replace my 96 Grand Cherokee which is at the age where it requires nearly constant repairs. 3rd gen 4runners with the manual and e-locker are few and far between, and that coupled with the fact that I really can't stand...

    Do I need to call Rovers Anonymous? (considering purchase)

    I've been wanting to change to a different truck for a while now, and after casually researching the Discovery I for a month or so it seems like a reasonable choice.

    Safely transporting propane

    I've always felt that the 16oz green cylinders are an inelegant way to transport propane, mainly because they have a small capacity and cannot legally be refilled. A 1 gallon (4.5lb) re-fillable tank seems to be a great solution, but I'm a bit concerned about transportation. These types of...
