    An RTT mounted on top of camper shell with crawl thru entry from inside shell?

    Wow, that KiraVan is amazing! It says it has everything, but I did discover something it doesn’t have. While it has an array of imaging, detecting, range finding and other surveillance systems, it lacks a passive holographic stealth system to make it look like a giant boulder if any...

    An RTT mounted on top of camper shell with crawl thru entry from inside shell?

    This was exactly what I looked for last year and couldn’t find anything other than DIY. So, I am biting the bullet and planning a DIY pop top. My other concern was having the hatch and still having enough sleeping area. My wife and I are both over 6 feet tall and would prefer a queen size bed. I...

    2001 Suburban Pop Top Conversion

    And don’t go take a leak without removing your gloves first! A tidbit of information I wish I didn’t possess... I like the epoxy West Sytems best. You can get a thickener for it that will allow you to build up the sides without it pooling on the bottom of the mold. Also, it is far superior for...

    Expedition Vehicles: ridiculously overpriced or not

    Nothing is overpriced if it continues to sell. Capitalism is driven by supply and demand. This is why the market leaders are often those first in and the laggers suffer UNLESS they find an advantage, significant innovation, price reduction, etc. So, no they are not overpriced and if they were...

    People think pulleys increase pulling power.

    I used to be able to run half the engine. The 2012 Camaro engine I put in my 1988Defender had DOD that would shutdown up to 4 of the 8 cylinders. I disabled it in the ecu once in the LR.

    Any shop making a Custom Snorkel?

    Summit Racing (among others) sells all the stainless bends you would need. They are mandrel bends (meaning there is no reduction in diameter at the bend). They are listed under exhaust tubing and are cheaper than you will find almost anywhere else. You can buy flexible ducting from Mcmaster Carr...

    Gustavo The 4x4 School Bus

    Well done! Nothing better than taking the short bus to camp. I think you are going to end up with a ************ camper.

    People think pulleys increase pulling power.

    Whoever posted the Jeep and tape measure, you missed a measurement. There is two feet of CABLE movement at the pulley.

    Lol, Joe! This has become a very entertaining thread.

    Advice for soon to be father...

    Run... Okay, I have four 32, 30, 27, 19. Your child will be a digital native, meaning they will have access to digital technology from the time they first open their eyes until they close them for the final time. I fact, they will have technology augmentation in the form of implanted devices...

    Long term boondocking/camping near Edinburgh?

    I know Stirling Castle is a bit outside of Edinburgh, but there is a beautiful camp ground that allows long term stays just south of there. I can’t remember the name, but I’ll look for it. When I lived in London, we would drive up and spend August there during the international festival.

    1976 Land Rover Series III 109 build "Montoya"

    Hey, Psycho, how goes the build? I just sold my 904 and now working on getting the 911 ready for BaT, then back to Montoya. I also have the 101 heading my way for my expedition vehicle. This is more fun than any human should be allowed to have!

    Wooden you rather have one of these?!

    People find all sorts of ways to camp. Check out this “overland” vehicle from 1922.

    Spray on bed liner

    You can roll Raptor on, but two words of caution: 1. Buy extra rollers and inspect them often while using. The combination of the material and the rolling friction cause the roller to breakdown and bits of roller will eventually break off and imbed themselves in your finish. 2. It is hard to...

    Spray on bed liner

    No such thing as over prep. You will be rewarded with a long lasting and durable finish. I'll be coating my 101 FC later this spring.

    Show me your "Adult" rigs and how you keep them running.

    My 1988 Land Rover 90 is my daily driver and I love it! The best thing you can do for an older vehicle is service and drive it regularly. Start with a solid baseline. In my case, a rust free body and chassis with a recent repaint and abused mechanicals. So, out with the crappy 2.5 turbo 19J...
