    Is a RRC a reasonable daily driver?

    Hello ExPo Land Rover Brain Trust, I'm in need of a new daily driver. Currently sitting in my driveway is a project RRC (1991 Great Divide) I adopted from a friend, which is to say the truck is not a wholly unknown quantity, but there are a number of problems that she never figured out, pretty...

    Six 285/75-16 Goodyear MT/R - previous generation

    I have six last generation Goodyear MT/R tires from a project that never happened. Two tires are new, four tires have 11,000 miles on them. Selling because I need a different size for my current vehicle, otherwise I would keep them. Having used both these tires and the new ones, I prefer the old...

    Frontier fragile front diffs

    I'm kind of kicking the tires on a new truck. I'm intrigued by the Frontiers, at least on paper, but I keep hearing about the fragile front diffs and how you need to replace them with Titan diffs, axles and gears. Where is the line between fact and fiction?

    Ksyrium SSC SL and SRAM Compact Crank

    I know there are a bunch of roadies here so thought I would offer up some gear here. I'll post up pictures if anyone is interested. 2006 Mavic Ksyrium SSC SL wheels. Like new, about 150 miles on them. Came with bike. Nice, light and strong. Prefer the aesthetics of a traditional wheel. $500...

    Who makes an EarthRoamer ER2K?

    After poking around the EarthRoamer site and other places I'm starting to think that Bill's original ER2K is my ideal 4-season exploration rig. Who makes something close to it now, or at least a camper similar to that one that could be married to a pickup in much the same way as the ER2K or...

    2001 Suburban LT loaded, blown engine

    My dad's 2001 Suburban blew its engine while idling. This could be a great inexpensive project platform for someone. Price: $3,000. Blue book is about $8,000 and a new engine I'm guessing is about $5,000 (the engine rebuilder gave that as a worst case guess, but they have never rebuilt one as...

    Pathfinder service manual

    Not sure if this should go here or in the for sale section, but I still have a factory service manual for the WD21 Pathfinders (1987-1995). If anyone wants it, it is yours for the cost of shipping. It is well used, but the greasy finger prints don't cover anything important. :)

    Eezi-awn questions

    Can someone tell me: All the differences between series 2 and series 3 tents? Whether a 1200 is big enough for two 5'10" adults and a dog or couple? What is a reasonable price for a used series 2 1200 in exceptional condition? It is time to move to the roof and I'm tired of trying to pitch a...

    Trxus tires

    Does anyone here have any first hand experience with Trxus tires, either as a daily driver or on-road snow tire? I have seen a handful of reviews on the net, but they are so polarized it is hard to take them too seriously. People say they are really quiet (compared to their 40" boggers?) and...

    Mac OS X 10.4.10

    Normally I wouldn't post this here, but as there are a bunch of new mac users here, Mac OS X 10.4.10 is out today and the install is a bit buggy on the Intel machines. Before installing, repair your permissions and unplug any USB, firewire, PCMCIA devices except for keyboard and mouse. It is...

    Volkswagen Touareg off road capability?

    Does anyone have any experience with the off-road capability of the Touareg? I drove one to a regatta in Phoenix this weekend (Denver to Phoenix and back) and was pretty impressed with the truck. I also noticed it has electronic locking center and rear differentials, which got me wondering.

    Disco video

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdaLhjwCEYs&NR%3C/a%3E Pretty cool. I got a ride in a LR3 yesterday touring a job site. Despite the OEM street tires, it had no problem going through snow, mud and some decent hills. I have to say I was pretty impressed. It also had squeaks and rattles...
