    Let's talk frying pans

    One thing I prefer with carbon steel over cast iron is how smooth they are. One of the main differences between old cast iron and newer cast iron is the surface texture. You can buy modern cast iron that's silky smooth, but it's super expensive, making carbon steel relatively cheap. They're...

    No refrigeration needed

    This has probably been covered, but "just add water" pancakes are shockingly good. Bisquick sells the batter in a bottle so you don't even need a bowl, not space efficient, but simple. Tried them last weekend because I was cooking for 16 and they seemed easy, and everybody was happy...

    Let's talk frying pans

    Any particular reason you want to get away from cast iron? You want non stick, easy clean up, and metal utensil OK. That pretty well describes cast iron and carbon steel, and I'd give the nod to cast iron due to cost. Never seen a non-stick coating that holds up to metal utensils or high...

    98 Land Rover Discovery, lots of mods

    Time to sell my 98 D1, too many toys and not enough time to use them, so I'm thinning the heard. Front suspension, all custom radius arms, cromo heim joints, SAW 2.5" coil-overs, SAW hydro bumps, trussed axle with a full sewer cap. 4130 steering and panhard rod, all on chromo heims. Rear...

    One of a Kind RRC Trailer

    x2 Who is this mythical character? The RRC trailer is pretty sweet, it gives you a couple more cubic feet of storage space than an extra-cab Ford Ranger's bed. Works great on trips with a central camp, there's enough room for one of those giant white coolers that holds 500 beers, enough...

    High elevation lighters

    Started carrying mine too, makes lighting anything and everything way easy, also good for melting ice, soldering battery terminals, breaking free stuck nuts/loc-tite etc. For back-packing, good old fashioned matches and flint have always served me well.

    from jeep to rover????

    D2s are a tough one as far as milage. If you can find one, any year, with the head gaskets already done and a locking center dif or at least a lockable case (some have the T case, just not the linkage), and a good service history, milage isn't a big concern. I wouldn't buy an 03, no CDL and lots...

    tools

    Used to use Tool bags, they sucked. Nothing ever stayed where it should be, 5-minutes fixes turned into 20 minute fiascos. Switched to a Pelican 1600, works great, but it's pretty heavy. Not a big deal when working on my truck where I know what size everything it and can grab exactly what I...

    Rover 3" RTE springs and Fox shocks

    Buy some parts! Best way to get ahold of me is via email, MaxYedor@aol.com 1 pair of Fox 2.0x10" shocks, valved perfectly for the front of a Disco1/2/RRC/Defender, and damn close to what the rear should be at, if you keep a light load in the back, they're golden, these are the same age as the...

    Yaesu 8900 / 8800 extended transmit mod

    FWIW most of the race teams in Baja, along with all the race Ops, pit clubs, emergency Ops and Weatherman are on frequencies that require the mod. While in the States it's illegal to transmit on those freqs. with a modded radio as they are commercial band, however in Mexico all private radio...

    Baja 540 question.

    Nathan, the power cabel does unplug, but the simplest way is just an inline switch, the unit draws something like 2.5 amps peak so any switch will work.

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    Here's the Disco aka "Grover the Rover" "Totuga" and "Chase 2" as it sits today, it's constantly evolving so this will be outdated in 30 minutes. 1998 D1 50th aniversary edition, so it's even more rare than an NAS D110;) RTE 3" lift Fox 2.0s with remotes, next on the chopping block, time for...
