    I have an M416 trailer for sale in excellent condition - located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Price is $2,500.00 CDN. The trailer was purchased from a Canadian military surplus yard in unused condition. It was always my intention to modify it for family bike, canoe, etc. carrying duties behind...

    Land Rover Family Travel Video - 1980's

    Spring is here in Toronto, Canada. Finances won't allow for any distant wanderings this year. I am anxious to get out with the family in the local area just the same. I found this great Land Rover family video on YouTube. It got me thinking about family and travelling again...

    Front Runner Load Bars

    Anyone have any experience with the Front Runner load bars versus a Thule or Yakima setup? I am looking for a set to carry an oz tent and an awning mounted to the side - a canoe as well on occasion. The specific vehicle will be a defender 110. Regards Henry

    YouTube trailerfitter

    I haven't seen this link posted here - lots of DIY mechanics tips for Rovers. Some are specific to the 300/200 TDI series of engines but lots of drivetrain stuff as well. http://m.youtube.com/#/profile?desktop_uri=%2Fuser%2Ftrailerfitter&user=trailerfitter&gl=HK Henry

    Defender Receiver Hitch

    Has anyone come across a Pangolin style receiver hitch for the Defender available for sale? I've contacted Pangolin in the past and was told they don't make these for the Defender crossmember. I love the design - looks stout with integral chain/D-shackle mount. I have a tank guard that uses...

    Series III - Youtube

    I haven't had the chance to get out much in my Series III this summer. I stumbled on this YouTube video which inspired an overdrive seal repair I'd been putting off and drive this past weekend. http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=ckDnjz-DQ2c&feature=related Henry www.4x4freedom.com

    Cooper ST's - 255/85/16

    I've got the winter Rover storage season to mull over tire choices - I've decided on size 255/85/16. I've searched through the forum history and found a few who purchased the Cooper ST's - any updates? Cooper sells the tire as an enhanced traction All Terrain - how is the mud performance? How...

    Asus Eee PC

    Anybody had their hands on one of these yet? I've been looking to upgrade my GPS set-up. I always appreciated the merits of my brothers Lap top and GPS combo but cost and space always changed my mind. Granted, it's no storage powerhouse but for email, journal writing, topo USA (?)...

    Ardbeg, Ontario, Canada

    Warm fall temperatures and the promise of the seasons changing leaves was all the excuse my wife and I needed to head "up north" with our daughter Astrid this past weekend. Due to her nap schedule at 10 months old we left late and met my brother and some friends 3 hours north of Toronto near...

    Defender 110

    The Rover God's have smiled upon me - the new family truckster 110 has been imported, registered, and plated. It spent the last week or so doing commuter duty - seeing what falls off, leaks, or doesn't work. I've never been so eager to hit the traffic and head to work. A quick introduction to...

    Fj45

    I've noticed a few posts on Expo lately featuring FJ45s - 24hoursofNevada, in particular, led me to Global Classic Import's website. As a new father I see the days of traveling in my Land Rover Series III SWB are numbered. I have no plans to part with what has become an old friend - I feel...

    This I Like - Gama Goat

    Now this I like - I'd have to paint it pink to soften the military flavour but it's faster then my old Land Rover and probably no less comfortable..... Good info on the build up as well. http://www.drive6x6.com/goatmod.htm Henry www.4x4freedom.com

    Bobcaygeon, Ontario, Canada

    Work and family have made any kind of travel plans impossible to make this summer. I turned off the cell and headed 2 hours north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada this past weekend with my brother and a friend to Bobcaygeon. The fall leaves were starting to change and though the rain made things...
