    Sleeping inside Range Rover L322

    I have searched exhaustively and have found little discussion. It's tight. Has anyone figured this out?

    So tired of breaking R180s

    Second one in 6 months. On the first one I broke the carrier, on the second I sheared the pinion shaft. That is all :(

    My new to me Kamparoo

    Purchased this 2010 Kamparoo Transcontinental model (with kitchen) from a gentleman in Michigan. From reading reviews here it seems they are quite well built and capable on fairly difficult tracks. Can't wait to go pick it up next week!

    Broke Xterra R180 front diff, best option for upgrade?

    I posted this on the new X as well and am hoping for some additional opinions here. I broke the R180 front diff in my 2014 Xterra this weekend. I'm seeing this as an opportunity to upgrade. I understand the strength advantage of an open M205 against an open R180, because of the weak R180...

    My trailer idea - does anyone make something similar?

    I see a small camping trailer in my future and have been napkin-sketching some ideas. I've come up with a fairly simple live-in style design and I can't seem to find anyone who currently builds something similar. I'm curious if there is a specific reason why this design wouldnt work? I dont...

    Xterra fuel economy :(

    Stinks! Averaged 15-16mpg on 1700 miles of pavement (highway) this past weekend. This needs to be addressed. What are others seeing for average mpg? (2nd gen in this case)

    OME/PRG lift and 255/85 KM2s for 2014 Xterra

    PRG "Deaver" 2-leaf AAL rear, OME HD front, 255/85R16 BFG KM2's installed yesterday. I've put about 20 miles on the set up so far and I think it's great. The stiff suspension and tires really transforms the Xterra into the SUV I knew it could be. I am running it with a ~80lb RTT bolted to the...

    Find me this jacket!

    Classic late 80's track jacket stealing the show on the original Great Divide Expedition. VOLR would never be the same if it saw the likes of such a piece of ballooning nylon.

    Using jump pack as cheap shore power solution?

    I have an old jump pack kicking around that still works well enough. I got to thinking - in theory, it would be possible to plug my fridge into the 12V socket on the jump pack, while charging the jump pack from a 120V outlet via extension cord. I imagine I could also connect the jump pack...

    Installing 2nd generation Xterra coilovers

    I just ordered new OME struts and springs for the front of my 2014 Xterra. They will come unassembled. I am very mechanically capable, however I'd like to read through a how-to with some decent photos of tearing down and rebuilding the struts/top plates before I dive in. Could anyone point me...

    Warn 9.5ti motor rebuild

    I have a ten year old 9.5ti that I am in the process of rebuilding/refreshing. I want to have the motor gone through because when I last used it 3/4 years ago it was sparking and arcing. Does anyone have experience going through one of these motors that could offer insight or am I better off...

    2014 Xterra purchase?

    For some reason the Xterra just popped on my radar. I'm looking at a new 2014 S package... for $27k this seems like a lot of truck. I like how it rides and drives, there seems to be good aftermarket support. What am I missing? Why does everyone love the 4runner but the Xterra doesn't get the...

    2010 LR4 SE package, great for an enthusiast (For Sale)

    I wouldn't normally post a vehicle for sale here but this LR4 in particular may be of interest to the readers here. It's a 2010, SE package, which means it's fairly basic. Silver with a black interior, and just 25k on the clock. It does have the Cold Climate package (heated seats, steering...

    Heating a Roof Top Tent with a Wood Stove...

    Outfitter tent style. Let's investigate this scenario using a proper roof top tent with an "annex" or changing room added. Like this ARB Simpson example. Obviously the lower portion of the tent would have to be modified with a stove pipe. What else should be considered? Here is an...
