UPDATE - It's sold - thanks for looking! --- Hi, Regrettably, I'm putting up my 1972 Land Rover Series IIA Dormobile up for sale. It's a great base vehicle that's in pretty good condition for a 41-year-old, but I've realized that I'm not going to have the time to perform the restoration I would...

Hi, I have 2 Iron Goat Defender Dash kits for sale. This kit transforms the center part of the dash - it has room for a DIN-sized head-unit, 6 Carling rocker switches (like the ARB switches), a couple of 52mm gauges (I think that's 2 1/16), and a couple of recesses for you to cut out square...

Anyone got any suggestions for LED worklamps? The Hella Matador worklamp I have on the back of my D90 is starting to fall apart. I've always been worried about the current draw (a "friend", ahem, left it on all night and flattened one of the batteries), and while it's a great lamp, I think a...

I've used the GPSMap 478 for years, it's a great chartplotting GPS I've used it all over the world. The new GPSMap 640 looked like its obvious replacement. I subscribe to the XM WX weather service. It's a little pricey (I have the "sailor" package), but we're out and about a lot in CO & UT so...

I have a nice Icom IC-2820 in my D90, with all the D-STAR goodness. I'm thinking of adding the Kenwood RC-D710 as a TNC so I can use APRS on the analogue side. It seems like a great combination to me and it seems like Bob Bruninga (the APRS daddy) agrees. This article seems to give a good...

Ok Ladies and Gents, As a follow-up from the Which OS? poll, I'd like to know a bit more about your hardware. Netbooks really took off last year, and I, for one, welcome our mini, cramped-keyboard and underpowered overlords. Let's see what comes out off this one. I've categorized the options...

Guys, Can anyone remember who imported into the USA a '97 or '98 CT110 by shipping the parts separately (IIRC, they shipped the rolling chassis separate from the engine and other bits)? TIA, Nick.

Hi Guys, I'm curious to know what OS you're using when on the road. I personally, prefer OSX running on a 15" MacBook Pro, though I've used both Compaq and IBM/Lenovo hardware on the road and been happy with them. What do you use on the road? Nick.

Renault Trucks Defense announced that Land Rover will build selected Sherpa tactical vehicles to compete jointly for an outstanding MOD order. Personally, I'd bet it'll be a truck based on either the Sherpa 2 or Sherpa 3. I've not had any feedback personally on what these trucks are like in...

Iridium lost a bird due to a collision with a defunct Russian satellite this week. Iridium are quoting 30 days to reposition a spare, and are stating there may be outages until this Friday, 20090213. BBC news article. Nick.

Hi, On a friends recommendation, I've just started using Redline MTL in my R380s. I've got to say it's a fantastic upgrade over the ATF the manual advised (though there is a service bulletin advising MTF94 dated 1998, it seems that information didn't make the manuals even though they were...

Hi Guys, I don't know why I didn't post earlier. Kristy and I are currently in Yazd, Iran, and it's a treat. We've spent the last 3 weeks overland from Baku in Azerbaijan and will end up in Dubai next week. Iran is so not what Fox "News" would have you believe. The people here are wonderful...

Hi, I've realised that my main expedition truck is 10 years old this year, not to mention stuck in the UK so I've been looking at 100's here in Denver. I've driven them in the mid-east a couple of times, and think they'd make a great expedition truck. The biggest drawback I can see is the...
