    Building an over dinette bunk

    So I have a 2000 Cuchara that we just got a few months ago and after a four night trip with our family of five I noticed the kids could use a little more sleeping space. I decided to build a bunk over the dinette as I have seen in pictures that Hallmark offers this as an option. I have it most...

    Considering a Nissan

    Since the family has grown I am considering getting out of the Range Rover and getting into something a little bigger. I think I have narrowed it down to a Tacoma or a Frontier. I have done lots a research on both and it seems like there is less after market parts available for the newer...

    Deanli Road and Roosevelt Lake

    The family and I took a little trip this past weekend and I thought I would share with the folks here. We left Sunday and the weather was great almost the whole way. When we got a few miles from Cantwell we ran into a huge storm but we continued on anyway. At the Denali Highway junction the...

    Diagnosing a slipped or cracked liner

    So I have been looking at this 2000 DiscoII that the owners were told has a slipped or cracked liner. The mechanic that made that diagnosis did so without even turning a wrench. Is it possible to tell the difference between a liner problem and a head gasket without removing the heads? Also...

    Airbag coil spring helpers

    Anyone using them and how would you rate them performance wise? I'm exploring options to help carry the weight in my Range Rover when it's fully loaded. There are two manufactures that I have found that make them for my vehicle. One being Firestone coil-rites and the Other is Airlift 1000...

    Suspension upgrades for the Range Rover Classic

    Since winter has fully set in my expedition season has ended and it's time to do some work on the rover. I am currently running the OME HD springs in the front and rear with 255/85 Truxus MTs. The HD springs in the rear tend to sag quite a bit when the rover is fully loaded so I want to...

    WTB: Dome light switch for 95 RRC

    I'm having trouble finding this part for some reason. It's not the same as the buttons for the 94 and earlier RRC so I'm sure that has something to do with it. If you have one let me know. Thanks.

    Got the base station up and running.

    I finally had time this weekend to finish running my antenna feed line into the garage and got it all tuned up and talking. Hopefully my portable HF antenna will get here soon too so I can play with that a little. Here's the base station. And here's the home made j-pole 2 meter antenna...

    Dual band antenna mounting on roof rack.

    So I currently have my 2m/70cm antenna mounted to one of my Thule cross bars. I'm getting a 1.5:1 SWR on 2 meters with full power and 3:1 SWR on 70cm with the radio cutting the power back to half. If I grounded the antenna to the roof would that help improve the SWR on the high frequency? Or...

    Should I get an HF transceiver as a first radio?

    So I'm taking my technician exam tomorrow and I'm pretty confident that I'm going to pass. Of course if I do this means that I'm going to need a radio and I have been looking at my options. I think I plan on upgrading to general once I learn the ropes since this would really open up some...

    Water storage in a RR Classic

    Anyone have any good water storage solutions? I have room in the back where the spare tire was or the subwoofer is (I'll ditch it if I really have to). This site lists one on the very bottom of the page but I haven't found anything else. No pictures of it either...

    GPS reradiating antennas

    I searched and didn't find anything on this subject. Does anyone use one? I want to use my iPhone for navigation but the signal inside the vehicle is very spotty to non-existent. When walking around with a clear view of the sky it works great though. It doesn't have a plug for an antenna so...
