We had some mud slides and flooding around town due to the heavy rains, so I was puttering around when I found a truck that had hit the edge of a mudslide and gotten sucked into a ditch and wasn't able to get himself free. They were planning on using a ratchet strap around the axle of it and his...

Loved the video! It was great watching it and remembering the different parts of the track in the video.

A quirk I forgot about till it reared its head this morning, when in particularly cold or wet, my front door latch becomes very temperamental. Whenever I go to shut the door, it just bounces back open! Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

I believe they are talking about the land rover LR2, it came later as a successor to the freelander. It's one of the "softer" Land rovers, but still mighty capable Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

My 95' is similar, though not quite as bad. Others can start it but it will take them about 25-30 seconds to figure out how Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

Do they need new wheels? I would just slap on a set of good A/T's (Cooper's, BFG's, etc) and call it good. Their LR2 is a very capable vehicle stock, even without new wheels. Also keep in mind the LR2 does not have a low range transfer case, so bigger wheels aren't going to be too great...

And who said rigs aren't ment to fly! Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

Many of our overlanding rigs develop little quirks as they age. These quirks are what give a vehicle its character, what distinguishes it from others. I want to hear about the different quirks of all of the rigs here on overland bound! They can range from the smallest of things, to the largest...

Do you keep two sets of rims and wheels? Or just re-mount the wheels each time?

Lovely write up! Soda lake can be no joke, when I went through there hadn't been any rain in over a month, however after a little foot exploration mud could be found just an inch under the surface only about 10 ft off the track. Also I want to see some poser photos from the monument!

I would be happy to help in anyway that I can, so if there is anything you can think of that I could be of use for, just let me know

Buy once, Cry once

The pinto also made sure you stayed nice an toasty in the event of a crash! Bonfire anyone?

Also that everyone here understands that the failure point off-road is often between the seat and the steering wheel! Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

I often run with the A/C on, and never ran into an issue despite the hot socal climate. I also haven't needed to turn it off while idling, and that's in a 22 year old truck (the a/c automatically kicks on the auxiliary fans on the radiator) Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

I have also seen a few people try to link two straps together using a shackle in-between... If either strap snaps or the shackle breaks then you have a mass of metal waiting to break something or someone. As someone who works with rated shackles for my job, I am surprised how many people use...

It was a 1/4 mile long mine shaft! Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

A good set of new tires totally transforms a rig!

I had some jeep owners point and laugh at my rover as I headed into the dunes at Pismo. guess who I ended up pulling out later that same day!

Changed the engine oil in rover, I had waited a little longer in between changes then I would have liked, but the oil was nice and clean. I also found water and dust stains in my air box, and managed to soak my distributor, again, while washing the engine bay (I think I need to either get a new...
