    Land Rover Discover 2...buy or don’t buy that is the question?

    This is a contact you will find very valuable. Abran and his wife are super nice people. They know everything about Rovers and sell a lot of used parts. https://carrs4x4.com/

    New Defender footage

    I am getting kinda disappointed with LR. They used to have the Range Rover, a nice, larger luxury SUV. The Defender, a boxy, utilitarian off road monster. The Discovery, midway between the Defender and RR. The Evoque, a small SUV for those who want something for snow and ice or a run-around-town...

    Camping with kids

    This is great thread. I have three kids, all grown now (30,25 and 20). We have taken them camping since they were in diapers. Your kids will stay busy all day and it will be a great experience for them.

    Land Rover Discover 2...buy or don’t buy that is the question?

    So the three amigos is explaining on most of the Landrover forums. There are several ways to fix it. I took the ABS module out of the Discovery and took it apart. There are two shuttle valves and they can stick. The rebuild kit was about $80. Then there are two electrical connection that are...

    2004 Land Rover Discovery adventure build

    This is interesting. From Wikipedia: The 4HP22 transmission can be rendered undriveable when held on P or N setting and too high engine rotation speed is applied for too long, for instance during emissions testing. Examples of situations that could lead to transmission failure include warming...

    Land Rover Discover 2...buy or don’t buy that is the question?

    We absolutely love our 2004. We have had it for about five years. I replaced the front joints with serviceable ones. I installed a top hat motor. Soldered the shuttle cable connection to get rid of the 3 amigos. Super comfortable and quiet. If you want a comparison check the towing capacity of...

    Driving “off the road”

    It is interesting to see the different perspectives from the different regions. Where this took place is in an area that people are just waiting for an excuse to close down to vehicle travel. Hundreds of “foot traffic only” and “closed area” signs dot the sides of the roads. Obviously helping...

    Anza-Borrego to Salton Sea

    It seemed like a normal weekend except for the Truckhaven area where a big event was taking place (I am guessing 100,000 people). Sandi and I spent Friday night in the Salado Wash campground and we got a spot at 11pm. Saturday we drove down to the Navy base and only saw a couple other small...

    Driving “off the road”

    I am torn about an Overland post of one of our members helping someone who got stuck. The stuck person looked like (from the photos) that they were off the trail in a grassy marsh. I thought it was nice of the OB member to help the person out but it appeared he also drove off into to bog to...

    Synthetic wench rope vs steel

    Are there any threads covering this subject? I am shopping for a wench and it looks like the synthetic rope saves about 35lbs but costs an extra $100.

    We are headed out from the LA area. Probably camp at the SoCal 4WD camp or near the arroyo Salado campground Friday night. Head back into Collins valley for Saturday night. What do you have planned?
