    Dual Battery Solenoid ?

    what to see and where to visit in finland

    We were in northern Finland 2 years ago, unfortunately there wasn't much to see other than forest and some more forest. When were there though we did go to the 3 country boarders south of Kirkenes, which was a nice 5km hike. I look forward to reading other posts, maybe there is more to see in...

    Do you have a preferred screen size for off road navigation? (vehicle)

    I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1" (2016) LTE which has an extra phone card in it. Since I have a 1980 Land Rover that has no modern conveniences I simply have the screen in the center that works just right for me and the wife.

    What's your wheel base?

    1980 Land Rover Series 3 88" Being so short and loaded with camping gear the ride does get choppy, therefore I installed a set of Air Lift 1000 air bags which helped with the load carrying but also the ride quality. I realize that this WB is very short to today's norm, but it did teach us to...

    Dachzeltnomaden Festival 2018

    We were going to book but it's the same weekend as Midsommar here in Sweden. The entire family usually gets together this weekend, but we will seriously consider it for next year. Have fun this weekend and post some pics here and on Instagram. Todd.

    Winch Hause - getting it right.

    This weekend I spent time getting my winch rope hause right. At the beginning, about 6 years ago when I changed from winch wire to synthetic rope with hause, I simply removed the roller fairlead and bolted the hause on. Moving forward to a few weeks ago out offroading, the winch rope was...

    Greeting from Nova Scotia, CDN

    Ant1 I recommend that you use a good Topo app for a surf tablet and start driving the coastal roads, exploring those gravel exits that look less used. You'll be amazed what you'll discover. Back home (Cape Breton) we did it a lot when we were growing up but back then we had paper maps...

    Camping For Free App Now Available, Worldwide

    An app that seems to be directed towards the Land Rover community in Europe is "LR Freecamp". I'm sure if your travelling by yourself or in a very small group, you'll be successful with the users and locations found in the app. Todd.

    How much work does it take you to get into overlanding mode?

    I think that this little clip that I put together from my cell phone should explain a bit more: As you can see the trails that we drive your not able to have the rtt or the awning on, you'll simply tear them off or seriously damage them in no time. The airbags the same, punctures in no time...

    How much work does it take you to get into overlanding mode?

    Ja, but you are cheating a little there Joey! You walk out the front door, get in your truck and drive only 100 meters to which your already on an adventure in beautiful Norway. Every turn is there something new and why I absolutely love Norway and visit every year. ........I'm jealous Joey...
