    It's a recognised alternative way of cutting your toenails.

    Land Rover Registry

    Passengers side eh. Just remind me what the significance of The Mayflower is, if you will. There are only 2 sides of the vehicle to drive from. The Right side and the Wrong side. Ha ha ha

    Roof top storage boxes

    I have three which I carry on my roof in the dedicated Hannibal cover. They're sturdy, stackable and worth the money I spent on them. I will agree that their waterproofness is poor.

    OB Approved Chain Saws

    Just a quickie to tag onto your comment, training alone doesn't guarantee safety. From experience (not my own), one of the biggest causes of injury is complacency.

    Roof top storage boxes

    My mileage is terrible anyway. The Land Rover Defender doesn't do good mileage unless it's on a trailer. I haven't noticed any difference at all. I only use them when we're going away anywhere. That probably doesn't really help you. Did you see the photos on the first page of this thread?

    Roof top storage boxes

    My wolf boxes are L 56 x W 23 x H45 so when I have all three in a row on my roof I have an extra L53 x W 69 barrier for the wind to catch.

    Roof top storage boxes

    I see you have been ignored twice now. I'll respond with my comments. I use the Hannibal Wolf Boxes and associated cover (see the first page for photos). I don't experience anymore wind noise than driving without them. I will say that aerodynamics are reduced even further when they are...

    Other than kitting up the 90 exactly how I want it, I'd be purchasing a Conqueror UEV 490 from Oz. They look awesome. If Conqueror are looking for someone in the UK to test drive their UEV 490 I'm prepared to nominate myself for that task

    Pictures!

    My g My gear has to be stored in the house as we're not blessed with the warmest of weather. My tent for example is canvas and being in the UK our prices are ridiculously high for everything so it has a nice warm spot to hibernate between outings Ultimately I would like a weatherproof garage...

    I'd be up for this except that I don't have enough holiday to take that amount of time off. My New Year resolution is to win the lottery jackpot. When I do I'll be driving everywhere.

    This looks like a venue for a potential gathering however my lovely employers are a little frugal when it comes to holidays. I am hoping however to make a trip early next year to the Lake District so I hope to touch base with one or more OB members.

    West Europe Buy/Sell/Trade

    Wrt the buy / sell page, I think I've browsed it briefly but I figured it was predominantly stateside and haven't looked since. It might work but what about those buyers who always try it on and say they never received their item whilst enjoying it at the same time? That's why I tend to stick...

    I'm more interested in the travelling aspect rather than offloading. Unfortunately my pride and joy isn't fully equipped to the level I'd like. Who knows, with Christmas approaching my fellow OB family might get me what I need. Such thoughtful chaps. Thanks everyone. Ha ha ha

    What are Overland Bound Challenge Coins?

    I wouldn't count on it. I retired after 23 years in the Royal Navy and I'm not entitled despite my current employment status. On the other hand I'm not in the US either.

    Non-Member Rig Photos

    I was out and about today and saw this........ I'd love to get my hands on it.... If only I had a promotional OB flyer or two to hand out in such scenario. We could do with a Director (nee Ambassador).
