I just went over to the store and ordered one with my number on it. I wonder if they would do stickers, I'd totally put one on the Land Rover.

I'd love a West Patch with my number on it! This is too cool.

I like photography and have a Nikon D5300 and 7000 with various lenses and whatnot. With that said, I'm going along with Young. I have taken some really nice photos and videos with my old iPhone 6. What I did is I used my iPhone (started with a 4 and worked my way up) to take photographs and...

This is most likely one of my more boring post.... All I did was the preventive maintenance and took it for a spin with Buster (our English Lab mix). I think I'll take it to work tomorrow, just for fun.

Hello Tyler, I think Lars is right. QRZ is free to register and they don't "sell" your info. I used the ARRL books, but Gorden West, who I have met several times, puts out some good books as well (I used his book for the GROL/RADAR license).

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I'm back on the road!.

An Update!.. OK I got the radiator back and it looks good. The repair wasn't too bad. I went to upgrade the generator with an alternator but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the old generator out. I guess it is time to RTFM.. Meanwhile i did get the radiator back in place. It...

One of the things that I feel makes me an Overlander is when I get "sent" somewhere for business or the like, I'd do all that normal mundane "plan for the business trip" stuff. Then I go search the map and see what there is to see and do while on my way there, coming back, or even while I'm...

Hello Erin, I usually work days but we have some after hours work that has to happen this week so I unfortunately won't be able to make this go around. Please let me know when the next one is.

Hello, Thanks! They are out there and fairly easy to deal with. I'm sure at some point the "right one" will come along for you.

Actually OEM might not be the right phrase. However there are still lots of Land Rovers out there (we just don't see them here in the US). So the parts availability for them is pretty good. Combine that with the fact that they really didn't change much for several decades and there isn't a lot...

Very Cool, Thanks for the info!

I'm hoping so as well. the older ones are sure better that the new stuff. You figure this one lasted 55 years. The replacement radiators for the old series Rovers are OK from what I hear.

Yeah you are right, all in all they are pretty cheap. The "old ones can also go into the emergency spares box.

I'll have to pull the thermostat when is new, but that isn't too hard. I'm sure it could use a good flushing out. I think I will replace the water pump, the "old" one can always go into the emergency spares box.

Well here it is. The job wasn't too bad. I did reaffirm a few things about turning wrenches: 1) the bolt or screw that is stuck will be in the hardest to reach spot. 2) in order to remove the broken part you need to remove at least 5 good parts. 3) I am still a proud member of the Bloody...

Hey Colin, that is a good idea. We flushed it once but the "soup" was still pretty thick when I empties it today. The other thing I'm starting to think of is whether or not to replace the water pump. it is not show any signs of trouble but the job would be so easy now that the radiator is out...

hahaha Thats funny!!

Thanks for the tip. The hoses are fairly new. Oliver sat in a driveway for may years before I got it and we had to put a bunch of work into it to make it roadworthy again. As long as the radiator is out I'm also going to upgrade to an alternator, Oliver still has the old 30 amp generator which...

Nice set up! Several good ideas came from this.
