    Where did you install your OB emblem?

    Hello, can you tell me about the antenna mount and how you ran the cable? I have a friend that got a new SUV (not an overlander) and is looking to mount a ham radio in it. BUT, the thought of drilling a hole is a bit nerve racking to him at the moment (actually, I think it isn't so much...

    Well Bugger!

    In my efforts to be a good Overlander and Land Rover owner I go out to do the preventive maintenance on Oliver. I pop the bonnet and do a visual inspection and start checking fluids. At this point I discover that the coolant is down fairly low. I top it off and then start it up and fiddle...

    Hello from the Silicon Valley - My Other Rig.

    Hello All, I also have a Jeep. It is a 1954 Willys M-170 Front Line Ambulance. I decided to post it because I have camped in it more than the Land Rover. I do like it a lot but is sure could use a 4th gear. I should get another badge for it.

    Budget Build

There is a good bit of stuff you can cobble patch together and turn your truck into a nice overland vehicle for pennies on the dollar. I have built quite...

    Hello from the Silicon Valley

    I just have the one and it is not very good. The seats fold around to make a small table or can be all laid flat to to make a bed that sleeps two. There are two "cots" up in the roof section that will sleep two more. However that males things a bit cozy, two and the dog is the way to go. It has...

    Hello from the Silicon Valley

    Hello, I'd like to meet up I love looking at other folks Rovers and other rights to get ideas and good information on "how to". Thanks for the information. I did look into the NCLR but the $100 membership fee is a bit too pricey for me.

    Land Rover Registry

    There is nothing like a Land Rover. I like to go "old school" Oliver is a 1962 Dormobile. If you can fix your lawn mower you can pretty much fix a Series Land Rover.

    Name Tags

    I'm a newbe so this might have been talked about before. I belong to a military vehicle club. One of the things they did is made nice name tags for us so that when we are at events we know who is who. They are pretty straightforward, it has the club logo your name and where your are from...

    OB Approved A Basic Overlanders Guide To Mobile Radio Equipment (U.S. Version)

    Nice write up. Has anyone thought about using the MURS radios? They are VHF and can be up to 2 watts. I have used then for various things that usually involve non-hams.
