Here’s a more permanent solution. Not cheap though. https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/so-you-want-an-auxiliary-fuel-tank-for-your-lr4.30633/

Right?! I’ve got about $1500 in mine, including the used tepui RTT.

I guess I don’t get the point you’re trying to make. While the Austria stuff is awesome, it’s expensive, as proven by your previous statement. I’m not making any statement wether it’s worth it or not, it’s just a commentary on the price tag. BTW, I’ll take a HIVE camper over patriot any day...

In USD the patriot x3 is advertised at $56k and change. No idea what it includes( or doesn’t). I make no claims wether it’s worth it or not, just making the observation.

They also charge double what I paid for my first house for a trailer with a tent on top!

What wheels are you using?

I’m assuming you mean May 21st since you just posted this. I’m not sure the elevation there, but snow is an issue this time of year if you go high enough. Gaia doesn’t show any there on their snow depth layer, but don’t be surprised if it’s there. If I had a group I’d try it with a backup plan.

How’d this axle work out?

For me, I think the way I store it is the cause of the rust issue, but I don’t know that it’s really seasoned well either. I thought the nylon bag would be good for keeping it dry and rust free. It appears it lets moisture in and won’t let it out. When I pulled it out the first time this year it...

Yeah, that’s what I’ve done so far and it hasn’t been successful for me.

How do you guys store these and keep them from rusting? My brother gave me one he made and I can’t keep the thing clean or from rusting. I treat it with oil and keep it in a nylon Christmas wreath storage bag but it just isn’t working out. I keep everything in the trailer so we’re ready to go...

Well, the latest update is.... My SWR meter and jumper cable are bad. It’s a new to me Workman model 104. When I went in to pick up the radio, I asked if they could test it. They spent a good half hour comparing it against their $600 Bird meter. He said the readings I was getting were consistent...

The hood is aluminum... Is there a problem where it’s mounted, aside from my height issue? I have every intention of getting a quality antenna, it’s just down the road a little way. I’d rather spend money on a new antenna that mounts to what’s already there than a complete mag mount unit. I’ve...

Yeah, mag mounts are hard to use when the entire roof is glass. The only steel I’ve got is the band on the front and sides of the front sunroof. I wasn’t intending on that antenna being the only one, but I kinda blew my budget getting everything else set up. I also frequent a very low parking...

NMO mount is bolted front and center on the rack and the rack is grounded to the chassis.

I got a call from the repair facility today. Their tech bench tested it and aligned it but said he could not find a problem. I haven’t picked it up yet and I’ll ask a few more questions when I do, but weird. I’ll probably bring my SWR meter and see if they have a quick way to test it. I’ll...

Yeah, it wasn’t necessarily that they didn’t think there was a problem with the radio. There were 3 or 4 guys with not much to do when I was there. One of them said he’s seen problems with the cable, specifically the braid not making good connection when the connector is crimped on. I will do my...

I just dropped off the radio at Air Comm yesterday. They were suspicious of the cable and mount. I had my truck there so they came out and tested it and said it was fine. It should get looked at today since they had a 24 hour wait for anything dropped off in person. I’ll post up what they find...

I can see reduced throttle response, but reducing total output to 50%?

That’s interesting. It kind of makes 4Lo counter productive!
