I’m another vote for the iPad. I switched from PC/Android years ago and have never looked back for many of the reasons already mentioned. PC/Android are the way to go if you love to tweak and fiddle with that stuff. Apple is what you get if you just want it to work. I’m on an antique iPad 2 with...

I use 2” Velcro straps. I want to be able to use the rack for Home Depot runs, so I didn’t want anything permanent sticking up/out. I don’t leave my shovel and axe on all the time, so I don’t worry about UV deterioration and the 2 inch are WAY overkill in terms of working load so I know they’ll...

But the discussion is within said circles.

I used wingnuts with lock washers on my hi-lift, hasn’t come loose for me.

We’re glad you cared enough to read this thread and join the conversation.

You weren’t wrong, I just think it’s funny how it feels the worst from in the vehicle. It looks like even less steep if you take a picture of it!

I would remove the “almost” and it’s still a true statement.

Sounds like a drill and a properly sized grommet is your answer then. And don’t forget the fuse.

I don't know the Terrain at all, but do you have a positive post in the interior fuse box? Some older GM vehicles had that. There are also the "add a circuit" piggy back adapters that you could use. These give you the option of switched, or non-switched, depending on what you need power for...

I was out today on a trail right near my house, I was traveling on a section that left me feeling uncomfortable with how much I was leaning. This got me thinking, how do I know what is unsafe and what is OK? Obviously there are many variables depending on the rig and how it's loaded, but how...

Smittybilt X2O 10k and a hi-lift. I bought the smittybilt because I too am usually out solo. I don't do stupid stuff, but it came in real handy this spring when there were still significant snow drifts at altitude. When there's a 2 foot deep drift 20 feet long and clear road ahead I felt...

I was told by a shop owner friend that the synthetics have smaller molecules than the dino oil. He told me it was very common for an older vehicle to start leaking after switching to synthetics (which I always do) when it has run conventional oil all it's life. It could be the smaller molecules...

Valid points, and I am FAR from an expert. The information overload can make your head explode when you are just getting started. I only brought up the "cost" because of the way @Baipin worded his post. He said he didn't want to invest in HAM just yet, but was willing to buy a locator beacon...

If your friends use it then it’s worth having. There doesn’t necessarily have to be much monetary investment in HAM. I just passed my technician license, it cost me $14 to take the test. Certainly your time is worth something, but that’s the biggest commitment in getting your license. The radios...

This completely depends on who is around you. When I lived in Minnesota CB is what we used vehicle to vehicle. Now that I’m in Utah, CB is nearly useless. No one here uses it on the trail and it doesn’t reach far enough for emergencies.

I agree with this statement 100%. Land Rover is the brand everyone else loves to rip on. Life’s too short to drive a boring vehicle. I’ve put nearly 25,000 miles on mine this year. There was some neglected maintenance when I got mine, so I’ve put some money into catching up with that, but it’s...

If your interested in a budget friendly roof rack that (I think) still looks ok, check out this write up I did on mine. https://landroverforums.com/forum/lr3-28/diy-frontrunner-style-roof-rack-90792/ It cost me maybe a couple hundred bucks and a few days time.

Has governor Dayton weighed in on the project? We know what happens when he doesn’t get his way!

Where did I bash you? The whole point of that long drawn out reply was to express I wasn't trying bashing you. It was point and counter point. No personal attacks. I'm sorry that I called you a fanboy, I thought I clarified that statement. It was a poor choice of words and was meant to convey...

Meh, I enjoy debate.
