its pictures like these that might just tempt me away from land rover ;-). really nice build.

Hi Expedition north. It was humorous and I loved the video and definitely recognised myself in it. I thought I responded in a humorous way, including emoticons to show I was jesting. Sorry if you thought I was being serious, I truly was not. All the best. John

those words cut deep :yum:. Still as a land rover owner, with a roof rack, spare wheel on the roof, fridge, inverter and a few other things captured in the video, I reckon you can't be talking about me as I don't have 35 inches wheels (although if anyone knows if I can put some on I would be...

I bought a cheap 12v fridge in the UK (£90) as I could not justify £800 plus on an engle or similar given how much I had already spend preparing for my recent trip to the spanish pyrenees. It worked a treat and kept the beer cold, as well as the various meats we had for the BBQ. For water, I...

same here, now defender no longer made they are sky rocketing in price. Disco 1 & 2 much more affordable, but even the latest LRO monthly magazine says they are good investments, alongside a number of others like the early range rover. All going up in price and likely to outlast many standard...

love it. wished i had the mechanic skill to do what you have done. lots of other land rovers, range rovers and jaguars in the pics. are they all yours as well? latest land rover monthly magazine says early discos are now increasing in value, as are the defenders. is that the case in the...

Just finished watching Mark Dorion trip up north from you. looked awesome. Expedition overland video was also amazing. Lucky you is all i can say. Enjoy the planning and the trip. take lots of pics and don't forget to post them here so we can all follow along. :smiley:

Could not agree more. A few times on my recent overland trip to spain, we had to pass a tractor or logging lorry. We were on a narrow track with a sheer drop at the side of us. Needless to say, each time we had to pass, we were the ones on the cliff edge. That risk, led to adrenaline, which...

Wow I thought I was well travelled. when you look at the map of the world and plot where you have been, you realise just how much is left to explore.

Nice looking D3. Love the LED install you did, very discreet and yet so bright. Will be adding a second battery to my D3 with split charger, inverter and extra charging points. Love the rack - I have the cut down version. Dont bother paying for the D ring accessories. I needed 4 recently...

2138 - thanks very much

Fozroamer, just read your blog and came across the reference to drifter for improving the components that come with the RV tent. Thanks for posting this. My tent bags zip has split, so I currently overcome this by turning my tent upside down so that the zip is facing my rigs roof. But a...

I agree. I have the RV4 and tag a long tent which is great for my family of 6. easy set up, very tough and reliable. Well made and in a recent thunder storm that trashed a number of tents, ours was not affected at all. Nice setup Fozroamer

Hi Robert, A little closer to home, I am in the UK. Noticed your posts and would love to take part. I would bring my land rover discovery 3 with me. A good chance I might be able to drum up a few other land rovers as well to tag along. I would need to bring wife and kids with me, although...

I agree with Wolfy. We have 4 kids, 11, 9, 7 and 18 months. Guess which one was unexpected :yum:. We take them camping a lot and have a routine for the 18 month old (girl). Each night at six we put her in her pyjamas (this is the first sign that bed time is close), then she watches a BBC...

Love this thread. banter is great and clearly a lot of toyota lovers on here. as a land rover driver (i know i need a reality check but I just love the green oval) I have to point to a youtube vids of a land rover pulling out toyotas. . even when its out it still needs further help. ps -...

not a bunker type prepper either. although as a brit, 1776 was not a great year for us :smirk:. Glad to see that since then we have become close as nations. Self reliance and taking actions which reduce risks of everyday activities is second nature to me and something i do daily. As many...

I use motion X. lets you set waypoints with GPS locations and then download maps for the area you are travelling in. Worked brilliantly in Spanish Pyrenees, Costs £1.49 and the map downloads are free.

Hello everyone. My name is John and I am based in the midlands area of the UK, close to the peak district national park. I am a novice to overlanding. My overland rig is a 2007 Land Rover Discovery 3, although I also have a Discovery 4 but do not take that off road (well except once when i...
