Sweet looking rigs, thanks!

I dunno, having something fast does have it's advantages, for me though they are outweighed by a slower mode of transportation. Don't get me wrong the distances we have to travel out West to get somewhere nice and back are vast and time consuming. However once I get there I want to slow down and...

I tend to agree it works for the Moon, I do think the real winner is Offworlding, especially when Elon sends me to Mars........ As far as the International Space Station goes it puts a new meaning to Space Camp.

Glad you at least had Carrizo Plains to fall back on. Sounds like a long day!

54 years ago, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin camped out on the moon for 1 night. It is not Overlanding, though it did require a landing...... Spacecamping? No fires allowed.

Welcome and what an awesome picture!

Sometimes they are called cubby boxes, you can try that when you search. I made mine out of sheet metal; Land Rover 109 w/200TDI, cubby box Might give you some ideas.

Hi Anne, Any relation to Mary Duffield who used to teach in Santa Cruz? I think my best advice to a newbie would be; learn how to use a map and compass and do not rely on electronics. As far as the whole bigger tires, lockers, rocksliders debate, leave them to the rock crawling crowd. One...

"Here, hold my beer!"

Hwy 1 closed on the southern end yesterday due to a sinkhole. The only free camping used to be Prewitt Ridge. I haven't been there since the fire a year or so ago. There are some spots on Plaskett ridge also. I just checked Nacimiento-Fergusson Road is still closed; Los Padres National...

I used to go into a nearby field and hunker down with my scope in the dark. Then my new interest in trail cams started to show nighttime visitors. Pic #3 is a bobcat to give a size relation to pic#4.

YIKES!!!

I can't answer your tow vehicle question. I can address the need for a winch though. I go to the desert and have been stuck. I've used a winch to pull myself out by both off a vehicle and my spare wheel buried in the ground with a stout steel bar behind it and the winchline going through the...

Years ago I bought a Sears Platinum AGM Marine battery(2012). It was around $250 then, exorbitant I thought at the time. 11 years later and it's still going strong. Mind you it is my only battery and doesn't run aux equipment. Though when I get around to putting in a dual system I'll try to go...

Sparksalot, more German than phrench, only assembled there. LRtime have a nice look at one;

OK, the Carrizo Plain can entertain for that time and has remote camping, check it out on GoooooooooogleEarth. Though it is South not North. As I said before Mendocino NF will get you off road, if you have never been there, Humbug Valley and up to Lava Beds NM via Mt Lassen or the Black Rock...

Hi Forrest, Welcome. As Advtres asks, where to? NE Calif is less populated, Mendocino NF probably the largest block of land. Are you in 4x4 or ? How long a trip? Nevada is nice to explore. Check out Advtres youtube videos for ideas. Or check out my blog...

Good progress! i just did a blog on how LR tie rod ends are made; Land Rover tie rod end, How is it made?

Kyle, isn't that vehicle all metric? I don't know anything about Discos.

1st thing I did with all my Land Rovers was stick a winch on them. It wasn't an option on the poll so I chose the next upgrade, tyres. They have come a long way since the Norseman Tru-Trac 10ply's I first ran! HOWLLLLLLLLL! But man they went places!
