Figured I should update some photos of George, my 1995 Discovery 1! He's up to ~212.000 on the clock now and is running better then ever after some recent work. Also for fun, I put together a short video about him, which can be found here! (https://youtu.be/CxRdhSOBo5c)

A quick note about carrying tools, its pretty important to have actually used the tools you carry. I carry out all my maintenance, repairs, and upgrades using only the tools I have in my rover. If I can't work on the rover in my driveway with those tools they certainly wont work out in the...

Broke 200,000 miles on my last trip! And currently prepping it for flooding and mudslides predicted for the next two days.

My first time up to bald mountain, a beautiful location and fun trail. edit: The oil stain on the rock is surprisingly not from my rig, despite it being a rover :laughing:

Reviving this thread here, I am making an impromptu trip up to sierra national forest, and was wondering if anyone has information regarding if bald mountain trail is open.

In my experience I have had the rear-end step out on my rover (full time 4wd keep in mind) when running at street pressures and higher speeds on nice dirt roads if I hit some soft stuff. The first time it happened it caught me off-guard until I figured out why it was stepping out, I figured out...

Everyone is always surprised by just where a 2wd can go offroad. I have driven with a couple of bone stock 4cyl 2wd Chevy s10's up in my local mountains and have only had problems when we were trying to get them stuck! (For recovery practice of course...). Your rig is plenty capable for a large...

From what I understand, while it won't be ideal, some water in the diffs, transfer case, and transmission won't be too much of an issue for slow speed, just as soon as you are on dry land flush all the diffs and what not. The only thing is that if you have a manual transmission, the clutch can...

Tested out its roll-over angle in San Fran

Just finished a rescue mission to get the Rover from St. George UT, where it blew up it's transfer case, back home. Towed it back on a uhal with my good friends 05 Tundra. Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

One of the reasons why I love my 3.9 instead of the 4.0's, just a simple distributor!

My multi tool is also my daily work tool in theater, I started with a Letherman Rebar but wanted something a bit heavier duty so I got a Victorinox SwissTool. Great tool, and every person who has used it has been impressed with its quality, I highly recommend it.

Headed up into the mountains for the day after installing a new fan clutch (Finally solving my overheating issues on long hills) and fixing my door latch

Ranges from 14ish mpg on the freeway at slower speeds, 10.5-11.5 average, and the worst I have seen is 6-8mpg while sustaining 80+ mph into a head-wind at altitude.

Its just acting up because it has to be seen sharing a driveway with a jeep!

Headed out to Pismo to enjoy the mountains, food, and dunes (where I got my admission paid for by a cool 4 runner). While in the dunes I recovered a Jeep, some atv's and myself after slipping into a bowl... I had my doubts, but Maxtrax are fantastic, I might pick up another pair or two. Sent...

I don't personally own one of these, however after seeing them used in person and reading reviews, everyone seems to love them. They fill tires very quickly and should have a very good build quality.

Mine is actually vertical in my D1 Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

Not my biggest one, but first pretty large lesson I remember is during my first time running the Mojave road. It was in the first few miles and I was driving down the power line access road at a reasonable speed (40-45) when I came over the crest of a small mound and saw the washout right in...

Bad news, despite all the work to make sure that the trip worked with everyone's schedules and having nearly all the logistics figured out, I have to call off the trip. To many issues came up suddenly in this last week to have the trip still work out... While i'm pretty bummed about having to...
