Good question. One that others have pondered in the past, as well.

A couple months back I rented a Bronco Sport while traveling. Trailhead Edition? I was surprised to see that it had a selectable locking rear differential. But not, I think, low range. Sadly I was not in an area where I could try it out. In any case, interesting to see that feature on a...

If you're willing to reach deep into your wallet and have the patience for international shipping, the Melvill and Moon canvas seat covers from South Africa are impressive. I bought a pair and learned the hard way that they didn't fit my later D1 seats, which was a bummer because they are such...

$5 per copy plus shipping. Willing to deal if you want multiple copies. Will update post as inventory changes. Overland Journal issues available: Gear Guide 2024 Spring 2024 Winter 2023 Winter 2022 Summer 2022 Summer 2021 Spring 2021

This is where it began for me: Botswana, early 1980s. 1971 SIIa. Overlanding before it was a thing. One trip into the Kalahari sealed my Rover interest for life.

Styling on wheels is a highly personal preference so buy whatever you like as long as it's the right spec for your vehicle. My vote is to stick to something stock. There are plenty of excellent vendors who sell quality used parts, you might start with @WILL.TILLERY or Overland Imports...

I know they're not listed, but let me know if you come across any of these issues in the library. I'd take any and all. Summer 2020 Gear Guide 2021 Fall 2021 Spring 2022 Fall 2022 Summer 2023

I have a pile of Pelican Case interior foam pieces of various sizes for sale. Not sure what shipping will cost. 1500 case (I think) 3-piece unused set of lid egg crate, base, Pick-n-Pluck $50 1600 case lid egg crate $20 1085 Pick-n-Pluck $20 1485 lid egg crate $10 Random other pieces $5 each

Having replaced the lock springs in a couple of my doors, my experience is that the spring is the issue when you can see the lock plunger move up and down when operating the central locking but you can only open the door by holding the door lock with the key turned (or holding the plunger up...

This probably merits its own thread, but we're on page 56 of this one so why stop now? Ineos unveiled an upcoming smaller, electric 4x4 called the Fusilier. To be followed in 2028 by the convertible Cavalryman and the 2029 2-door Bugler. I made those last two up, but here's the photo and some...

Robby, if you want to come check out my LR3 as a point of reference (I'm not selling), you're welcome to take it for a drive and get a feel for what a well-sorted example is like. Might be helpful to inform your search. I'm in Mount Baker (Seattle).

Skip it. A more practical solution is a flexible mount for your phone/tablet so you can run your Gap iiD app, Gaia, and mobile navigational app of choice. Bonus: you get the storage space where the nav screen would be. $9,000 would be my max price for a vehicle meeting your criteria. My LR3...

WD-40 is not a lubricant. If you only lock your CDL once a year as preventative maintenance you should consider owning a different vehicle.

I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. Kennith also had irreconcilable philosophical differences with Chris Snell. He enumerated these to me in what can only be described as "Kennith-level detail" in a private message that I still have. Whatever the merits of his complaints may have been...

The first time I competed in the Northwest Challenge (photos and story here and more detail here), I was navigator in a D90 that had ARB lockers. Their operation was a source of distraction for the driver: turn on the compressor, wait for pressure, engage rear locker, engage front locker...
