    Child seats in RRC

    Rico, any info would be great. The twins are 4yrs old and can do boosters (presumably at the ends). The 1yr old is in a car seat (presumambly in middle - forward facing) with a tether anchored somewhere in the back. uberhahn

    Child seats in RRC

    F!ck. Not the answer's I was hoping for. This is turning into a "may need to look for a Tahoe/Suburban" discussion with the missus.

    Child seats in RRC

    Sadly, I have a minivan already... The RRC would be the "camping" vehicle. Plans are/were to review a LWB on Friday. Ideally, the LWB would tow a small camping trailer every once in a while (like a pop-up) and my son and I would use it to get away from the girls on the weekends. There's...

    Child seats in RRC

    Anyone have any pics of child seats in an RRC? I'd like to fit 3 across. Recently, I inquired about SWB vs LWB for family/camping duties. The "brain trust" spoke highly of LWB, so that's what I'm pursuing. If anyone can show me their child seats in the back, it would help my cause greatly...

    Considering pre-95 LWB or SWB - Opinions please

    This is what I was looking for. I found a local guy with a SWB. I actually followed him to a local gas station and asked if I could look around, sit, etc. He was on his way back from a local off-road park and was more than happy to let me take a look. Based on the initial review, it seems...

    Considering pre-95 LWB or SWB - Opinions please

    Can anyone comment from personal experience the livability difference between LWB and SWB? Yes, I understand one is bigger... Have you owned/driven both? Given similar setup, please comment on the actual benefits of LWB extra room, etc. Functionally, is a SWB "too small" with rear passengers...

    Condensation in headlamp 01

    condensation as in some fog on the lens, or pooling water? Heat from the bulb will typically dry condensation, but it really depends on how much water you have.

    Block Heaters?????

    Though for a different application, check out http://www.tdiheater.com. Made for VW Diesel engines, it's the only inexpensive heater that actually circulates coolant. Should be able to modify and fit on a disco. I have one on my TDi Jetta. I set it on a timer for about three hours before...

    Someone buy this 89 Classic trail truck

    ebay pulled the auction. someone accessed a bidder's ID and placed unauthorized bids. In order to avoid this, ebay suggested placing restrictions on bidders, such as mandating a paypal account, etc.

    300Tdi manual --> V8 3.5 auto ?

    diesel LR3 in the US? I'd love one! I'll never have the opportunity, though. None of the small ford diesels can pass emissions. The CrossLander was supposed to be introduced with a small ford diesel. Still hasn't passed emissions.

    300Tdi manual --> V8 3.5 auto ?

    unbelievable... when will diesel finally start making a mark on the U.S. market? I'm tired of the 250mi fill-ups.
