    LWB Classic Front Wheel Hopping

    The poly bushings are cheaper and easier to install, but the handling is far far better on genuine and that handling lasts far longer than poly bushings. . . Just my experience over many years and many miles of running a Rover as my daily driver.

    LWB Classic Front Wheel Hopping

    I add another vote for swivel pin preload. My 89 was doing the same and I had it fixed in 45 min by removing a couple of shims per side. With that said, there's hardly an old Rover that can't be improved by replacing the bushings throughout, if they haven't been done. Go genuine, not the poly ones.

    Running transfer case with low fluid

    Well, it's safe to say that countless LR transfer cases have been run low and continue to this day. If it hasn't seized yet, add oil and continue on. . .

    Suckers: Your Bucket Is Ready

    I agree that the Coleman is superior. Why then, did you buy the Snow Peak? Another great stove, my first backpacking stove back in 1981, is the Svea 123R, perhaps too old for most of you here. . . Anyway, pump it up and it even works great at high altitude. Beautiful brass. . . A legend in its...

    1993 RRC won't start

    Get a factory manual (RAVE) and run through the ignition diagnostic sequence until you pinpoint the problem. Don't just throw parts at it.

    Well, I wouldn't say it *all* depends on maintenance. . . .

    Discovery lifespan.. considering a high mileage disco

    Actually, if a D2 engine has lasted that long, it's probably one of the good ones.

    Kneeling NFL players

    Look back in time, those akin to Bernie Sanders a hundred years ago were pushing an eight hour workday and they won it. Who is speaking against that now? The truth is the truth whether you want to admit it. Argue all you want, but history has shown that the conservative if the moment is a dying...

    It's only a matter of a generation or two before there is single payer. The writing is on the wall. Remember the wisdom of Mark Twain: "The liberals of today are the conservatives of tomorrow."

    Kneeling NFL players

    Amen. The so-called Oath-Keepers said they were coming to support the Sioux but never showed up. I personally witnessed the North Dakota police taunting the Sioux via loudspeaker with chants of "Ten Little Dirty Indians". Despicable. I saw warriors, women and men marching unarmed trying to...

    And by the way, I am also a U.S. Army veteran, and there were countless other veterans who went under the gun to support the Sioux at Standing Rock. I would say we all know what the flag really means as much as any other American. And I took my 17 year old daughter with me because I am raising...

    It's not about talk. It's about action. Above all it's about education. Discussions like these are good for both sides, even if they won't admit it openly. I went to Standing Rock and stood with the Sioux because I wanted to learn for myself. I think I learned some things that were not possible...

    Transcending those things means treating everyone equally. That's tough for a country who's original sins are slavery and the destruction of Native Americans.

    Kneeling NFL players

    I understand your point, but I'm pretty sure that the same argument was used by the British loyalists in the American Revolution, and Nazis when they ordered German soldiers to load the cattle cars. . . Countries are not flags or anthems in the end, they are people standing for the values for...
