There's an election?

TTT 57 trucks registered. We have some great swag for the raffle - Including a new Superwinch and hundreds of dollars in gift certificates. Also, Rovertechs is sponsoring the cocktail party Saturday night. Weather in AZ is perfect for wheeling right now. Cheers,

Come wheel in AZ this October. 2nd Annual Rally sponsored by Arizona Land Rover Owners. Last year we had about 60 trucks (nearly all local) This year we expect more. Good mix of Scenic, Moderate and Difficult trails. Rally Central will be Gold Canyon Golf Resort (For you Golfers stay...

I had Timm Cooper do the disc brake conversion (Defender calipers) on my '65 series IIA. I am very happy with it. If you have a Series III there is no issue, if you have a Series II you will need the Series III brake tower assembly which are hard to find in the US. I ended up buying one in...

We pull a two-horse slant load trailer (with two horses) with our '02 Disco II and it SUCKS!!! I am searching for a 3/4 Ton for just this purpose. You can do it - but be prepared to go no more than 40mph uphill. Also, be prepared to go through discs and rotors like crazy. As has been...

The double-clutching thing is not too hard to master. Also, it is only 1st and 2nd gears you have to worry about. 3rd and 4th are synchromesh. Considering that with the low gearing on a Series, you can actually start out in 2nd gear from a dead stop, the only real double clutching that has to...

Okay Aaron - It has been pointed out to me that I was kind of an A**hole about this. :D It is a nice looking rig. Cheers, Ted

BWAHAAAHHAAAHH! Yep - bet they do just great. If you don't take them off road. Course you're going to break an axle if you ever do get off the pavement. WTF??? And you swap out to Swampers when you go wheeling? Sorry to be a dick - but why the F**K would you put 35's on a D2 - just...

Chicago Don - Since you put this exact same post on the PBB you can read my reply there. :rolleyes: Cheers, Ted

I don't have a name for my Disco II per se but I have the Navigation package and have it set to the Female Voice, British Accent - we have taken to calling her Moneypenny. " Prepare to turn left in 100 Metres" " Thanks, Moneypenny" I sometimes refer to my Series as Nigel. Cheers, Ted

I ordered some stuff from the online boutique last year. No issues other than you have to pay in Euros, so you can really only estimate what will be charged to your card. Of course the Euro has dropped against the dollar since then as well, so the prices are technically a little better. Just...

. WTF dude - It is their website - not a public utility. I seem to recall this nonsense with the infamous Dweb Lounge. There are only several hundred four-wheeling sites on the web. Go use one of them if you think Axel/Ho/Kyle aren't giving you your props. :rolleyes: sheesh. . Thanks...

Okay, I got my wild turkey via UPS today. It looks kinda skinny but good. Actually still had some feathers clinging to it. Not so much fat as those strip-mined turkeys from the grocery. Any suggestions on cooking it so as to not dry it out too much? Besides smoking it that is? :) cheers...

Parts alone are only about $300. cheers, Ted

I had mine done by Bill Rhodes of Bill's European in Santa Fe for $1K parts and labor. 100% LR Genuine parts in the conversion. Absolutely no warrranty problems from my local dealer. Cheers, Ted

I don't know KVT and have had no business dealings with him. So I wanted to stay out of this thread. However, as a mostly lurker on this board, I have to say that I have a rather perverse sense of dissapointment that when Kyle resurfaced he no longer had his infamous "Blow Me" sig line. Just...

I disagree and say look for a pre-'68 series IIA. It is just much cooler with the headlights in the grill rather than the wings. Also, the transfer case is rock solid and you get the sweet independent motor windshield wipers. Nothing wrong at all with a series III but a series IIA just looks...

Okay, Thanksgiving is coming up and I would really like to get a good wild or free range turkey for the table this year. Not one of those sawdust-fed turkeys they strip-mine in a poultry plant and inject full of brine, urine, or whatever the hell it is that makes a bird gain 16 lbs in 5 weeks...

Technically I suppose I started smoking when I was 12. However, as the child of a two parents who smoked, I suppose I really started in utero - or in the words of Mark Twain, I was "Born asking for a light." By college I was up to 1-1/2 packs a day. Plus one pack at night if I went to a bar...

Very well said.
