    Let's Talk Turkey

    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...

    Rocker Arm Service bulletin D2

    Does anyone have a link to the service bulletin regarding rocker arms that was issued for Disco II"s ? I saw a copy of it once. I have had mine replaced under warranty, but I have a friend who has the same ticking and his dealer is dummying up about the issue, saying there was never a bulletin...

    Bias Ply Tires

    Anyone running Swampers or other bias-ply tires on their series? I am looking at several options for my Series IIA. Off-road performance is my number one interest with the truck, but I do not want to have to trailer it for longer trips. Anyone have experience driving relatively long highway...

    Labor Day Camp Out - Moab

    The Solihull Rally is bad timing for me this year. However, I am thinking of going to the Labor Day Camp Out in Moab. Hosted by Red Rocks 4-Wheelers same as Easter Jeep Safari. Same basic trails as EJS, but not so many yahoos. Anyone interested in going? Always nice to see another rover...

    Black Bear Pass, Colorado

    Is there a concensus of opinion on this trail? I have read some reports that it is white-knuckle and extremely difficult, and others that say it is not all that bad. I will be up in Ouray in July and would like to give it a go. cheers, Ted

    RRC County wheel base

    Recently I have been toying with the idea of a RRC. I saw a 95 advertised as a SWB County. I had always believed that all "County" versions were LWB. Can someone clear this up for me? Cheers, Ted Moyer 2002 Disco II 1965 Series IIA

    No Dakar on Television!!

    I can not believe that the Dakar Rally is not being televised in the US! Last year OLN had pretty good coverage. I searched OLN and SPEED and can't find it anywhere. And wouldn't you know it - an American - Robby Gordon- is currently in the lead. I sure would like to see some footage of him...

    Off Road in an LR3

    This past Saturday evening I had the chance to ride in an LR3 off-road here in AZ. During an AZLRO (Arizona Land Rover Owners) club run last weekend, we unexpectedly had 2 brand-spanking new LR3's driven by Land Rover Factory personnel show up for the run. Apparently they were in town to visit...

    Tires / Wheels

    Time for new tires for my series IIA. It is currently wearing 245 /75 - 16's which were there when I bought it. I kind of want the Tall & Skinny look and have been eyeing 235/85-16's. I see that super swamper sells a 34/9 - 16 which is about as tall and skinny as it gets - anyone run a tire...

    Adventuretrex fiasco

    For anyone who followed my thread on the "old" Disco Web regarding my difficulty in getting a refund from Graham Herbert of Adventuretrex, I would like to inform them that I did indeed receive a check from him last week. I am sure there was the proverbial "other side" of the story, but I still...
