You can always do that as well, I have that option covered as a last resort. I am equipping my vehicle for overlanding for longer distances and periods than weekend or day offroaders usually set up for.

Alright, someone else agrees. I imagine your 33 mudder is heavier than mine too. I seem to get some silence at times, especially within the off road club I'm in when discussing the second spare. Could be they are mulling over the appeal of a second spare, or it could be they're just stalling...

The tires are LT tires Cooper Discoverer STT's and sturdy enough but clearly you have not heard of Outback TX-1 wheels on off road vehicles. They have a reputation as being very well made and also very strong.

Not sure many use these but my solution to carrying two spares...the roof option wore out its welcome.

Interestingly, I have had experienced mechanics say it looks build like 3/4-1 ton trucks. Hence my asking. I get how springs and load capacity are basic rating purpose but the drivetrain has other stuff beefier as well and that's what stuck in my head after hearing unsolicited comments from...

I just did the front brakes on my Land Rover a few days back and honestly I'm still recovering. It was about an 18 hr day on that, as there was SO much more involved than on a car. The rotors were bolted to carriers meaning the bearings etc all had to be removed to replace the rotors. The...

That Stryker unit is sweet looking. I find we are in many situations while offroading where a phone is impossible yet the CB works perfectly. I don't think they should be counted out just yet. Ham is a pain in the butt in my opinion and many offroaders are convinced they're the way. I guess I...

Just dropping by to update this trucks progress, it's had an interesting time especially due to being at a shop that did some things to it that required me to go elsewhere to put right. Seat covers spruce up the interior a lot, (not your local parts store variety) some more serious Cibie lights...

Nice wheel, but I am not personally a black wheel fan, I like to see the wheels. On trucks, not as bad I don't suppose, but I was a car guy first I say it turns exotic cars into ghetto-mobiles. I have Outback TX-1's on my main Land Rover....

They also took my advice when doing the pump to not drop the "full" fuel tank as the manuals say to do. If you pull up the carpet in the rear, there is an access panel through the floor and it can be done in situ. So the labor could have been worse, not to mention more dangerous with a full...

Please note, this was not photoshop, I think photoshop would have been easy by comparison. MS Paint is more or less like drawing the whole thing out. I ended up with an hour in one wheel, then hours on the body when I realized how long it was taking I decided to finish as to not waste what I'd...

I have no idea on the window regulator but it could be fallout from whatever went wrong with the drivers door, necessitating the window to be down to reach through to the door lock. Anyway, I purchased a new window regulator and they agreed to install it with no labor charge, still cost me the...

You did notice they are tan in the camo pic then, right, and not still silver...? I think in reality they would not appear as shiny as I did them, I took every reflection in the silver wheel, and turned it into a variation of tan. Probably should have made them a bit more satin looking would...

Had an idea after someone planted a bug in the brain about camo schemes. I usually don't go for them but wanted to know what one would look like if done with constraint, leaving bumpers, door handle etc alone. I did this in MS paint. The red shot is the way the truck is now. I say...it looks a...

Still in the shop getting a lot of things tended to including a valve job. They tried to send it home with me but it more issues than it did when delivered to them. Rethinking the future use of this shop... I pay over $2500 for the work they did (I provided a lot of the parts too) and...

Keep in mind, there are also Bilstein, Koni, Eibach, Belltech, Rancho, Skyjacker, Procomp...KYB are about average from what I've read.

I gotta ask, what's up with all the Dodge/Mopar stuff on here. Isn't this site for Trucks only, not 'Mostly Dodge'?

Sponsored by Arizona Land Rover Owners, this show is at Rov N Techs, 15455 N. 83rd Way, Scottsdale Arizona, Saturday 12 Nov from 10am-2pm. The only show I have heard of where owners were not necessarily encouraged to clean their vehicles for the show :-)

I saw this..."We are a community of American Brand Pickup Truck and SUV owners" so I believed it. Anyway, if you don't see it as barging in, and it was not intended that way, I will take your above statement as an invitation then. Thanks! And....what the hell...from the silver truck, I put all...

Thanks. I must apologize for something I JUST found out. This site is for American Brand trucks! We were invited by the Lincoln vs Cadillac site (which I have left for good) to review this site and I never saw anything stating it was for a specific type of truck. Anyway, I'll bail and apologize...
