    Sahara Crossing

    Morocco ferries have been running for over a year now, just not the ferries from Spain. Current access is via France or Italy on a long and expensive crossing. Then you need to add in to the equation that if you travel from France its a List B country so if Vaccinated you need a PCR test timed...

    WTF Covid.

    So theres a highly transmissible virus that has the potential to kill 2% of those infected, yet its just a scam to depopulate the world by giving them a vaccine? Why not just let the world carry on as normal and let the virus do the work? Much like the lies of the Brexit capaign the COVID...

    WTF Covid.

    If that link is true (and its well worth looking at how VAERs operates before you blindly believe its information) thats 0.008% of the people who have recieved the vaccine compared to a death rate of 1.8% for people who contracted COVID 19. In simple terms catching COVID is 225 times more...

    Injector Swap

    @Rob Cowell how have your injectors faired over the years? Looking at doing mine in the next couple of weeks and commonraildiesel seem to be quite a lot cheaper than other sources. Also looking at the parts diagram on partsouq it refers to type A and type B injectors, anyone know what thats...

    Took over a metal fabrication company, what products would you guys like for your cruisers?

    The 120 and 150 series have masses of kit over in the US (Lexus GX470 and 460) and a lot of the manufacturers are showing more innovation than the normal ARB type stuff. Recently Acayx in Madrid have produced some interesting stuff. Might be worth having a look at whats on offer and getting...

    Who needs a LC for overlanding? Just hop on the next bus....

    The french were running bus trips to North Africa back at the early parts of the last century, long before the hippy trail. Dragoman and Rotel Tours have been running overland bus trips for a long time as well so its nothing new. Not my cup of tea though

    Our J95 land Cruiser not known to Insurers? Plus the Quality of the Turbo

    Mine did 170k miles on the original clutch and the original turbo is still good at 240k miles. My replacement clutch is still good after being replaced, if yours are only lasting 50k miles than maybe there's something wrong somewhere

    New Bronco

    Its based on a entirely new chassis that Ford will use on future Rangers, its also likely to get a Diesel in the future from what I've seen. Fords build quality has improved hugely over recent years in europe, not so sure about the US Lot of good features on it put above the Jeep for the US...

    Window tints

    Tint is normally specified by %light transmission. Front legal limit is 75% and windscreen 70% unless registered before 1985 (Limo tint is normally 5% light transmission) Most vehicles now have factory tints to some level but as the law only covers the front you can do what you want on the...

    Slow forums

    As I reported the problems I had were across windows, IOS and android devices using wired, wireless and 4G connections on multiple different networks (BT wired and wireless, EE 4G, Orange Maroc 4G, Maroc Telecom 4G and various hotel and campsite wifi networks). It also didn't matter what browser...

    Ineos Grenadier

    Article says £40k, so its into 70 series territory. Will be interesting to see how it pans out

    Brake pistons seizing

    You can fit the 150 brakes to eliminate some of the 120 brake issues, very popular with the GX470 guys in the states

    Off road tyres

    For methe coopers simply don't have adequate puncture and sidewall protection. Over 100k miles 80% off road on BFG's one puncture from a nail dropped in a campsite and survived some serious sidewall damage from sharp rocks. Cooper AT3's 2 punctures within a 10k miles, the last was an acacia...
