    More HP.

    Have you thought about replacing the electric fan with the OEM mechanical one and OEM fan shroud? Might be all you need.

    Defender U.S. Duty/Tariff Rates

    I imported a military 110 (no rear seating) back in 2011 and paid the 2.5% rate. It looks like they are changing the rules to grab some cash from Ford. Hopefully US Customs and Border Protection will limit this retroactive duty determination to manufacturers. This sucks as I was toying with...

    So anyone actually 'Overlanding' in an NAS D90?

    Yup and people have climbed Everest without oxygen, which might actually be easier.

    Also, as for the hitch hanging down, that's not an issue with the MOD pintle hook.

    Keep your eye out for a Sankey trailer and build it out yourself. They have the same bolt pattern and track width as your 90, and will withstand a whole lot of abuse. I built a flip top for mine and put a big ass James Baroud on that. It's super comfortable, even in high winds. I'm into...

    Possible Moab trail closings.

    Patagonia is a big SUWA supporter.

    Possible Moab trail closings.

    The virtual public meeting occurred yesterday, I attended and learned a few things. It was confirmed that this is occurring because of the SUWA lawsuit, which in effect compels the BLM to "justify" the existence of every road in the travel management plan. After receiving public input, the BLM...

    Possible Moab trail closings.

    Very true. If I remember right this is coming about as part of a settlement of a successful lawsuit brought by SUWA. SUWA is not interested in compromise, they are more interested in blocking all vehicular access to public lands by filing lawsuits. Lawsuits backed by special interest groups...

    Possible Moab trail closings.

    The general trend in the NPS is to ban entry to private vehicles altogether, and put park visitors on shuttle buses. Those can be electric, of course.

    Possible Moab trail closings.

    I can't support any of those proposed closures. Most of the routes included in the proposed trail closures are mineral exploration roads that have been there for nearly 70 years. Over use could be mitigated by implementing a permit system, particularly in the heavy use seasons. This has been...

    Need 200tdi oils filter housing

    Pretty sure there are two different kinds, one for the "bulb end" oil cooler lines and one for the o-ring oil cooler lines. I might be able to help with the former if that's the one you need.

    door top storage

    They make different sizes to accommodate full doors versus door tops, and they also make bags to put the entire top in, etc. The one in the link is the correct one for door tops but you can cross reference here (same part number with better description)...

    door top storage

    I use a bag made for Jeep door tops. Surprising how much cheaper they are. Then again, maybe it shouldn't be surprising. But Rover door tops fit in these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013RGQZC?pf_rd_p=c2945051-950f-485c-b4df-15aac5223b10&pf_rd_r=5XQ08F5AYT0VRT45NV8E
