letters to the editor Dear Rovers North,

I was reading the article “From the Desert” in the last issue of Rovers Magazine. I enjoyed reading and seeing the pics from their travels on the old Mormon Trail. I was watching something on the SyFy Channel and an ad came on for a new series called “Destination Truth”, which showed a Defender 110 with the same roll cage and hard top configuration as the Defender in the article.

I know the article said they were doing filming for a show called “Beyond the Lane”, but is there a chance that this 110 was also used in the SyFy show, too? Maybe the roll cage and hard top are common in 110’s but it was the first time I had seen such a set up and the next thing I know there is one on a TV show.

Jonathan Speed March Roanoke, VA

Dear Rovers North,

We purchased our 1994 Defender 110 County SW in March 2010, and decided it was time to take it on a road trip.

We crossed Lake Champlain and arrived in Burlington, VT, and called on Rovers North with Ian’s wish list. We enjoyed a friendly welcome from Steve Haskell. It was nice to see the guys as well as the array of vehicles including a Range Rover Classic and a new Defender with the Puma engine (it’s a shame we can’t get them in North America). It was rewarding to see and meet everyone rather than just using the internet. We’re looking forward to our next road trip.

Ian and Sarah Jeffery Mount Pleasant, Ontario, CANADA

[Thanks for taking the time to include Rovers North on your 1,400 mile journey. It was a pleasure to meet you and see your “new” Land Rover –ed.]

Dear Rovers North, [The roll cage, or “safari cage” as LRNA called them in 1993, and the alpine window top were standard on the 500 NAS Defender 110’s imported into the North American market. Officially, you could have any color you wanted as long as it was white. This model is highly sought after by Land Rover enthusiasts –ed.]

Dear Rovers North, As I was enjoying a quiet moment, reading a recent issue of Parenting Magazine, my 6-year-old daughter, Lilly, came in to see what I was doing. I explained that I was reading an article about car safety. As I turned the page she pointed and shouted, “Range Rover,” just as she usually does when we are driving. My husband and I are avid Land Rover enthusiasts. Apparently our hobby is rubbing off on our daughter; we are training her young.

Heidi Perkins Buxton, ME [Given Lilly’s appreciation for Land Rovers, Maine’s future is assured –ed.]

What is happening on getting Defenders in the LRNA lineup in 2012? My ’87 Range Rover is hanging on, but just barely, and I do not like any of the new models.

Rex Stratton Vashon Island, WA [The current Defender, L316, commonly known as “Puma” does not meet current DOT or EPA regulations and there is no intention to homologate it for North America. The JLRNA business plan consist of luxury models only. So that is all we will see until possibly 2015 when the all new Defender is rumored to debut. –ed.]

[Steffan and Alexandra Sailer, Metzingen, Germany, continue their nature photography travels by Land Rover around the world. Here’s their story from the American southwest. –ed] rovers magazine / 7

hen we arrived at Los Angeles International Airport from Australia, we faced two daunting tasks. The first involved presenting ourselves to U.S. Immigrations to determine the length of stay permitted on our visa. Although we had received a visa from the U.S. Embassy in Australia, the actual dates could not be set there, yet all our travel plans depended on that decision. Once we presented ourselves and unveiled our travel and photography plans, we found ourselves with a one-year visa to visit the USA. We were thrilled by this decision!

Our next task involved freeing our Land Rover Defender from its container in Long Beach, CA. U.S. regulations would require us to pay a hefty fee unless we could get an exemption from the EPA for our Rover. While our

shipping agent had warned us this might take several weeks, during which the Rover would be laid up in expensive storage, the EPA responded to our request within four days and we could then wend our way through U.S. Customs regulations. Those took two weeks, and to top it all off, both Steffan and I contracted a virus of some sort that laid us low. Finally, we mounted our roof tent, packed all our gear in their assigned spots, and turned west on Highway 10 towards Arizona.

While Steffan was feeling better at the time of our departure, I continued to feel worse and worse and upon arrival at Organ Pipe National Monument, we decided to stay at the very nice campground until I was feeling better. After three days of bed rest, I felt well enough to discover the enchanting environment of this part of the Arizona desert. Over the next three days we photographed

mountains, cacti, birds and other wildlife in the already slightly green desert.

Our Defender then took us to Tucson and Saguaro National Park, and then into New Mexico, via Las Cruces and Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Carlsbad Cavern is an incomparable realm of gigantic subterranean chambers, fantastic cave formations and extraordinary features.

The first adventurers entering the caverns had no idea what to expect as they walked, crawled and climbed down into the darkness. Although today’s visitors know many of the wonders of Carlsbad Cavern the experience of exploring its chambers remains every bit as exciting.

The “Big Room”, 8.2 acres of must-see features, can be

accessed by a natural entrance by a trail that descends 750 feet into the earth, or by an elevator built into the rock.

The “Big Room” includes formations labelled the Chandelier, the Totem Pole, the Caveman and the Hall of Giants with their gigantic stalagmites. Completely awestruck, we left the caves and returned to the sunlit surface.

Our next destination at the northern end of the Chihuahuan Desert was White Sands National Monument just outside Alamogordo. The glistening white sand of New Mexico rises from the heart of the Tularosa Basin to form one of the world’s great natural wonders. These great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square

miles of desert here and created the largest gypsum dune field in the world. Spending sunset and sunrise in this amazing environment was a truly exceptional experience.

After having spent the night with other RV’s at “Camp Walmart” in Alamogordo, we headed to the valley of the Rio Grande near the town of Socorro. Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge provides one of the most outstanding opportunities to see wintering snow geese, sandhill cranes and other birdlife in huge numbers. From November to February, several thousand geese and cranes gather to spend the winter here. We were just in time to observe migrations from different locales, so even more birds than usual filled the skies. We stood in awe as thousands of snow geese took off right overhead.

After several days, we left Bosque with a heavy heart and headed past Santa Fe to Chimayò, a little village at the foot of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. We drove into the high mountains in February because we’re huge fans of the American Westerns. We visited Sanctuario de Chimayò, the little church San Jose de Garcia near Las Trampas and arrived finally at Rancho de Taos. This little village is very picturesque with ancient adobe-style houses and the mission San Francisco de Asis at its centre.

From Taos, we headed on westwards into Bandelier National Monument in the beautiful Jemenez Mountains, This park preserves outstanding Pueblo ruins occupied for nearly 500 years until the late 1500s. A walk through Frijoles Canyon lead us to the outstanding cliff dwelling called ‘Long House’ with its numerous windows carved into the cliff.

After this spiritual trip into the past we headed on further west into warmer regions. The last few days we had been constantly above 7,000 feet where it was very cold and also had a lot of snow. The cold weather and freezing night temperatures caused some problems for the Land Rover. For the last two weeks it had problems with starting and only after cranking-up for several seconds did the cylinders finally go to work. Since Steffan knew that sometimes a defective diesel filter can cause this problem, we changed it right there. Unfortunately, the problem persisted and, after checking all possible connections and seals, we were at a loss for an easy explanation.

Travelling past Farmington, we headed about 30 miles south to the Bisti Badlands Wilderness Area. There we enjoyed countless formations of clay and rock in amazingly crazy shapes. This locale is remote and not particularly well documented so it sees very few visitors and conveys a great feeling of solitude. We explored the wilderness on foot, photographed several arches and delicate “wings,” numerous hoodoos in all shapes and colours, the “cracked eggs” as highlight. We also found a “flying turtle” and a “Miss Piggy”.

After spending three days out in the wilderness, we headed into Arizona and the Navajo Tribal Nation.

10 / rovers magazine

At Kayenta we turned north again into into Monument Valley Tribal Park. We took a self-guided 20-mile tour through a fascinating landscape of sand, dunes and rock formations like “The Mittens” and “The Window”. The poor state of the track, with its deep ruts and steep sandy ascents, made it difficult to perform the drive without a high clearance vehicle, yet we know of quite a few people who did it with an RV—amazing! After Monument Valley, we visited other sites in Arizona like Canyon de Chelly National Monument with its famous White House Ruin, Petrified Forest National Park and the Little Painted Desert County Park with its amazing colorful Badlands.

We then headed still further west on US40 towards Flagstaff. After crossing the bridge over Little Colorado River and seeing a lot of water there, we decided to drive another 20 miles over bad washboard roads to the Grand Falls of the Little Colorado River. There we witnessed Opposite: Huge flock of Snow Geese in Bosque del Apache Wildlife Reserve, New Mexico Santuario de Chimayu, New Mexico - Adobe-style house in Rancho de Taos, New Mexico - “Cracked Eggs” in the Bisti Badlands Wilderness Area in New Mexico Above, clockwise from top left: Monument Valley Tribal Park, Arizona - Roadrunner foraging in Petrified Forest NP, Arizona - Grand Falls of the Little Colorado River during snowmelt, Arizona Seligman, Arizona

torrents of muddy water raging down the cliffs. The spectacle of these falls only occurs for a few days in the year, either during snowmelt or after a period of intense rainstorms. The rest of the time, the Little Colorado River resembles only a trickle of water or dried-up riverbed. We were treated to a rare sight and even locals came out in huge numbers to witness the spectacle.

Back on the interstate we headed into Flagstaff and turned then south to Sedona and the Red Rock Country.

Movie producers, ad agencies and calendar publishers made certain that the world has seen view of Sedona and its red sandstone monoliths in prints or video. As we arrived, we soon realised, that we were too early in the year. Most trees were still bare and the huge amount of water in the rivers restricted access. Nevertheless we headed into Red Rock Crossing and took some shots of Cathedral Rock in late afternoon light. Then we enjoyed a quick side trip to Route 66 in Seligman, a small town that has preserved some of its 1950’s charm and even a “wild west” district of historic buildings.

We had two reasons to enjoy Las Vegas; the first is the same reason everyone wants to experience “Sin City” and the second was to visit Land Rover Las Vegas. All fluids, rovers magazine / 11

including brake fluid and oil, needed to be changed, and we hoped they might have an insight into the starting problem. When we drove up in front of the dealership, we caught their attention immediately. Before we could even go into the shop, a few employees gathered and asked questions about our pretty unusual Defender. Some of them had never seen a Defender before!

The cost of the service seemed high to us, but we enjoyed a couple of days soaking up Las Vegas’ special atmosphere of money and entertainment.

We left Las Vegas happily—we’re not really city people— and ventured out into the desert to enjoy the early spring blooms. Oops! When we reached Death Valley, the rangers told us the season had been too dry for wildflowers this year. We headed further south on our hunt for wildflowers; the Mojave Desert, Joshua Tree National Park, and Anza Borrego State Park in California were also barren due to weather. However, the rangers at the last park advised us and soon we found a sea of daisies, verbenas, lupines and poppies stretched before our eyes. We even found some rare Desert Lilies and a couple of bright pink blooming Beavertail cacti. When we were not photographing flowers, we searched for colorful hummingbirds which fed on ocotillo blooms. We liked it so much, that we stayed for two weeks and camped free in the desert. At this time of year it was rather crowded, but the area is so extensive that we still had enough space to be on our own. We also met some nice other campers and spent some great evenings sharing food and conversation.

Next we headed further north towards the Sierra Nevada. In the vicinity of the pretty village of Lone Pine, the Alabama Hills Recreation Area provided the location for numerous Western movies. To reach a good position at Wilsons Portal Arch to get Lone Pine Mountain framed in the opening, Steffan had to climb up a rock ledge and balance there precariously close to the edge. It looked pretty dangerous, and I was very happy when he returned to safe ground.

From Lone Pine we headed eastward into Death Valley National Park with its astounding variety of geological features. The 11,049 ft. Telescope Peak, a frequently snow-covered mountain just west of Badwater, guards the entrance to the park. At 282 feet below sea level, Death Valley is the lowest point in North America. As we wanted to visit ‘The Racetrack’, a pretty remote area in the National Park, we choose the Hunter Mountain Road as access road from the west. The road is 4-wheel-drive only and the Land Rover had absolutely no problems, including in the snow (shortly after we heard that it was the first day the Hunter Mountain Road had been open since winter).

Then came a stretch of deep washboard that went on for miles and miles—we were really afraid for the car. We finally made it and parked in front of The Racetrack, where rocks slide mysteriously across a dry lakebed, leaving

behind long tracks for visitors to ponder. Nobody knows for sure how the rocks are moved, but scientists think it might be a combination of rain and wind. After a cold night camping out in the wilderness, we made our way to the Mesquite Sand Dunes. Looking forward to seeing the famous Grand Canyon, we left and headed east into Red Rock Country.

A steady climb brought us from below sea level to 7,000 feet above sea level on the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. We checked into the campground and the next day we went on exploring the South Rim by car. We were awestruck at the sights awaiting us at the many viewpoints. The dimensions are just amazing: the height-difference between the South Rim and the Colorado River is 5,000 feet and the canyon’s width stretches 10 miles in average!

During the day, the weather got worse and worse and in the afternoon very dark clouds gathered above the canyon.

Then suddenly, the heavens opened and a blizzard struck with full force. Within minutes, the road was covered with snow while we were on our way back to the campground.

It cooled down a lot and at night we were again thankful for out Eberspaecher heater which kept us warm and cozy.

In the morning, it had stopped snowing, but we had a thick layer of snow and ice on our car. We left reluctantly, still amazed by the sheer size of this geological wonder and headed on further north towards the town of Page situated at the shores of Lake Powell. It was our dream to see all these natural wonders for years and now the time had come when we could finally do it.

It’s a touch pretentious for an event to label itself with a roman numeral (remember Super Bowl I?) but The British Invasion in Stowe, VT, this September deserved its XX rating. For this 20th year a thousand British auto enthusiasts gathered to fib about the reliability, durability and leakiness of their cars. As befits the export pattern of the British auto industry, the vast majority of the cars present were sports cars—MG, Triumph, Austin Healey, Lotus, Jaguar—but nearly 50 Land Rovers came from around New England, New York and Canada.

For my chosen Land Rover, the QE I, my ’66 II-A 88” SW, the event presented the excuse for required maintenance, a badly needed wash and wax, a sweep out of the floors, and a general cleanup of work tools and equipment from the rear tub. First came the call to Rovers North for an oil filter, followed by an oil change, a grease job and the emptying out of my 10 gallon hypoid oil bucket. It was also a great time to tighten up all the bolts I could find underneath the car.

“We do like to be by the sea side.”

Les & Annie Parker in the “Tailgate Competition”.

18 / rovers magazine

As usual, my work schedule and a crowded ferry meant that I had to arrive on the mainland first before I could wash and wax the car. This required a stop at the bank to get enough funds to purchase cleaners and waxes at a nearby auto parts store. I also discovered that Rustoleum makes a pastel almond spray paint that matched up beautifully with the painted wheels on my Rover.

Of course it rained most of the next day during my 6-hour back-road drive from Maine to Vermont, negating much of my cleaning effort. The drive reminded me of the joy of touring in your Land Rover; only a few long, steep hills slowed the car very much. With nearly 400,000 miles on this engine, I could only marvel that it ran as well as it did. The weather improved as the weekend progressed and the stunning cars and boundless enthusiasm of their owners made up for the early rainstorms.

Happily I quickly connected with enthusiast Kevin Murphy, Ridgefield, CT, and his Range Rover Classic.

We decided to jump into my Land Rover, grab some dinner and head to Stowe village to watch the Beatles tribute band performing on Main St. By dint of pure luck I found a parking spot along the street, right behind a neat Lotus Super Seven. After the band concert we found the owner of the Lotus peering over the hood, wondering why turning the ignition key produced only a “click.” I dug my flashlight and a multimeter out of the Rover and determined he had barely 12 volts at the battery. Since a Lotus Super Seven weighs about 5 pounds, it was a cinch to push it, pop the clutch, and listen to it roar back to life.

The multimeter now confirmed that the alternator output was zero. As he took off back to his hotel to charge up the battery, a cop watching us could only shake his head in amazement.

On Saturday morning I found about 50 Land Rovers, again pushed to the rear of the field, amongst the 600 British cars in attendance. Mike and Sally Coleman, Topsfield, ME, had driven 10 hours in their RHD Land Rover 110 with its “go faster” color scheme. Mike Capozza, Portland, ME, had taken his considerable restoration talents to a spectacular II-A 109” Station Wagon. Peter Lovanella, Stowe, VT, entered both his restored ’95 Range Rover Classic and his NAS Defender 90 in the “People’s

The Land Rover lineup at the 2010 British Invasion

Choice” competitions. Paul and Maura Memont, Georgetown, MA, had driven their Series Rover V-8 hybrid.

John Vallerand, Greene, ME, had barely finished reassembling his II-A before driving several hours to the event; the multiple paint schemes indicated where the work had stopped prior to the drive. Dan Foley, Milton, VT, drove his stunning Series I. Rovers North did a brisk business with their Waxoyl line of products, answering a lot of technical questions for customers and enthusiasts, and enticing a lot of British car buffs by displaying their Defender 110 fleet export model.

Sunday featured a “Tailgate Competition” during which RN’s Les Parker (and his wife Annie) decided to recreate the splendor and excitement of foggy cold water beaches in Blackpool or Whitby. With his rolled up pant legs, rugby shirt and English do-rag, he looked every bit the proper soccer hooligan. He offered to sing the music hall lyrics on the poster behind his Lightweight, but I (wisely) declined his offer.

I found I was not alone in delaying my departure later that day; hundreds of enthusiasts hung around at the end of the event, either enjoying another day in the Green Mountains, or slowly making their way home. Once again, the moment I departed from Stowe I did not see another Land Rover—or any British car—on the road for the entire drive.

The good news for enthusiasts is that Series Land Rovers, Range Rover Classics, Discovery I/II, and even Range Rover P-38A s were engineered for repairs in remote locations.

Still, repairs and maintenance remain daunting or impractical for some enthusiasts who prefer or require skilled mechanics to work on their cars. As these models age out of the dealer network, how do you find mechanics with sufficient product knowledge to effect reliable, cost-effective repairs so you can use your Rover daily?

If you’re not interested in maintaining or repairing your car yourself, it’s good news that some enthusiasts have decided to open new shops devoted to Land Rovers. Ed Starr opened Resurrected Rovers in Chocorua, NH, specializing in Series Land Rovers. Carey Knause and T. J. Copeland, Warren, ME, started Downeast Coachworks to repair, restore and upgrade Series Land Rovers. Kevin Murphy, Ridgefield, CT, will work on restorations and repairs on any Land Rovers. I’m certain there are many more start ups in other areas of the U.S. and Canada; let me know via the Rovers North Forum so enthusiasts everywhere will know of your energy and talents. Thank you, congratulations and best wishes for your success in your new venture!

Wired magazine selected out the “10 Best Winter Cars” for their Autotopia site. Despite the fact that, “it has a Brit heater and you’ll probably freeze to death, the Defender has a lot going for it. Lightweight body riding on a super-robust frame. Stout suspension and four-wheel drive. And if it breaks down, most repairs can be made with a rock and a pair of Vicegrips. If a Land Rover was good enough for Marlin Perkins, it’s good enough for you.”

If you’re already looking forward to Spring Break, Winding Road magazine put the LR4 on its “Top 10 Spring Break Cars.” As they wrote, “One for the guys only. We can’t explain the phenomenon, no matter how much we try—all we know is that ladies love Land Rovers. The fairer sex seems to be inexplicably drawn to Landie branded products, and our guess is that the spring break vibe will only enhance this effect. LR4 is now the cheapest way to get into a Land Rover (women assume the LR2 is some kind of Toyota), and conquer the lady-hordes. Go with god.”

BURKE’S CORNER H O L I D A Y

text & photos: Bill Burke

Bill Burke, Frutia, CO, is one of America’s foremost off-road instructors through his Four-Wheeling America program. For more information, contact Bill at 970-858-3468 or at www.bb4wa.com –ed.

Few topics excite off-road enthusiast as much as debates about tires.

Last issue’s column focused on construction and sizing; let’s turn to ratings and tire pressure.

Other than sizing nomenclature, many other letters and numbers on the side of a tire tell us information.

First look at pressure and load rating but with this disclaimer: tire pressure depends on vehicle weight, type of tire, type of driving and original equipment [OE] standards for vehicle and tire construction, as well as your personal preference for what you think feels good on or off the highway. Not surprisingly, the best starting place is the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Pressure and load rating are related. Load range for most LT tires runs from C up to E. Tires we put on our rigs should be in the D and E rating. It takes X amount of pressure to carry Y amount of weight. For example the KM2 on my D90 is rated E to carry 3,750 pounds when inflated to 80psi. Essentially I can roll the D90 along on 2 tires [I’ve had it up on two often enough!] if I wanted since it usually weighs just over 6,100 lbs. However Land Rover suggests I inflate to 35R/28F [rear/front] and when off-pavement 30R/23F for the 30 / rovers magazine

OE tires. Again, just a starting place; I prefer to run my tires on the interstate at 45R/42F; around town, 35R/F; dirt road camping; 25R/20F, for the big rocks; 14R/F. Generally speaking, I can run 40psi and easily carry the weight of the vehicle within specifications of the tire load rating of 7,500 pounds relative to 40psi for the above mentioned tire. So, we see where Land Rover gets the 35/28 pressure for vehicle handling, safety, skid control and load ability based on the GVWR of the Defender 90. Tire pressure is affected by temperature and atmospheric pressure. Run a tire down the interstate for a couple hours driving to the trail head, air down to 20psi for the dirt road get to camp and park. Next morning when you check the tires for the trail they are all close to 17. Same thing for making the drive up to that mountain pass at 12,308 from the valley floor of 4,200 feet. Hot days, rainy cool days, snowy sleet days all have different pressure effects. So check the pressures regularly.

Speed rating is not as significant for most Rover owners. Rolling down the highway at a high rate of speed with an oversize tire and lightly sprung rig doesn’t really mix well,

especially with custom trailing and radius arms on a coiler, or in a Series 1 88”. If you have a newer, stock Rover, speed rating takes on a greater importance. A Range Rover Sport does like to stretch its legs some so having a V or W speed rating makes sense. Adding air can help increase speed rating somewhat. For example, a T rated tire gives a max speed at 118 mph with 100% load capacity.

Add 1.5psi the rating can go up to 124 mph and still maintain 100% load. Most of the hefty tires we run are normally rated a Q which is a max speed of 100 mph. Make sure your tire is rated for the vehicle speed you desire to tool along on the interstate.

S: 112 mph T: 118 mph U: 124 mph H: 130 mph V: 149 mph Z: Was the highest rating in the 1980s at 150 + mph With the advent of new sports cars that well exceeded the 150 mph barrier, the tire industry adopted a few new speed ratings: W: 168 mph Y: 186 mph Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS) To help consumers compare a

passenger car tire's tread wear rate, traction performance, and temperature resistance, the federal government requires tire manufacturers to grade tires in these three areas.

This grading system, known as the Uniform Tire Quality Grading System, provides guidelines for making relative comparisons when purchasing new tires. You also can use this information to inquire about the quality of tires placed on new vehicles as Original Equipment.

Note that ratings such as Tread Wear, Traction and Temperature might not appear on LT rated tires.

The UTQG system is not required for truck tires because they have a slightly different rating and designation used.

For example the Load Index for a P rated tire might be 95, but for an LT it can be D. And the speed rating will be associated with the P rated load index—IE: 95H and the LT might have a speed rating listed after the Service description. For most mud/snow tires it is usually Q, but there are some that are T. You will see the UTQG associated more with Passenger tires.

Tread Wear is a 3 digit number with the higher being harder tread—or

longer lasting. A 400 rated tire should last twice as long as a 200 rating.

Traction grade is related to how quickly, in distance, a tire stops a vehicle on wet pavement. Letters from “AA” to A to B, C etc., alphabet ratings. The “AA” is the highest rating.

Temperature Rating is a letter as well. A - being the best rating. Ratings are relative to proper inflation, speed control, loaded conditions and driving habits. All affect tire temps.

You will notice a theme here; keep tires properly inflated and observe load capacity. It is also wise to rotate regularly, and proper balance and regular alignment checks are all key to long tire life and safe vehicle handling characteristics.

Of course when we “air-down,” we push the limits of tire dynamics. So we should be closely monitoring our tires after the rough trips up the rocky canyons. We run 12psi in Pritchett Canyon then air up to 45psi and run 75 mph back to Denver and expect 35,000 miles of good service!

As they say: “There is a lot riding on our tires!”

Other numbers on the tires you may see will be the freshness date stamp.

Along next to the DOT stamp is a series of numbers that tell the place of manufacture, who made it, what plant and shift and a 4 digit number that reflects the week and year it was finished. IE: 1510 would be the fifteenth week in 2010. This is something fairly new in the past few years to help protect consumers from purchasing tires languishing on some dusty warehouse shelf from some shady dealer telling you they are just off the shelf and still new.

So instead of just kicking the old tires make sure you inspect them often, inside, underside, top and bottom. Purchase a quality air gauge for the inflation pressures you run. I carry two, one for highway pressure and one for off-pavement pressure. I check them against each other and other gauges to ensure correct readings.

Next I’ll get into some of the monitoring devices (TPMS), deflators, filling with air versus CO2 versus Nitrogen, and actually checking pressure correctly.

See you on the trail.

London to Capetown the Rest of the Story

text & photos: Raymond Greaves [Raymond Greaves and his girlfriend Nereide left London in January for a six month drive to Cape Town, South Africa, in their 2004 Range Rover. Here’s part two of his remarkable story. –ed.]

38 / rovers magazine

What faces the Trans-Africa driver when he enters Kenya has become the stuff of legend amongst overlanders.

The 300-mile stretch between Moyale, on the Ethiopian border, via Marsabit, to Isiolo near Mount Kenya is generally referred to as, “The Worst Road in Africa” or simply, “The Road to Hell”. This is due to the unhappy coincidence of two factors. First, the horribly rocky and corrugated road will try to shake your car to pieces and shred your tires—unless it is raining, during which it's virtually impassable.

Second, you’ll enjoy a high risk of bandit attack. Moyale, a total dive stuck in the middle of hostile territory close to the Somali border, seemed the perfect town to leave. For this section of the trip German friends in their Defenders joined us. We anticipated taking two days to cover this section, stopping the night at Marsabit—but Africa has a habit of upsetting best laid plans.

The road actually exceeded out extremely low expectations. You settle into a speed that offers a compromise of actually reaching your destination that day but not destroying the car. In our case this meant 150 miles of driving at 10-15 mph. Driving between 8am and 8pm, we didn’t once get out of second gear. Outside temperatures exceeded one hundred degrees all afternoon, but the magnificent Range Rover, making progress without complaint, kept us cool inside.

Somehow we found Henry’s Camp at Marsabit in the pitch black. We got the torches out and inspected the car to see how it had stood up to the day’s punishment.

The Range Rover itself looked unscathed, although the tires showed signs of doing battle with the rocks.

Unfortunately one of the roof rack’s front mounting brackets had broken under the strain and the opposite one looked only moments from breaking itself. As a result, the rack had collapsed directly onto the roof. One of the German Defenders had broken both of the rear shock absorbers. Clearly we would have to stay a day in Marsabit to make repairs.

Back on the road we found ourselves near the end of a four-year drought. Although, there had indeed been thunderstorms and torrential rain the previous night. Road conditions deteriorated from a firm dirt surface to a soft, sticky, red mud. With four-wheel drive actually being essential here we made decent progress, having rather good fun as the cars got plastered and demonstrated their

off-road credentials. It was clear that with only a few more hours of rain the previous night we would probably be getting stuck and having to dig ourselves out.

All too soon we were back to rocks, corrugations, general rough stuff and the 12 mph average speed. We passed through the Losai National Park and then into the Samburu region. The people of the Samburu are a tribe that still lives traditionally (like the Maasai) and we watched with fascination as they herded their animals by the road side, dressed in brightly colored traditional costume. As expected, the Rangie in raised-suspension mode easily handled the very bad ruts. In other places we simply left the road altogether and drove into the sandy, and much smoother, adjacent land, saving us precious kilometers of rough road.

And then it happened.

Tarmac. You cannot imagine the feeling of joy after two solid days of crawling along awful roads. Smoothness. Quiet.

The dizzying heights of 50 mph. Progress.

Happiness. (We later found out that four days after we passed through the rains did start, heavily.

They washed out bridges and made the road impassable. We had very close shave here!)

Things continued to improve. The scenery got greener and we saw an elephant in the bush by the side of the road. Beyond Isiolo, everything became surprisingly normal all at once.

Not only were we driving on the ‘correct’ side of the road but there were road signs in English! Petrol stations and their pumps had English signs so for the first time in ages we would be certain about what was going into the tank!

As we headed towards Mount Kenya and the equator we steadily rose back to 6,000 ft and the countryside became rolling, green hills. The whole effect made us feel oddly like we were back in the UK. At Nairobi (“Nairobbery” as the locals affectionately call it) we made our first big service stop, 7,500 miles into the journey. Land Rover still has a strong presence in Kenya and the main dealer in the capital has a large, well equipped workshop. What’s more the service manager, Mike Dunlop, was very interested in our trip and keen to help, even letting me oversee the service in the workshop.

A thorough inspection of the car revealed nothing particularly untoward. It got a thorough clean, change of oil and all filters and a couple of new bushes in the front suspension. They had survived 90,000 miles, but the rovers magazine / 39

Northern Kenyan roads had finished them off. I also took the opportunity to further reinforce the roof rack.

Driving to Uganda highlighted Kenya’s road crumbling network. Kenya has some of the largest potholes I have seen anywhere in the world, from a couple of feet wide to six feet wide. Accidentally put the car in one of these and it won’t come out the other side.

We drove to the southern tip of Uganda where it borders Rwanda and the Congo. This direction would let us track gorillas high up in the Magahinga Rainforest. Fortunately we saw a troupe consisting of two silverbacks (dominant males), two mothers and two babies and caught some stupendous pictures and video footage. There are only 600 of these gentle giants left in the wild and the Congolese allegedly continue to poach them. We fervently hope that extinction is not inevitable but the signs are not good. We trudged back down the mountain, reflecting on one of the most incredible wildlife experiences we have ever had.

On the way back to Kenya, we suffered the only puncture of the entire trip. With a huge rip in the treaded section of a tire, it had simply given up from repeated attacks by sharp stones and was irreparable. I was keen to keep two useable spares at all times so called Mike Dunlop in Nairobi for advice, and here we had another huge stroke of luck. Mike so liked my Goodyear MTRs he had ordered a big batch for his customers and the stock had just arrived! (So much for all the warnings that we would not be able to get spare tires in Africa).

Heading south to Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia and into Southern Africa, our travels gradually became easier.

Tanzania has decent roads, but they are littered with vicious speed humps and policemen. We were stopped for speeding no less than four times, but were able to talk and charm our way out of all fines except one. Another policeman at a road block did try to directly bribe us for cash. After sitting around for a while playing dumb, we gave him some chocolate and drove off in disgust.

Tanzania makes a great holiday destination and indeed, here we bumped into the regular American and European tourists for the first time. I completed a long held ambition to see the Ngorongoro Crater, all the more satisfying to drive up it in one’s own Range Rover. Driving around the crater rim we enjoyed a fabulous view of the Serengeti and on the crater floor we enjoyed some of the best and closest game.

The borders from Kenya onwards proved less onerous and from Malawi onwards the roads improved so much that to our delight, we could drive at 60 mph again, something we had not been able to do since northern Sudan. We did not stop until we reached Victoria Falls, right on the Zambia-Zimbabwe-Botswana border. Rains seemed to have been remarkably good across all of southern and eastern Africa that season and the mighty Zambezi was thundering over the falls at a 50% greater rate than 40 / rovers magazine

normal. A truly spectacular sight, it worried us slightly, too, as we would have to take a ferry across this river to reach Botswana.

The Kazangula Ferry from Zambia to Botswana was probably the last chaotic and “properly-African” part of the journey. The ferry was a rickety affair with two ancient and smoke-belching diesel engines literally hung off either side and threatening to fall off at any moment. With only the capacity for one truck and two cars, the engines really struggled against the insistent current of the croc-filled Zambezi. There were moments when it seemed that it would not make it, but the African “cope-against-allodds” mentality eventually got it to the other side.

In Botswana and Namibia we breathed a sigh of relief.

We found comfort in supermarkets, cash machines and regular fuel stations. It suddenly became easy to find accommodation, food and drink of a western taste.

Essentially these countries are “South Africa-lite”, with all the facilities you could need but still with amazing African landscapes and wildlife.

The roads through Botswana and Namibia were excellent across huge distances. The Range Rover really shines in these circumstances, the air suspension cosseting and the seats fantastically comfortable. Even after all day in the saddle not once did we feel any aches or pains. The air conditioning coped fantastically in all circumstances, but the killer feature is the hugely effective dust filter. It really works—virtually no dust or grit got into the cabin throughout the entire journey, aided by very effective door sealing. Seeing the inside of other overlander’s vehicles made us appreciate this fantastic feature.

We had mixed reactions about reaching South Africa; excitement with a tinge of sadness because an incredible trip was now in its closing phase. After a 4,000 mile lap of South Africa visiting friends, relaxing and enjoying the key sights, we finally arrived into beautiful Cape Town on 15 May, 18 weeks after leaving London. In fabulous weather we could see the iconic Table Mountain from 30 miles out. After an incredible journey it was slowly dawning on us—we had achieved the dream: we had driven from London to Cape Town.

Yes it is possible to drive a showroom-spec Range Rover through Africa. It had fairly breezed through 17,710 miles and 19 countries, through some of the roughest, toughest and most remote places on earth. It used no oil or coolant.

Only the parking sensors failed us when we reached Cape Town, probably because of the dust and grit. I’m sure you

will agree this was a virtuoso performance by the Range Rover and, for me, easily makes it the most complete and capable car in the world. Bravo Land Rover.

hen I first heard photographer Paul O' Boisvert's voice on the phone, his energy poured into my right ear and exited out the other, completely sweeping me away with his idea. I knew the finances for Beyond The Lane, our six-part documentary on adventuring with Land Rovers, were tight and that this photographer had too much talent for my budget. Still, his proposal for a “Vermont Rte. 100” episode sounded so terrific.

Three weeks later, our team from Colorado had traversed Vermont northsouth with Paul, endured hearty Northeastern snow conditions with Mike Hopwood, learned how to unstick a snow cat courtesy of a class with the 4x4 Center, skied Okemo Mountain with host Scott Clarkson and been blessed by the great nature of Vermonters. We managed to do what we do best at Beyond The Lane—take our fleet of Land Rovers on the road to discovery and make new friends. This became easy with the first call I made to Rovers North.

46 / rovers magazine

I’ve been a retail customer of Rovers North, relying on my Defender as a production fleet vehicle. The opportunity of visiting Rovers North while in Vermont gave me the chance to meet Mark Letorney, whose product knowledge, persistence and tenacity kept Land Rover parts in a country in which few enthusiasts own and maintain Defenders, Series Land Rovers and early Range Rovers and Discoverys.

Arriving in Vermont, we prepped our vehicles at Rovers North. I was really amped up as this was the maiden voyage for my newly acquired 1993 NAS Defender 110.

First, we planned on spending a day in a winter driving class led by the 4x4 Center’s Mike Hopwood, who had been a member of the Rovers North Mt. Washington Winter Climb. Then we wanted to enjoy the sights on Vermont’s winding Rte. 100 and head to Okemo Mountain for skiing—sounds fun right? We had Paul O' Boisvert’s Range Rover Sport, Erik Dalton’s Defender 110, a 2003 Range Rover HSE and a Defender 110 owned by Rovers North. This was going to be pretty sweet to film.

Let's back it up and start by saying that the “plan” did not do justice to the week. The “winter driving lesson” with Mike Hopwood opened with us “hitting a trail for the day.” To Mike it meant ramming Land Rovers into the endless snow to create a trail for the day; finally, against all odds, we dug a snow cat out of thigh deep snow, battling snowflakes the size of silver dollar pancakes—there was no Vermont maple syrup to sweeten the task.

Shaking off the snow we headed south along Vermont Rte. 100, which runs north-south along the mountain ridge of much of the state. Paul O’Boisvert, a Porsche Carrera speed addict who has a claimed 182 mph drive under his belt, led the way down the winding two-lane road in his Range Rover Sport. Did I mention we were in stock Defenders while trying to keep pace with Paul?

This guy can shoot and drive!

Land Rover driving, off-road and on the road—this was certainly the most entertaining way to experience winter that I could imagine. It wasn't until we reached Ludlow, VT, and visited the Okemo Mountain ski area that I came across the only sane person we met, Scott Clarkson. Lo and behold, here was someone who knew how to properly use a vehicle in snow—by staying on the road and driving it to a ski area. We enjoyed a great day of skiing with Scott and then headed to Burlington for our flights back to Colorado.

What was it like driving in the snow with Mike Hopwood? What were Mark Letorney’s thoughts on Defenders? You can follow the Beyond the Lane adventure on the cable Documentary Channel or at www.BeyondTheLane.com. Join us in the adventure!

WHEELERS

for the

WOUNDED text & photos by: Peter Kallodaychsak [Peter Kallodaychsak, Spicewood, TX, organizes a lot of off-road runs as the Austin Event Coordinator for Texas Rovers, but this event clearly speaks to his heart –ed.]

ight years in the United States Marine Corps taught me what it means to be separated from your family for long periods of time. I know what it feels like to wonder if anyone back home thinks about you, searches for news on your unit, stands in support of your mission. Last May 1st wounded veterans and their families received their answer at the “Wheelers for the Wounded”.

Marble Falls, TX, a small community nestled in the Texas Hill country, grew by several hundred as nearly 700 volunteers came together in support of 1,000 veterans and their families at Hidden Falls Adventure Park. This 3,000 acre off-road park offers trails for full size vehicles, ATV’s and motorcycles. Trail difficulty ranges from stock to extreme, therefore everyone can enjoy the park. Other amenities include a shooting club, paintball primitive and RV sites with hook-ups.

“Wheelers for the Wounded” attracted enthusiasts from multiple off-road clubs to donate their time, rigs, and money to spend the day taking our veterans and their families wheeling through the park. While all marques have their specific events like SCARR for Land Rovers, The Jeep

E

56 / rovers magazine

Jamboree and the Bronco Rally, at this venue it’s all about people of like minds coming together as a team to support and thank those who personally sacrifice for our nation.

The wounded warriors arrived from local military and Veterans Administration hospitals thanks to donated bus transportation. They’re honored by a drive down a flag-designated path and disembarked to the music of a local high school band and the appreciative applause of the volunteers. After a hearty breakfast, we introduced the range of off-road opportunities to them and described the several different categories of available trail runs. Many wounded veterans could not endure the more difficult trails and rough ride due to their injuries, so we offered a wide range of trails. Based on the individual families desire, vehicles are pulled from the line-up and our warriors begin their day of enjoyment on the trails.

I found it rewarding to receive a thumbs-up on the trail from a veteran, hear their stories and speak with the families as we wheeled through the park; it was equally compelling to witness the support provided by the volunteers and their families. At an event of this size, the drivers and their vehicles comprise only a small portion of

rovers magazine / 57

the volunteer force. Hundreds of people prepared three meals for the 1,000 attendees, coordinated the myriad details and entertained the kids through face-painting and a moon bounce.

Members of the Texas Rovers drove veterans and their families over numerous trails and volunteered their time in support of the many other activities at the main campground. It also provided a valuable life experience for members’ children to donate their time and effort on behalf of something larger than a trip to the mall or spending a day with friends.

At the end of the day we rested, hot and tired. Some of the rigs in the main parking area showed off their wear and tear from the day’s trail runs. Our final assemblage under the main tent included retiring the colors and bidding our farewells to the veterans we met throughout the day. I felt certain that every volunteer present committed themselves to participate in next year’s event.

Texas Rovers will return next year and in the meantime will host a fundraiser to help the project cover some of its cost. Having participated in several charitable events I can say this is by far my favorite, and would encourage all to see what you can do to help support our troops. Semper Fidelis.

Sightings

The new Sightings arrived hard on the heels of the last issue of Rovers Magazine, which means we have a lot of repeat Sightings this issue. Nevertheless, we thank and congratulate all the readers who take the time to let us know when Land Rovers appear in print, on the screen and online.

The Colgate Wisp ad mentioned the last issue continued to entice Sighters.

We want to credit the latest viewers: Gordon Gunn, Chester, VA, John Alden, Aurora, CO, Rolf Scumann, Townsend, WA, Nathaniel Covert, Troy, NY, Bill Smith, Arvada, CO, Derek Leath, Frontenac, MO, Robert Wollschlager, Omaha, NE, and Richard Betts, Kennebunkport, ME. Michael Bondmass, Las Vegas, NV, Valencia Bowmann, Orange, VA, and Rolf Schumann, Port Townsend, WA, spotted a Defender in Warehouse 13.

Chris Runnels, Bellingham, WA, spent considerable time around the television to send us a list of 13 programs and advertisers that have featured Land Rovers. Many have been mentioned in previous contest entries (House, Law and Order, Burn Notice, Survivor and others) but his new one was a Range Rover Classic in TNT’s Dark Blue. Jeffrey Austin, Chesapeake, VA, saw the same Range Rover in the same show. Jeff also spotted a Range Rover on a street skit on Saturday Night Live. Larry Simpson, Belle Plaine, KS, spotted a Series Land Rover in the previews for Walking Dead on AMC. We want to credit new spotters of past Sightings: Mike Archer, Victoria, BC, spotted a Series III in The Unit, Liz Miller, Union City, GA, saw a 109 on NCIS, and Jorge Arboledea, Apopka, FL, saw a Range Rover on CSI. Watching Stealth Ride on the Speed Channel, Dan Clark, Shelburne, VT, noted a Discovery in the background of one episode.

Jeffrey Austin, Chesapeake, VA, noted a white Range Rover owned by a scrapyard dealer in an episode of Scrappers. Covert Affairs often has 78 / rovers magazine

Land Rovers in episodes, notes Scott Peterson, Acworth, GA, Shawn Chummar, Beaverton, OR, Sherry Block, Hadlyme, CT, and Jeff Pearl, Wisconsin Rapids, WI. Allen Minner, Carnation, WA, noted a Discovery in a report by Anderson Cooper on 360. Patricia Jansen, Leesburg, VA, spotted a Defender 110 in a Jenny Craig ad commercial. Kristin Minner, Carnation, WA, noted a Defender in a Scotland setting on the Sam Adams beer commercial. Outback Steakhouses love their Land Rovers, as Eric Lindstrom, Des Moines, IA and Mike Bishop, Bremerton, WA, both saw the long-running ad campaign.

Movie producers know that Land Rovers make every movie look great.

Kevin Beyar, Staten Island, NY, watched the latest Wall Street movie and notes the presence of a Land Rover Defender. Todd Cannatelli, Lake Mary, FL, spotted a Defender 110 in the Norwegian film The Troll Hunter. Along with Jasper Conn, Snohomish, WA, Todd also saw a Series Rover in the trailer for the movie Carlos. Jonathan Speed March, Roanoke, VA, thinks he spotted a brief glimpse of a Range Rover in the trailer for the movie RED. Brendon Mahoney, San Francisco, CA, noted that Maid of Honor, filmed in Scotland, features a Series III 88.”

Jonathan Speed March, Roanoke, VA, watched 2012 and an LR3 fall into a sinkhole while John Cusack’s limousine does “what only a Land Rover could do.” Jonathan also watched a previously-mentioned Volcano, which featured a Discovery rescuing a female lead in the film. Margie Powers, Plain City, OH, watched the 1986 film Stand

By Me, with its Series II-A Land Rover.

Six-year old Lilly Perkins, Buxton, ME noted the rear end of a new Range Rover illustrating an article on car safety in Parenting magazine. Michael Libott, N. Hollywood, CA, noted an LR3 in an article in Professional Surveyor magazine. Martin Tuip [see Rule #6]

noted his son’s video game, Wild Earth: African Safari, included the hood of Series I on the box.

We’ve mentioned these in earlier issues, but we want to give credit to Sighters who find these recurring images of Land Rovers. The Boden catalogue cover features a family of four walking towards a Series III pickup someone is either walking or riding in the back Kevin Healy, Masspeaqua Park, NY, Rosalie Loewen, Haines, AK, and Sparky Kramer, Truckee, CA, spotted the Rover. Milton Milner, Hendersonville, NC, and Jack Nardone, Hampton, NH, were struck that the Summit Coat in the J. L. Powell catalogue costs about the same as an old Land Rover. Eagles Nest Outfitters include a Defender 90 in their web catalogue, notes John Milner, New Bern, NC. Patrick Parsons, Honolulu, HI, noted a 109 in the British gift site Pedlars, and hoped to get a mug to “replace the one my wife broke.” Sorry, Patrick [See Rule #2].

Eddie Bauer puts a Land Rover in most of their recent catalogues; Dick Newton, Charlestown, RI, and James Dargan, Plymouth, MA, spotted the latest use. Orvis also clearly enjoys its connection with Land Rovers and they appear in many issues of their catalogue.

Thanks to Josh Williams, Manchester Center, VT, Stephen Asher, Boise Idaho, Gregory Duckworth, North Myrtle Beach, SC, Jeff Pearl, Wisconsin Rapids, WI, John Karlsson, Hope Valley, RI, Ronnie Massey, Franklin, NC, Gordon Gunn, Chester, VA, Asa Pittman, Duluth, GA, Jeffrey Mukai, Mercer, ME, and Jay Bopp [See Rule #6] for spotting this latest edition.

Repeat uses of Land Rovers also appeared in the Woolrich catalogue, as seen by Jasper Conn, Snohomish, WA, and Dick Newton, Charlestown, RI. Dick, Julie Armstrong, West Des Moines, IA, and John Dargan, Plymouth, MA, also noted the Garnet Hill reprised a Land Rover in their latest

catalogue. Warn winches put a 130 Hi-Cap in their catalogue to show, “Land Rovers are work trucks first and foremost,” wrote Jeffrey Austin, Chesapeake, VA. Harbor Freight’s

catalogue has a lot of photos provider by their suppliers, and their website has several Series Land Rover photos, notes Bob Bernard, Paradise, CA. As Mark Fowler, Ripley, WV, wrote, “It’s no
