President’s Letter

Club Leadership

Since this is the first official communication of the year, I will discuss the plans that we are developing for the Solihull Society during the upcoming year. This will include bimonthly Club activities and monthly expeditions once the snow clears. The first activity was graciously hosted by Land Rover Highlands Ranch with presentations by the Schriners, electric motorcycles and then discussions about the National Rally. The trail activity for April (6th) is the initial evaluation and training for Trail Leaders in preparation for Training with Bill Burke at the end of the month (27-29th).

Additionally, the Club will help sponsor the Schreyer Car Exposition Day “Shine with the Schrine”on April 14th. The monthly meeting in April was at the Le May car museum where we observed Adventure Trek Outfitting by Rob, Corey and Ted. This was followed by Brad Allen discussing plans for 360 degree picture at the 2012 Rally much like the 360 degree panoramic picture used to identify individuals at sporting event. Lastly I presented picture of a Medical Mission to Nepal. We used Rovers in our Safari in the Jungles of southern Nepal. It was a diverse evening of classic car viewing, trek outfitting and pictures of the world. The annual picnic was held at RMR (formerly Red Mountain Rovers) new site in Dumount, CO. It was a wonderful outing with a good turnout of 75 people and many families. A variety of new and old Series and Rover trucks were present.

The other key information that needs to be disseminated to the membership, sponsors and friends of the Club is the change of the dates for the National Rally. This was necessitated by the anticipated influx of people for the filming of the new Lone Ranger movie in Moab, UT starring Johnny Depp. There after much deliberation it was decided to change the dates to October 2-6th. This will be during a cooler time of the year, but I recognize that the many families will not be able to bring their children since this is during school. Under the direction of Rob Colombin, his wife Corey and son-in-law a Tim an exciting Moab Rally is being planned. We everyone will participate in this adventureful event sponsored by the Solihull Society. This year is the actual 20th anniversary of the Solihull Society Sponsoring the National Rally. We plan to honor the 20 year legacy of the Club event and many key members that made this event the Signature Land Rover Event in the USA.

Secretary/Membership Paul Donohue paul.donohue@comcast.net Trail Events Coordinator Rob Colombin & Ted Brenner rally@solihullsociety.org RoverXchange Newsletter Editor Brad Allen marketing@solihullsociety.org

The Club is a volunteer organization which has a long history of individuals supporting the Club. In this issue is a tribute to the X-change Magazine. This publication has tirelessly been edited and published by a longstanding Club member Tate Crumbley. His effort with many others has provided a quality product to members of the Solihull Society. I commend and thank him for his support and commitment to the Club. Over the next year Tate will limit his Editors responsibilities and the magazine will transition sorely missing Tate’s leadership. At the April meeting he was awarded a “Lifetime Membership” for his years of service. We are always in need of volunteers and would be interested in anyone willing to help.

Marketing Director Brad Allen marketing@solihullsociety.org

The Solihull Society is a Club of enthusiastic Land Rover lovers who provide service, protect the environment and plain enjoy the outdoors in their Rovers. Please join in the planned activities throughout the year. We also need volunteers for the events throughout the year and the National Rally. Suggestions and ideas are welcome and I can be reached at president@solihullsociety.org.

Leader the

of

Pack

By Rob Quaife

A wonderful spring weekend on the western slope of Colorado was the setting for the 2012 Trail Leader training the end of April. The training was led by long time Solihull Society member and sponsor Bill Burke. His years of four wheel drive expeditions and treks have spanned multiple continents throughout the world. One notable expedition was a Camel Trophy participation in Africa. He trains enthusiast to government professional sin safe back country driving and recovery techniques.

Our day began with familiarization with the potential types of equipment we as leader should expect to see on the trails in Moab at the 2012 Rally. From original Series 88,90,109 trucks, Classics, Disco I & , Defenders 90 &110, P38s and newer LR2,3s, Sports and Wide bodies.

Understanding the vehicle helps the leader ensure the vehicles are placed in 4-wheel drive and locked in for back country trails. Also the type of ground clearance depends upon the differential position( the lowest point and on the right for most except the independent suspension new vehicles where the A arms are the lowest). Once we

covered equipment differences it was off to the terrain park for real driving experience (in and off-road vehicle park).

After “ airing down” and a quick lunch it was off to the next gully to drive up the wash and test “roll over feeling” and obstacle clearance with each of the varied vehicle on the exercise. We soon learned the differences in turning radius descent and ascent angle. The task was more formidable for the Disco II compared to D-90s, LR3, and Disco I. The most important part of the “testing” was making it to camp in Bang’s Canyon. A 45 minute drive through a boulder filled trail, through

major sandstone steps and up washes we could finally rest for the day in a beautiful ridge hideaway. Travel to an from camp without vehicle damage was a challenge, but a clearly exhilarating experience.

The following day the morning the day began with a hill that ascended to the heavens, but no soon to fall as the LR3 started to buck near the top hill while the engine was fully wound up. A solemn “ Oh no look out” was the second key that things were not right. Sliding rather than backing up was the source of the first teachable moment for the day. Bill calmly approached the vehicle directing the driver, “put the transmission is reverse and completely let off the brake, regaining control to back down the hill and try again. “ On the second try with the foot through the floorboard in second gear, we were going to make it even it we made a “Rat Patrol” maneuver jumping the peak. Repeating the teachable moment was not going to happen again. We all learned from my mistake and the method of correcting the problem.

Now what goes up must go down and I mean straight down. The next task was frequency/ modulated braking controlling the vehicle on what felt like a free fall. Everyone maneuver this obstacle without vehicle carnage.

After member of the team survived Anaphylactic Shock and a fractured arm managed by the trainees in a mock exercise it was time for the easy course, 4 wheeling by braille. Team of 2 paired up to experience the complicated task of communicating vehicle steering and maneuvering to another individual. This was complicated by the simple fact that the driver in the back country was blindfolded. We all

learned to communicate right hand-down, right-hand steer and left hand down for left steering with graded amounts of either brake or gas. While very enlightening it did provoke significant anxiety for both parties moving either forward or backward.

After digging in a couple of vehicles that were necessary for practicing recovery techniques, we worked on winching and strap methods. Bill’s classic was finally pulled from the sandy gully, once he released the brake, (“smile smile”). Later that evening it was back to the camp site through the “Rock Garden” where all if the boulders doubled in size when illuminated with the massive LED lights, from just that morning. Well maybe their position changed slightly.

Breaking camp in the morning for the last day was made easier by knowing we did not face the Rock Garden again, except on the way out. Plodding our way out one vehicle managed to break a prop (drive ) shaft, allowing us to practice our recovery techniques. Once out were excited for the days activities away from that trail. But no once reassembled we headed right back down the trail toward the Rock Garden. However, this time we stayed to the right where the big sand stone steps live. Through Bill’s experience and guidance we conquered the steps without major carnage this time. This is a spectacular canyon hidden away where few dare to travel.

At completion of the day we thanked our honored teacher for the wonderful experience and the group headed east, back to civilization only a mere 15 miles away. All tired and exhausted we trekked back to the Front Range and the Denver area.

Eat Well, Even On the Trail

Trip Planning for the Last Minute Adventurer

by Chef Kristian Niemi

AKA: How Not to Get Bitten in the Backside

Gambas al ajillo!

By Rob Colombin

I

Translated as “shrimp with garlic”, this is one of my favorite Spanish-inspired dishes to make for a quick fireside treat. It’s spicy and smoky, with succulent shrimp that pop with flavor, and of course, lots of garlic. This recipe is great because most of it can be prepared in advance and kept in storage bags in your cooler. It only takes a few minutes to saute, so getting everything prepped and ready to go is the key.

1 pound Small Shrimp (31/40 count), Peeled and deveined 1 tablespoons Chili Powder 1 tablespoons Smoked Paprika ½ tablespoon Paprika ½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper 1 teaspoon Salt 3 tablespoons Olive Oil 2 tablespoons Garlic, minced ½ cup Tomato, diced 3 slices, Bacon, cooked and broken/chopped into bits 1 cup Dry Sherry 3 TB Butter Lemon Wedges Chopped Parsley

You do not have to eat peanut butter everyday while on an expedition, unless you really want to.

t’s that time of year again—the time of year when summer makes way for fall, and all the incredible sunsets that abound out on the trail. And, under the mild and possibilities of the new season, an itch begins—an itch you can’t seem to scratch, and it seems to be spreading. Don’t be alarmed, it just your sense of adventure, insinuating itself into your consciousness and itching to go out and play. I say, indulge it.

The rub is that even though the overland trekking season is in full swing, it always seems to leave us far too soon. It seems that one minute, we’re relieved to pack up our snow boots and we blink and it’s time to rake up fall leaves. The fantasy mind of the adventurer can be full of well-planned, methodically executed itineraries with every detail vetted, along with contingencies and secondary plans. This theoretical trip is flawless—a thing of beauty. But, let’s face it, the raw reality is that when the opportunity arises, you’re likely to muster just enough forethought to aim a dart at a map, and grab your keys and go. If you have your act together, you might remember to gas up first.

Believe it or not, there’s a way to bridge the gap between PPANM (Painstaking Planning ad Nauseam Method) and HFSPM (Haphazard Flying by the Seat of your Pants Method)—and that’s trip planning. I know, it’s probably not the most exciting thing on your bucket list, and sounds like a trick to get you back to PPANM, but this is really about trip triage—the fastest way to become prepared so that you can seize any and every opportunity for last minute adventure travel that comes along without getting bit in the backside. Once you realize how much easier it is to get away at a moment’s notice if you prepare ahead of time, you’ll notch it up to the top of your priorities.

1. In a zip-top storage bag, combine the shrimp with the chili powder, paprika, cayenne and salt. Mix until shrimp are well-coated. Combine garlic, tomatoes and bacon in a separate storage container. Store both in your cooler until ready.

2. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil. When hot, add shrimp and sauté until they are cooked halfway.

3. Add garlic, tomatoes, bacon and sauté a bit longer. Add sherry and cook until reduced by half. Add butter and stir in.

4. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze the lemon wedges over the shrimp. Serve with crusty bread for sopping up the delicious sauce and a crisp white wine or a bubbly Cava to wash it down.

The following are very basic things, and coincidentally, often the most overlooked. Tip: if you’re not mechanically inclined—you know who you are—make sure to have your car checked by a professional prior to your trip. Take my word for it, plan ahead on this one. Don’t wait until the day before your trip to make an appointment, or you may not leave on time. You, or your mechanic, should check the following systems:

Cooling system -

Look for leaks, bulges, cracks, and any signs of wear. Top off coolant levels.

lift jack.

Running gear - Check wheel bearings and service if necessary.

Also, lube drive shafts & check condition of U

joints, check differentials, transfer case, and

transmission fluids for optimum levels & condition.

Winches & winch line, auxiliary lighting, inverters, etc. Make sure they’re in good work ing order. Test before they are needed.

Fluids -

Check all fluids, including washer fluid, transmission, power steering, differentials, coolant, engine oil, and brake fluid for levels and condition.

Brakes -

Inspect brake pads for adequate friction material (no less than 4mm), check for fluid leaks at brake calipers; inspect routing of brake lines for damage and secure placement. Inspect master cylinder for adequate fluid level and leaks.

Tool kit -

A basic tool kit (even if you’re not handy) can get you out of a bad spot, as someone trying to assist you will need it. It should contain: basic wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers (stan dard & Phillips), adjustable wrench. Ready-made tool kit lists vary in size and expense. Check for options on line.

Spill kit -

A spill kit is key to responsible off- roading and is designed to capture oil, and other fluids, minimizing the impact on the environment.

First aid kit -

This should include adequate first aid as well any individual requirements such as personal medications, epi pens, or inhalers.

Flash lights -

Check the batteries and bring spares. I recommend head lamps – they’re small, inexpensive, efficient on battery use, and portable.

way, test out your gear before hand for fit, performance, and function as it pertains to you and your planned adventure. You can benefit from the sorrowful tale of my misadventure with a mummy bag that failed to grow with my shoulders and chest. In my defense, who knew a person could outgrow a mummy bag? I secretly blame my wife’s cooking, but that was no consolation to me as I spent a long night clutching the edge of the bag to my chest, shivering under the inadequate cover of a sweatshirt on a cold, sleepless night outdoors.

Aside from fit, there are other bad surprises that await the adventurer who hasn’t vetted out his gear. For instance, ten at night, and a thousand miles from home is a bad time to find out that your teenager has forgotten to tell you that the zipper on your tent broke when she used it last, or that there is gum stuck to your sleeping bag. And, who wants to learn when it’s too late that mice have used your pack as a winter nesting ground? Bottom line: inspect your gear—all of it, so you know what you’re dealing with. It’s also an easy way to take inventory when there’s still time to fill in the gaps with a trip to the store. Time of year will have a lot to do with dictating certain aspects of your packing (whether you’re taking a 5 degree bag or a 20 below bag, for instance; flip-flops and shorts, or Uggs and jeans).

Tires - Inspect tires and rims for possible rim

damage, sidewall damage, and for adequate

tread depth (this includes the spare). Make

sure you have the correct size lug wrench and operational

Depending on the length of you trip, it’s always good to carry extra motor oil, fan belt, oil and air filter, and spark plugs, washer fluid, automatic transmission fluid, and gear oil. These are minimal assurances. Your spare list may be more extensive, depending on the length and difficulty of your trip. Note: spares are good, but do not take the place of a good pre-trip inspection.

Now, about your personal gear, take it from someone who learned the hard

Hardware - Make sure the shock mounts, exhaust hangers, and suspension mounting bolts are secure and tight. Check Light bulbs, & wiper blades.

Auxiliary -

Spares -

Anatomy of a basic starter kit.

Gear -

The easiest way to figure out what gear to pack is to envision the activities you have planned, including how many days you’ll be gone. Take inventory of your kitchen gear (stove, lanterns, dishes, pots and pans, utensils) and make sure there’s enough for the number in your group. Overnight trips often require sleeping bags and tents adequate for your group.

Tip: don’t go large unless necessary. It’s harder to keep a large tent warm in the high country.

Make sure you know ahead of time what the bathroom facilities will be at your destination.

A primitive camp site might require an eco-friendly toilet system, such as the PET system. And, it’s always wise to tuck a roll of toilet paper in your off road gear.

Clothing -

Tech Gadgets - Even if it’s a single day trip, make sure you have

a change of dry clothes. Have you ever seen

what happens after a day slipping around

in mud? Packing for multi-day trips,

remember that weather forecasts aren’t always spot on—especially here in Colorado (land of the 15 minute weather pattern). Pack for Trail Maps - a variety of weather by layering. Remember, it’s

better to be over-prepared, warm and dry, than

cold, wet and miserable.

10

Toiletries -

Only you know what you need, but don’t forget the important things. You can manage without a hairbrush, but prescription meds, deodorant, and contact solution are musts you can’t do without. Take the time to think this through — you (and in the case of deodorant, those who are traveling with you) will be glad you did.

Entertainment -

It only takes a few minutes to gather a magazine or two, and deck of cards, Soduko, a book of cross word puzzles, or that novel you never find the time to read. Save yourself from boredom by toting along a few diversions. It’s that, or you can go another fifteen rounds of “Ninety-nine Bottles of Beer.”

Alongside the toys (camera, GPS, head lamp, flashlight), don’t forget back up batteries and SD cards that keep ‘em going. Solar converters, such as Goal Zero, are an efficient way to generate power, and can keep your gadgets going for many days.

Food & Snacks -

For day trips, pack snacks, and lots of water — again, being over prepared is better than underprepared. Make sure your snacks contain protein. A stall on the trail is only made worse by a grumbling stomach and a dry thirst.

For multi-day trips, start with detailed menus and make your grocery list from there. You can build menus way in advance and then keep recycling them for future trips. Don’t forget to place your cooler handy for filling with ice on your way out of town. Tip: out on the trail is not the best time to try out brand new recipes. It’s not like you can phone for pizza delivery, if it doesn’t work out. Stick to the tried and true menu planning, and check it off as it gets packed.

A “Bug Out Bag” -

Simply put, this is a 3-day survival bag for one, containing bad weather gear, food stuffs, first aid and other survival staples. Bug out bags can be homemade or purchased completed, and should be included on day trips, as well as multi-day adventures.

Here’s the scoop, some simple trip planning can make the difference between a carefree excursion and a side-of-the-road suck fest. Don’t know about you, but given the choice, I’ll check the box for carefree excursion every time. Hopefully, these tips and suggestions can make it easier for you to grab your keys and go, at every opportunity throughout the off-roading season. See you on the trail.

1948 land rover

Text & Photos provided by Patrick Kelly

It’s sometimes hard to remember the origins of our wonderful obsession. As most automotive marques go, the Land Rover is relatively recent but has left an indelible mark on the world. Land Rover as a concept and vehicle didn’t exist officially until 1948 when it was unveiled at the Amsterdam Motor Show.

In many parts of the undeveloped world, the Land Rover was the first vehicle seen by indigenous peoples the world over. Napoleon Chagnon has a wonderful anecdote during his time in Africa with the !Kung San involving a Land Rover. When you think of Land Rover, I’m sure it conjures up the mystique of Africa, Australian Outback or the deep jungles of South America. Some of my fondest memories as a child was watching Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins in the old Land Rover as they were encountering another wild animal in Africa. Or perhaps Daktari with the zebra stripped Land Rovers.

We all cringe when we hear some of the less informed people refer to our trucks as a ‘Jeep’, anyone who has owned a Series Land Rover has been in that situation one time or another. continued on next page

So, how did this icon of adventure spirit and ultimate adventure lifestyle come about?

Maurice Wilks, the chief designer for Rover car, wanted a new model for Rover to produce. His brother, Spencer Wilks, was the managing director of Land Rover at the time. They had been using a WWII surplus Willy’s Jeep at Maurice’s holiday home in Wales and they were inspired by its capabilities.

The problem they also faced was a severe shortage of steel because of the war. One material that Britain had in abundance at that time was aluminum from all the aircraft. The original Land Rover prototype was built in 1947 on a Willy’s chassis using Birmabright (an alloy of aluminum and magnesium) body panels with a tractor style center steering setup. The use of Birmabright for the body panels means the alloy is self-healing. Small scratches would be filled in by the alloy.

Maurice’s original concept was for a vehicle that would serve more as a farm implement than as transportation.

The production Series I was a normal driver position (RHD or LHD), canvas roofed truck with permanent four wheel drive. The Series I was the start of the mechano-kit modular Land Rover. The doors were optional on the Series I trucks. That original truck had only an 80” wheelbase.

Eventually the Land Rover grew, 80” to 86”, 88” being the final Series I SWB; with the introduction of a 107” in pickup form first and then as the full safari wagon we have all come to love.

1958 was a split year, the last of the Series I’s and the first of the Series II’s being introduced. The Series II saw the Land Rover body shapes we are all familiar with. The body style changed from the slab sided Series I to the barrel sided body we are all familiar with.

1961 saw the Series IIA. These are perhaps the trucks so iconic in our minds as they chug across Africa in various television shows during the 1960s and 70s. The changes were minor and mostly cosmetic, with the only major mechanical change being the introduction of a 2.25 liter diesel.

By 1967 Land Rover introduced a 2.6 liter 6 cylinder engine borrowed from the Rover sedan. 811 of these as 109 station wagons were sold as NADA (North American Dollar Area) Land Rovers. This is a different 6 cylinder from the European motor introduced in the late 1960s. 1969 saw the headlamps move from the grille to the end of the wings. This was supposedly for visibility purposes.

and are still in production today. In 1993 the United States was finally graced with the first real new Land Rover TRUCK since 1974. 1993 saw the introduction of the 110 NAS station wagons.

They were done in white with an external roll cage and exuded the do-anything Land Rover lifestyle in ways a Range Rover just couldn’t. 525 were imported to North America, 500 to the United States and 25 to Canada.

1994 and 1995 saw Land Rover selling the Defender 90 in the United States. The eventual demise of these capable vehicles were Federal safety standards. Side impact bracing for the doors and dual airbags were required. It just wasn’t economically viable for Land Rover to pursue the US market with the Defender trucks. 1997 Land Rover did a limited run of Defender 90 hard top station wagons, the last of the new Defenders sold in the US. 1972 saw the arrival of the Series III Land Rover. Land Rover sought to include more creature comforts: the seats offered a shaped squab to offer lumbar support, the dash was made out of plastic and padded for safety, the grille went to being plastic (no more bush BBQs with the old metal grilles), and a synchromesh transmission.

The last of the Series III trucks saw the introduction of the 3.56 liter V-8 in an effort to give them more power. These lasted from 1979-1985.

Please enjoy your Land Rovers as best you can, just remember they do enjoy getting dirty every once in a while.

In 1974 Land Rover pulled out of the US market because of the upcoming emissions and safety standards.

In 1983 Land Rover went with coils on the slab sided work horse. These were the 90 and 110” trucks. The Defender moniker wasn’t given to the trucks until much later, in the 1990s. They were offered with the 3.5 liter V-8, 2.25 petrol/diesel and then the later 2.5 petrol/diesels. These trucks were much sought after by the world’s military organizations,

ROVERXCHANGE

Originally started in 1951, the Road Rover was to be a RWD SUV type of station wagon.

Beginning in 1964 the Road Rover was brought back as a concept. 1967 saw the first running prototype of this iconic automobile. As you probably guessed it eventually became the Range Rover. This was quite a departure from Land Rover’s regular line up. The Land Rovers were traditionally leaf sprung, much like most trucks were. This allowed for great carrying capacity and durability but limited off road wheel travel. Not to mention it was a rough riding station wagon. The Range Rover would also be the first in the line to offer a V-8.

Buick had attempted to use an all-aluminum V-8 in the Skylark. This was the original 215 CI or 3.5 liter V-8. British Leyland purchased that aluminum V-8 from GM in order to use in several of their models, with the Range Rover in mind. The Range Rover went into

production in 1970 with a 2 door station wagon.

The Range Rover was such a break from traditional design that one sat in the Louvre in Paris during the 1970s. The design was so timeless that it lasted from 1970 right up through the introduction of the P38 body style in 1995 one of the longest continuous running models ever. There were some design changes going from a 2 door to 4 door in 1983, then from 100” wheelbase to 108” wheelbase in 1993. The engine was steadily increased from 3.5 liter to 4.6 eventually in the P38. The P38 body style lasted until 2002 and was replaced by the L322 from 2003 until 2012 the L320

Sport ran concurrently with the L322. 2012 also saw the introduction of the new Evoque.

Sadly in 2010, the motoring world lost an icon of automotive history when Charles Spencer King, the chief engineer for the Range Rover project passed away. On a note, he was quoted as saying “Sadly, the 4x4 has become an acceptable alternative to Mercedes or BMW for the pompous, self-important driver,” Mr. King told London’s The Daily Mail in 2004. “To use them for the school run, or even in cities or towns at all, is completely stupid.”
