    Claybar and Paint?

    I am a firm believer in the claybar. I do it on all my cars at least once a year, try for at least twice a year. It really helps keep the paint looking new and sets the stage for polish and wax to really shine up the machine. I have used the package from Zaino for my claybar stuff and the one...

    Damn LR3

    All I know is: I am 31 years old, have owned some 15 cars in my life and have only ever said, "I want to keep this car forever" one time....and it was about my DII. I am just now getting it lifted and getting a roof rack and I am still say, "I wanna keep this ride forever." To say that about...

    NWP Roof Rack Dimensions

    Great. I was just wondering if it was alot smaller and if so should I consider other options. Sounds like I will just have to do a bit more "custom fitting" is all.

    NWP Roof Rack Dimensions

    Hey all, I have looked through the archives searching for the rough interior dimensions of a Northwest Parts Standard Voyager rack for a DII, but I cannot seem to find them anywhere. I am looking at flooring options and I wanted to get the flooring supplies ordered so they arrive when my rack...

    DC Metro area

    Thanks, that is exactly the plan, narrow it down a bit with input from you all, then make a trip out, rent a car and drive around to see what looks good and how far the commute really feels, etc. Sounds like I am in for a rude awakening as far as commute times :(

    DC Metro area

    thanks for all the input. Sounds like I am in for some shocks being as I do not have much of a "commute" now, living here in the sheltered land of Zion. :) I guess I am willing to commute about 45-60 mins each way, hopefully I can set up some sort of a flex schedule so I can miss the really...

    DC Metro area

    Unfortunately, $$ is a concern. Housing is the most troubling factor in this move as it seems it is about twice what it is here in Utah. Thanks very much for your input. This sort of nuanced discussion is exactly what I needed to help make a good decision.

    DC Metro area

    DC Metro area

    My wife and I are planning to move out to the Bethesda/DC Metro area (probably in late September, but who the hell knows). I just wanted to see if any of you in/around that area can recommend a good area in which to rent our first apartment? We dont need anything fancy, but do want something...

    WaSaTcH RoVeRs AF canyon run

    I just found out about this run today. I would love to make it, but I have a long list of chores to prepare the house to be sold. Any reason why I couldnt do this trip myself (with wife) on Sunday? It sounds like it is not overly difficult or technical, but I dont wanna get myself stuck...

    Towing/Moving

    Thanks for all of your input! I feel a bit better about just shipping it now (with proper photos and documentation, just in case). Hopefully I will be seeing some of you East Coast Rover folks in the near future!

    Towing/Moving

    I am likely going to be moving from Utah to Virginia/DC Area sometime in the coming months. My question to you all is: would you recommend that I use my '02 DII to tow my Chrysler Crossfire cross country like that?? It is about 2,100 miles for this trip and we would probably do it in 3 maybe 4...

    Nurburgring Video

    Now THAT's Driving I hate these street racers that put the hammer down and go in a straight line. THIS vid shows not only car's ability by the driver's as well. Every Rice Boy out there needs to watch this and see how silly their stuff looks. Thats just my "never to be humble" opinion anyway.
