Maintenance, Repairs, Upgrades, Tips & Tricks

Is a Land Rover more than a collection of parts and fasteners? Can an inanimate object have a soul? We answer "yes" to both questions. While other manufacturers strive for mechanical perfection, Land Rover understands that when we set out to a far flung destination - but there is no fear that we may not make it - there is no passion and no soul on the road.

Behind every Land Rover repair there is a heroic tale of mechanical and human perseverance. We drive Eore the Forgiven, who carried heavy loads down solo, punishing washboard Baja, Mexico roads only to have a 12-spline axle cry "enough" one block from home. Also, Brighty the Mighty, whose sparks revealed a faulty winch connection while bogged to the frame in northern Ontario, Canada mud. At the end of each jounrey in Eore or Brighty we boldly proclaim "we have arrived."

Herein are the details of repairs, tips, tricks, and upgrades that have been so important to our journey with our Land Rover's. It is our hope that you will find help in a difficult time, inspiration, or the comfort that can only be found in the suffering of a kindred spirit.
