Default FOR ANYONE INTO OFFROADING.....PICS

if your not into it fook off

had a great weekend at drumclog 1500 acre site just south of glasgow with a load of mates went out on sat night for a wee while....i was like the 2 blokes of the fast show that say "lets offroad" got sprayed with mud after driving into a bog then 5 mins later i tipped it over ran like clockwork the next day after that though!

some pics





















great weekend...£20 for use of the site..free parking for motorhome and around 4 gallons of petrol....great fun and cheap as chips

not me....i fitted a rockcrawler transfer box into it...does about 25mph flat out in 5th in low box!

the adrenaline comes from worrying it its going to go tits up on a steep climb ...the pics never seem to show how steep the hills actually are

looks awesome, i wonder if there are many places to do it round here (hertfordshire)?

I used to have a Nissan D21 truck, loking for another, or a hilux, as a towcar / workhorse. Could easily be tempted to take it offroad too

Mines only 2" lift winch and 3.9 V8 pure power
I got to sort the Diff lock out as it wont go in atm as its sized But gone most places in Low Range



Also is great for Puching the cossie back in the garage



If your into you off road racing have a look @ www.awdc.co.uk you can go and watch the race days ect and if your willing to help out with Marshalling then they all ways need extra Dont get any thing for it But you get to go around removing the course after the advent and have abit of a play as long as your not being silly ect
Im going down to the Minehead advent in somerset on the 1st July im staying over the wkend as my uncle and other family help run it and set out courses ect

You live on the wrong side of the world for proper 4wding!

The national and state parks here are full of 1000's of miles of 4wd tracks, most within an hour drive of the city. You're on your own here though - no farmer with a tractor to help you out here!











If you're really keen to pay to 4wd, you can enter one of the 100's of competitions and events held nationally, like the outback challenge:
