Default Off Roading in the Landy.

Not sure if anyone on here off roads but thought i'd throw up some of my off roading experiences. Got a 300tdi Land Rover discovery about 2 years ago, first outing roll it on its roof. Getting the hand of it and starting to test the truck, starting to go a little mad when out but its bloody good fun knowing you can ram up a massive hill and not worry about scratching the paint. Heres some pics.

Best modification on it...... 170db train horn, scares the crap out of people going across level crossings.



Getting wet feet




Nice and Clean after a day at Tixover



Dragging the winch on the bottom





Doesn't look like much but the diff lock wasn't in



And then this happened



Only did minor damage, well bending the rear bodywork, luckily no chassis damage



Got it repaired and off to Kirton for the weekend







Looks a lot tamer then it actually felt in the driving seat



Any one else off road on here if so get some pictures up!

Hi Mate,

No it wasnt, thats when we realised how to do it and didn't cock about and took it seriously!

I keep trying to get the steepness and drops on some of the hills but it never comes out as when your in it!

What tyres are you using on the Disco?

Mate of mine isn't sure what ones to go for.

Think he swaying toward Sahara's as he still has to use it on the road.

He has a V8 Disco with 2" lift, Custom made bumper with winch

Love it! Good to see somebody using a 4x4 for what they are meant for a change!

Great to see them jacked up and dirty. I'd love to give it a go, closest I've got is driving accross a wet and muddy/rutty field in a new Rangey Vogue. It was pretty good though, plenty of grip and put a smile on my face.

Hi Mate,

There insa turbo and an awesome off road tyre. If you want a good off road and on road look at the recips or the general grabbers.
