LR3 Night Crawler
They only come out at night!!! Really need some better tires! General AT2s on order. "Urban Explorer" had to pull me a 100 feet, but it was still impressive for a street tired vehicle running with a Ford on 35s, 2 Chevy's with 42s, and Urban Explorer's DII with 31s. The Rovers kicked A@@ going in and pulling out the Ford from this mud field.

Enough mud for one week!!

Sorry for the delay in replying!! What email address is on the thread alert emails? It seems my SPAM engine is stopping them.
Those are 255/60R18 Continental Cross Contacts. They have only 2000 miles on them and are for sale!! I should have BFG AT/KO 265/65R18 Load Range E shoes on it by Friday. That photo was in extended mode. Urban Explorer had just "dropped" me on hard ground and gone back in for the Chevy on 42s stuck behind me.
We have had normal rainfall so far this year. It is much wetter than last year. The flooded roads are no longer dry!!'05 LR3 (Disco III) Trail, 5 Passenger V8 petrol, LHD, ARB Bull Bar, Warn XD9000 Winch

Latest modifications - ARB Winch Bar and Warn Winch. It's coming along!! Moved the LR driving lights from the A Bar to the Bull Bar. Need to install fog lights. Now I just have to decide what to do about the air intake - Safari or G4 RAI ,,,,
