Hey, I off road my rover all the time and I'm wondering if there are people on this community that take their rover's off roading? Anyone take their rover's off road? Or are there any other Land Rover Off road enthusiasts out there?:thumb-up:

Hey man, great picture! I gotta get some pics together of my range with the new bumper and winch! I'll have to upload that pic to my site, keep checkin for it, I'll probly do it tomorrow, http://www.LROffroad.com the site is getting tons of hits lately, I'm excited hopefully the Reader's Rides section will start to grow, and at the start of the second quarter the rover dealer down here is doing a ralley, I should be going along with them to do recovery and take pics!! I hope my 12k winch will be enough:) what's the weight of your winch?

haha, $1400 worth of damage, that sounds familiar:) I took my 96 disco out one day and got tuck in a forest and had to leave it over night, the next I eventually drove out of it and on my way off the trail I lost my brakes and slammed a tree sending my ARB Bullbar into my side panel and hood, smashing a headlight and blinked and that costed a pretty penny to fix, i also had to replace my front axels since the front of my landie was underwater all night. That's what I get for going off roading at 1am :) You can see the truck I took off road at http://www.LROffroad.com :thumb-up:

This month is all about the LR3, but I could use something good for next month!:thumb-up:

how far away from Uwharrie National Forest do you live? I like going there, but if VA isn't too far maybe I could head up there. I just hate to drive a couple hours just to go offroad, that's exhausting
