As far as driving a stock D90, You should be fine, but it depends on what trails you plan on driving. At the vary least, you should invest in a pair or 2 of chains for those tires. It depends on how much snow there is, but chains are really a pre-requisite. Straps and shackles you most likely already have on hand if you drive trails in the summer. Dress warm, and drive to your abilities.

CB and Ham radios are used, but are not really a necessity as others will have them in your party if you dont have one. Many people drive stock rigs, including myself, but others arrive with strickly off road trailered trucks, and highly modified rigs. it all depends on how much you want to spend, and how much you are willing to break.

Hey, first timer here. I emailed and registered and plan on going if I can get a heater issue sorted out. Im bringing my stock 109 and she and I have only been together a few months. Not trying to be a hero, just want to do some easy trail rides and meet some good Rover people. From what I have read you can choose to take it easy or go nuts, is that true?

[Lord Icon]

Yer nuts to go anyway. We all are. Yes , trails are available for easy to Oh My God. You can always turn around after you see a brand new Jeep 4 door rip it's rear axle off just 100 feet into the trail........ Oh what fun. 10 min on trail going forward, 5 hours winching out , killing batt's and testing the new winch to its extreme. deep loose powder SUCKS , unless you are skiing in it.
All I had was a series 3 with 31.5 tyres. Chains do help though.
If nothing else, the pictures taken will last a lifetime.

I went to the Deering NH outing. I thought you were coming? Then again , many people were no shows. The poor guy that owns the campground was pissed that some folk from Maine booked sites but did not have the courtesy to call and cancel. I had a great time though.
