    Bump.

    Summer is coming to an end. Time to dig out this old thread and update it with your adventures over the past six months!

      While my 88 was undergoing a frame off rebuild, I did a ton of off roading in our series IIA 109. Let me tell you that I completely under estimated the capability of that rig. With balding TSL's at 12 psi it can crawl its way through most anything connecticut trails can throw at it. A while ago I started a facebook group for rovers in CT, and we hit the trails at least once a month, minimum. Even though I'm off at school the group is active, and I recommend anyone who wants to wheel in southeastern CT give it a look.

            My favorites....

            These were from a trip several years ago when my wife-to-be first moved to Colorado. We ran all 4x4 trails from Golden (Colorado) down to Silverton which took about 3 days worth of driving. We then took the train (coal fired steam train) from Silverton toward Durango and hopped off about mid-way out and hiked up into the Chicago Basin where we were surrounded by several 14,000 ft peaks. Given the fact that we left a couple days after she arrived in Colorado, our summit attempts were turned back by her lack of acclimation (but she still married me!).

            Fantastic trip!

                            i think my thought process at the time was if the vehicle broke down then, it would have been a normal land rover predicament

                                I'm glad this delightful thread got resurrected. I'd like to see it as a sticky just because it is fun eye candy. I just wish more of the older pictures were still there for us to enjoy. Who all has updated pictures of your truck out wheeling? More new pictures?

                                These are from a Monument Valley trip last fall.
