Saturday outing

Took my friend out for his first wheeling experience in his Sport. The truck did really well, just had to be careful with his 20" wheels.

Cool pictures. What is the name of the color of your truck?

Nice pics, looks like a fun day. It must be so nice to live some place where you don't have to worry about rust - a D1 undercarriage would never look like that in New England

Nice. Second one I have seen in Utah that color. Are the pictures out at 5 Mile Pass? Are you on the local club's email list?

Thanks! And trust me that undercarriage would look a lot worse if I hadn't been so anal about it, I bought a sand blaster so I could media blast the frame rails and the coat them in POR15 and then painted them. I can't stand rust haha

Ya it's not a very common color, I didn't know there was a local LR club. Do you have any info on it?

This is why I got my D2 from arizona, VT destroys vehicles.

Same here, I got my Classic from GA and the RR Sport from CA.

Baja5337 you did a nice job maintaining that D1 I would love to find one of those that clean. How was the POR15 to work with, I have heard a number of people using that over waxoyl lately.

I would never buy a used vehicle in northern Utah either as they literally pour on the salt. Vehicles turn white in the winter along the Wasatch Front. It's terrible.

Great shots. Very cool area. Wish we had something like that close to Oklahoma City! So, the Range Rover Sport fared well? I am looking into one of these now. Debating between the LR4 and the RRS! So tough to call. :Wow1:

I'd be interested in learning your decision parameters. They are both on the same chassis, with similar performance, but they feel very different the the design and function of the interiors is extremely different. The RRS is a sporty driver, the LR4 is a versatile people and cargo mover. The LR4 is slightly better offroad due to better angles and visibility, but both are incredible.

Is that a Boerboel in the the truck?

It was pretty easy to use, I also covered it with rust oleum in semi flat black in hopes of preventing it from coming back

The sport did really well. We had to stack a couple rocks in a few spots to protect the door bottoms and I spotted him carefully to prevent rock rash on his powder coated wheels. Comparing the sport to the lr3/4 I would almost swear the lr3/4 has more suspension travel. It seemed like the sport was three wheeling a lot, but the traction control pulled it through every time. I would imagine that it would become severely crippled on the trail if the traction control stopped working

Is that a Boerboel in the the truck?

Are you referring to the dog? (I don't know what a Boerboel is)
If so, she is my 2 year old English Mastiff. Love that pup! She is a great dog, but she would rather be walking the trail than riding along.

nuclearmonkey beat me to the question.

a Boerboel is a South African Mastiff, their national dog, cousin to the English mastiff.
