That is going to be pretty awesome with those tires.

It did pretty well. Yes, it was very rocky, but the LR3 tackled it like a champ. I did end up with a flat tire toward the end of the trail, but I got it changed and headed on my way.

Thanks!
Im still short a couple tires. I at least need one more to make 4, but would also like a full size spare.
Speaking if which, if anyone knows where to get michelin xml's in the New England area...

Francis Peak, Utah. Finally made it up here. My Disco2 and my buddies LR3
Nice! Evidently not a member of the local LR group? Might be a few Series, Disco's and RRC's if you were!
Try these guys, a ways off, but they were decent to me when i was where.

Met a friend out yesterday that happened to have his 1999 Kalahari out. Perfect chance to take a few updated pics of my 03 Trek as well. Here is original build thread

GAalpinaowner, that is a sweet Trekedition, it looks right.. I dig the kalahari with the Saudi grill, but!!!!!! i am partial to orange.
Had a nice off road day yesterday, was on MOD ( Ministery of Defence, yes the british army.. ) training grounds, so some nice easy bits but also 1 hill that many of us tried to climb.
My mate and i had the only modern landy's there so i stepped up to the challenge and gave it ignorance!
Looks reasonable doesn't it? Also note a crowd of Defenders that a government doesn't snatch up... ( sorry, had to say it )
The issue is, you need to go up the right side for a bit, then at a specific point, change over to the left. If you don't do it, or miss it. You're screwed and you need to try again.
The other issue is it's not a flat surface either, it has plenty of dips so throws you around and lifts wheels right up in the air, which doesn't help keeping the speed etc up.
I gave it my best, but sadly. I was not able to get the D3 up it. Much to my annoyance.
Blame is on the driver, tyres that are way past their best tbh, and the D3's weight and wheel base, it's just too long and gets caught up in the dips.
My mates D90 powered up it 3 times.
So, afterwords, i pissed off my local car wash people by getting them to clean it inside and out. So it looked like this at the end of the day...
