Got some pics from Gore VA this weekend. Sorry the action shots are a bit week. Didnt have much oppurtunity to take too many pics durring the ride. Broke a motor mount have way in but a ratchet tie in the right spot fixed it and we carried on. There were some pretty nice rock crawls that required a winch and some pulls for others. As soon as I get the pics from buddy's wifes camera I will post those. We were on a level 4 trail it went up to 7. 6's and 7's were pretty much buggies only except for some pretty serious jeeps. I was the only Land Rover in site. Surprisingly I wasnt heckled. Most people just wanted to take a look at what it had. Lots of jealousy over stock full floating axles and a triangulated 4 link rear. Even with open diffs it did really well. locked diffs would make things a lt nicer though. Having a 5 speed did get a little bit old but nice for the down hills. The trip went for about 6 hours. I was only there for the day but you could have shown up on Thursday and did 2 trips each day. 1 in daylight and the second at night. Unfortunately I could only stay for the one day ride. Its only an hour from the house so not bad.
