I seem to always go first so everyone gets to learn from my failures lol also my TC doesn't work (need to do option B still). I saw that after the first disco each of the next ones went further left to miss the hole.
The new Defender was pretty nice, but he had to leave the 1st day, but I should have some video once the photographer gets a chance to upload. I will update the trip report the too
It’s way steeper in real life. Pics just don’t do justice. Backing down from the stone wall Awesome views Our Saturday group. About to dip in Results of dipping in. Lol I’m in.
Trip to minden Ontario. I’ll post more pics
Did the same exact thing, l'm surprised you didn't take out the MAF sensor (l did). A snorkel and not using so much "go pedal"...never had any issue.
Oh, so you backed up on that stone wall. Ouch, that explains the exhaust system issue. To bad the guys outside the vehicle didn't tell you how bad that option would be, you can see the rear bumper is wedged in there pretty good, it's actually holding the rear of the rover up quite a bit too.
Now, doesn't the LR club up there have an event happening in that same area in Nov.
Even with the amount of upsets, still looks like you guys are having a blast. Keep the pictures coming.
Benefit of going last and being able to see the line.
Yep. Was down in southern Ohio 4 wheeling with their LR group and was last in line. We're climbing this pretty vertical intense trail, rocks, slimy mud, roots and narrow glutch type of cut into the side on the hill...and has like a hundred foot drop off...if a mistake is made to your left. Anyhow, l'd climbed this stretch before...with about five other guys, with pretty good off roading experience and we marched right through. This time we had four or five younger guys, mid twenties, along. We get to this one spot and each of the "younger guys" had one hell of a time getting through, one guy actually climbed out of the glutch to the left that l thought it would be the last l'd see of him. I'm sitting back there thinking..."man, this trail must have really gotten worse since the last time l was here"...and was starting to get a little nervous myself...since the rovers in front of me were on 285/315's and l'm sitting down here on my 265's.. Well, after an hour or so of waiting...finally arrive at the washout. Looked over my line choices...and snaked right through as if there was nothing to it. They'd all been going to the left, around an obstacle...l steered right with a cigar tight in my teeth and planted a wheel above the obstacle and crawled the bank up and over. Easy-peasy. They were all stopped waiting, as if..."we're going to have to help this old man out"...type of expression on their faces. I just pulled up, drew a healthy drag on my cigar and exhaled through my nose...and gave them the look like..."what's the hold up?" Young whippersnappers anyway...lol.
Out with the Roverlanders, we had a major obstacle to cross. In the end we only got 3 across as it turned out the next river crossing (500M further) was a nightmare and likely undoable.
All 3 trucks slide down that slope and had to winched backup,and that was not the worst part of the road we traveled, with luck someone got a few images of that bit.
