My first REAL truck was a K5 and was amazing. Similar to you, it was necessary for where I lived at the time, and ultimately led me here - to the Discovery.

I also agree that I would not take my Disco rock climbing, but literally everything else I have driven to, I have gone up and over or through.

Certainly a lot more that 6" mud ruts to be sure, but I also understand your point.

Our "wheeling" or most "Off Road" trails here in the lower 48 are what you guys in Alaska call "Driveways".

Keep up the good work - and AMAZING pic's of your buddies Rover - looks like an awesome and capable vehicle.

I figured I'd post some pictures of my jeeps. How do you get them to show up? On jeep forums there was a image button.

At The Bad Lands in IN. This video is a prime example of taking the right line. I could not see anything. As soon as I had a spotter I made it up easily.

The videos of the s2000 were of my turboed s2000. God I miss that car. Ran a 10.2 in it.

 

Nice videos man! I'm jelous.....you've been to the cliffs!. I think I saw that off-road park in one of the ultimate adventures videos.

 

Thats one big a$$ Dl. Wow I thought mine was a pain to get in and out of with 35"s that things got me beat.
Is he still running Rover axles under it?

 

yup still running rover drivetrain and axles but the internals have been beefed up considerably......upgraded shafts, upgraded carrier, geared real low....like a 4.56 or 4.88 range somewhere in there.

 

I know that 100% stock Disco driving through the hood deep water in a parking lot is not big deal to some, but then again I dont think the owner of that truck has to try and compensate for a lack of something either.

And yes you can go around, it may not be the shortest or funnest route, but it can be done.

~100ft tall tree fell during a downdraft and blocked the trail, I had to reverse almost a mile before I could turn around and find a different path.





There is always a way.
