Default Offroading Trip

Just wanted to post a message letting everyone know that Disco's are great vehicles to take off-roading. On Saturday, April 9th, I went on a trip with www.Ohio4x4.com (pics on website) and took my basically stock 98 LSE. The only additions I have are a stainless A-frame push bar, and Geolander AT tires. I did better in the mud than most of the Wrangler drivers that participated, and just about all of them were modified. Don't ever doubt the capabilities of these vehicles. I put the thing through as much stress as possible, and it took it with a smile. I did receive body damage to the passenger doors from a tree, but that is what I get for taking it on such rough trails as we did.

They truly are made for off-roading, and can take it better than most stock vehicles out there. The suspensions can flex and twist in amzing ways, and the 4x4 system worked perfectly.

Sounds like fun, you know if you ever get the time.. you should go to vegas, and the desert near there is so awesome! There are rovers there all the time, VERY exciting to watch.
