Yup. Been driving mine at 110km an the highway at altitude and between Calgary and Cochrane (BIG HILL) for the last few days.

I feel the rover is driving much better as the prop was on its way out it was giving me a slight vibration that felt like a misfire between 18000-24000 revs.

Get that prop off and wait until you can afford a new one. Even with 2wd and snow tires mine has been great on the snow and ice thats still on the ground.

Do you have an F1 engine in your Rover?

Just kidding, I know what you meant, you just hit the 0 once too many.

Alright thats what I need to know lol. Unfortunatly I dont have snow tires, rather 2 season old AT tires. I live up a really steep mountain so hopfully the Disco will be able to make it up on one shaft. BUT before I even bother moving the shaft I have to see if my liquid wrench will help losen up the CDL... its stuck at the moment. Ill take the console apart Monday as well to see what it looks like down there.
