Do not try following truggys or buggy , your center of gravity is to high in a rover, luckily we did not roll over

Getting so stuck in a puddle while wheeling alone my 12 k winch almost did not free us, guessing stump

This is only a little stuck, the other puddle was much deeper, thank god for the snorkel

I flopped my 4Runner during my second off road trip. Kinda nervous taking the Land Rover out on any trails rated above moderate. I'll get more experience eventually.

Almost got stuck in a 12" deep 20" across ravine, without a winch, without anyone to pull me out, without CDL, without TC, on the side of a mountain, in the rain, with all season tires, on the first wheeling trip with my girlfriend. Twice. Luckily no damage. I bumped the front diff lightly on a rock, burned some tread off of a couple tires, and bounced around pretty good, but we got up and back down perfectly with a little fenangling. Good times. I need to get that CDL and my lift I've got sitting around installed.

Biggest mistake was letting my wife drive my D1. now I can't get it back. She drove me to Physical Therapy last week and decided to take a nap in the truck out in the lot. She dropped me off and headed out to the far end of the lot where she wouldn't be bothered. I had 2 appointments so 2 hours later, she calls to tell me the battery is dead because she left the lights on when she was asleep.Waiting for my son to show up with jumper cables, I walked (sort of) out to the Disco. Got in my exercise for the day. Of course it was the truck's fault for not beeping or something that the lights were on. All I can do is shake my head slowly....

..placed my keys on the back bumper today while the rear door was open. Closed it up, heard the horn honk and realized that my keys were smooshed between the bumper and the rear door and I had locked myself out. Yep.. I win the idiot of the year award.

Anyone know if gorilla glue will fix the key ring portion of a fob?
