|  The safaris weren't bad either  ! It's just that I wasn't a good enough driver! Anyways, tinkering and everything done: 4k for the whole job! I hope to get it some time again later without telling my wife  . Quote:

Thank you  . I did have a ball of a time. Tried sticking around for some time and "watch" the OTR but could not hang on for long. Had to do some 2WD off roading. Good fun. | |

| Senior - BHPian  | The RR/LR owners are pushing their luck. There's a high likelihood of damaging those cars. What's the point of attempting terrain meant mainly for swb vehicles? Those are such fine machines and damaging them would be so  . I guess to each his own !!Last edited by DKG : 1st September 2009 at 09:42. |

The gypsy's rear overhang was the culprit. In the last climb from the trench the bumper would scrape through some packed mud. The mud had a clay like consistency. Cheers GB | |

I agree with DKG, off roading those machines does give me a heart ache. | |

Only LR got into lil trouble when it grounded the running board, on its second attempt in the reverse direction. RR had a very minor crack on rear bumper (i heard owner has already ordered an alternative for this) and one of the tail pipe ate some mud.But man that 4.6 liter burble is a thing to die for  | |

please don't ask me why I had to get the painting done, which costs the most.. I was just kidding man  ! But frankly speaking, I was surprised by the way the stock truck behaved. It is not that bad. I can't compare it to a MM or Gypsy but it was more than enough for me to actually try out a lot which I don't mind. The torque is good but pretty less than the 3L Dicor which I drove in some slush along with my friend (I got the 3L from concorde when my truck's chassis was getting changed). @hrag: I still haven't got the invoice. Once I get the break up I will put it on here! @Krishna: Thanks for the pics . Quote:
