4x4 Green laning

Aw! YAY!! Can we? Please???!! That sounds good! Loads of bikers come thru Str to go to the North West every year. The town is just a mass of bikes and my work is directly across from the ferry terminal so I get a look all the nice (and some not so nice) bikes that are going across!

I think me and Dan have just decided that a 6.5 hour drive to Stirling (where we had moments erlier decided would be a better option than Crail) would be too much to do there and back when we only have four nights away. So, I think we are going to go somewhere in the south west. I have been to a few places in the South West, but don't know it very well past Taunton and Dan is the same, but has never been past Taunton.

HOWEVER, what that means is we can come to Scotland for a two week holiday in the summer and then, I would want to take him all over, so we could come and see you and take you off roading (when it's dry and we're less likely to get stuck!)

You shoukd turn your house into a little bikers haven cafe....sounds like you'd have a roaring trade!

Where is Taunton??!?

No offence or anything, but your Disco seems to be lacking a bit of articulation? You still got the anti-roll bars on it?

I dont think there is much greenlaning in Scotland unless you get landowner permission, different from down here.

Anyway, what about Pembrokeshire for your break, its lovely down there.

I wouldnt mind a PM of the location of that lane, btw.

I'll get Dan on the case for a pm for you. As for Pembrokeshire, I know it well and love it there. I am Welsh anyway and my dad keeps his rib at Freshwater East, so took Dan there last summer. I think we're going to head south!

You've been paying atention to my rear end eh?? You are of course correct though. It'll probably get taken off as I get more experience off road. We're discussing a lift at the minute and wether to bother or not. Don't think we're going to be getting bigger tyres anytime soon as just had those ones put on.

It's a day to day car too so been thinking about how all this stuff affects mileage. Was getting 450 from a full tank, blanked off the EGR valve and this jumped up to about 480, put these tyres on, back down to about 450ish...

Next thing is some underneath protection. Diff guards, heavy duty steering rods. We saw a Rangie classic the other day that had the steering damper moved from behind the front axle up to the higher of the steering rods and attached to that rod and the steering guard on the inside..

Lot's of ideas, lots of time, lack of cash ha haaa.. It's like owning a bike eh... Just requires more oil

If I remember correctly the max you can lift them is about 3" before the prop shaft angle becomes a problem.

Oh and check this out!
