There are photos in my post but I linked them in from Facebook. Do you not have a FB account? I think that causes them not to be displayed..


EDIT: Copied them to photobucket, you should be able to see em in my previous post boy!

I thought I would resurrect this thread, seeing as my lad was itching to go out laning this morning. We went out and did 60 miles, with 40 off those on lanes. We found one that was a really challenging, steep and rough by-way. It was then I remembered the phone had a camera...

I was stood in the lane below the truck, the photo does not do justice to how steep this is, I could barely stand!



Also from below, truck getting close to tipping angle



Full articulation required



The view down the hill

I used to have a 1989 Range Rover Efi, it was manual not auto, but fab none the less. Pretty much killed it off road though as it was so much fun.

Great pics Mike and yes....I can fully appreciate how steep that hill was.....it's so frustrating when you look at pictures because you don;t think anyone will understand, but I do x
