UPDATE: Tires, and Bumper Received!!!

DiscoDirk's 1996 Land Rover Discovery

So I've visited the "new location" two times now. Last week I decided to go a third time, with my new MTs, to try the truck out in the mud! Boy did those things perform excellent! On High Gears I was getting through the wet stuff, and on Low, I was getting through the nearly-clay mud. After a few hours of fun, I decided to get off the open trail and get over some grassy/muddy land. BAD IDEA! It was REAL thick and sticky. I got stuck two times, self recovered, and got stuck a third time. The third time was BAD. Wheels sank into the mud and the truck was resting on its undercarriage and whole underside. The axles and shafts were burried in the mud. After hours of tryin everything, I gave up, went home with some friends and came back the next morning to recover the truck with day light. After two hours, some diggin, a few makeshift sand ladders, and some snow chains, the truck was out!

Here is the winch being put to the test. What a day. It was a four-truck recovery op. That thing ran from 8pm to 2am and then again from 6am to about 2pm NON STOP...on the ONE Red Top.
