Showoff Your LR4

[costelj]

Whoa. I've been on a hiatus for a while, but I came back to say damn, your rig looks great. Love the ARB w/ *****. Don't think you had it when last I looked.

Did some exploring this weekend with the new 18" Compomotive rims and Goodyear DuraTrac tires 265/65R18. I'm very happy with both and love the look of my LR4 even more now!

I agree. Looks good. Handsome.

Hey Trekker,

Looks awesome! The wheels/tires look great on your rig and very functional. I may have missed this before, but for the DuraTrecs, did you have to run lifted or do any trimming?

Oh, and great dog!

Regards, David

I installed it a few months ago - thanks so much! It's coming along for sure........ Next up is the rear bumper.

Hey Trekker

As you said a couple weeks ago... Now your truck is the exact twin of mine
How do you like the DuraTracs. I love mine.
I'm gonna feed my dog more to look like yours but I'm not sure I can grow such a beard as yours.

My Anatolian Shepherd looks a bit like Trekker's dog, but my greyhound is a bit lean. Hehe!!!

Also nice to see a rover guy with such a beard - I have a similar beard as well! The rover guys I know tend to like to shave. I haven't shaved in 15 years!!!!!!!!!

You guys are a hoot!

OK. It is time for me to come clean and admit that I am a wuss.

Ouray is awesome and I'm thoroughly enjoyed driving the LR4 there the past couple days. But I freak when it comes to narrow shelf roads. I applaud you guys who can do it. I don't seem to have an issue with narrow roads where the shelf isn't severe or if there is no one coming the other way. But I can't imagine doing Black Bear Pass (which was closed for repairs as it is in pretty rough shape and a Jeep rolled down it this weekend) or Imogene. We did Ophir but only the east side as I didn't want to deal with the narrow shelf road on the west side.

But we did find another wonderful road that parallels a section of Highway 550 between Ouray and Silverton. Awesome views across the valley at the mountains on the other side. Narrow and steep in some areas but easily doable. Brooklyn Road ( southern portion of the Red Mountain Mining Area trail in the Funtreks book).

Below is one pic from the top of Ophir Pass. The others are from Brooklyn Road. One of these is from the top where an old-ish Defender was parked. Colorado license. Looked like it might be someone from the Grand Junction area. Camel Trophy sticker on it. The driver was off hiking or climbing somewhere. In the other pic you can see, in the distance, what I believe are Ophir and Black Bear passes as they climb up from Highway 550.

Pictures are very pretty. We're thinking about heading there either this weekend (Sunday, Monday) or around the end of the month.
