Hey all...
While I have been on some rather simple trails, they paled in comparison to what I hit today. Narrow, rock strewn, trees down, wash out ruts, the works. It was AWESOME.
I was invited to tag along with some of the Jeep & Land Cruiser folks from the ExpoPortal forum to tour some potential trails for an upcoming East Coast event this fall. Mind you, I am a complete NOOB off-roading. But I will tell you this, the LR3 did absolutely fantastic. So much so, one of the Land Cruiser guys mentioned how well the rig did. Jeep's were sliding all about, spinning tires in ruts. Not the LR3 - up, over and out with no troubles whatsoever.
Did have a failure though. Weird one. After running for well over 1.5 hours on the really rough trail, the groups gets back out to a regular dirt road and *blink* there goes my fuel gauge. The yellow light comes on and it says I have no fuel. I freaked for a second, but recalled I had almost 3/4's a tank. Got underneath, nothing. Not even a ding in the tank skid. I am thinking gauge cluster has a problem or the sender is toast...thoughts?
At any rate, here are a couple shots of the others. They took photos too, I post them up when I get them.
