Wheels, Rack, HPV questions

will check.

They are 19". the pic under my name is not the pic of my actual land rover. I found one which looked just like her and used that until I could take some of my own. Working with another forum member on how to get them posted. But they are 19". I'll get my pictures posted and show you. Have decided to keep what I have though after all.

Decided against trying inclines with my Land Rover on this trip. Thought about it, but after riding passenger in a friends, I got more than a little spooked, so will stick to the basic off roading for now. With the roof rack and gear, she was great though. Thanks Trynian and JD for your responses and info. Just heading up the mountain and the newness of her in the drivers seat took some getting used to. Rode that trail before, but for some reason, the Land Rover spooked me a bit with her higer or "taller profile".

It takes a lot of time to get the feel for what a new rig is capable of. Start slow and work your way into harder stuff as you feel comfortable. DO NOT give into peer pressure.

I've been to 40 degrees sideways and had no issues. What makes it feel so weird is the command seating up so high. But the real weight of the vehicle is very low due to the frame. I've seen others go to 45. Sideways is my least favorite thing to do off road.

Land Crzy. If you don't mind, the other forum members have been very helpful to me. Your statement of "we forum members" implies you are speaking for all forum members. Other members have offered me different ways to upload my pics.

I'd appreciate if you don't have information to share, you not comment on my discussions. If your comment was not intended to be sarcastic, I apologize, but it appears that way.
This is a forum for people to discuss their needs, ask questions, brainstorm, talk about their Rovers.

Instructions on how to use Photobucket here: http://www.ehow.com/how_2088877_use-photobucket.html

Once you have uploaded your images, you then go to your Photobucket gallery. Above each picture is a link called "share". Click that. Go to the tab that says "get link code". Go to the one that says "IMG for bulletin boards & forums" Copy what you see in the box and paste it into a post here. It will look something like this (only without the spaces)

[ IMG ] http : //i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/yourID/IMG_123.jpg [ /IMG ]

One other tip - resize the photos as needed (either before you upload them or within Photobucket using the "edit" link above each picture). My camera takes huge photos, and I always resize to small or medium (fits on the screen) before posting them online.

Hope this helps, once you are familiar with the process you can upload and post a photo in about 1 or 2 minutes.

You are welcome. Glad we could help. Those angles do get nerve racking. After a couple almost rollovers I became really nervous on small inclines so I put a lev-O-guage in so I know where I am at.

I am thinking this weekend of W.V. ... only thing is, it is some serious off roading, and I don't have the height/lift or tires to get through some of the terrain. I am unsure of the name of the place, do you know much about this area for 4WD off roading? Not looking for huge boulders to climb up obviously, or crater sized mud holes... although...
