New here. Just joined the forum. Santa brought me (for a nominal fee of course) a new(ER) Range Rover. 2008 L322 HSE. Yes, I have a full fat Range Rover for off roading. Don't judge me.
I have lived down a few dirt roads in my life but that is the extent of my off roading experience. For me it's all about being able to explore nature and I'm most interested in long off road trips where I don't see other people for hours/months/days, thus my arrival here. My friend and I have been into backpacking, but we are not really active in that anymore(read Too Fat). We want to try something different and so we are both buying 4x4s. I just went luxurious on my choice. It will not always be a Chelsea Tractor, but it has to double as a commuter and family car no matter what I do to it.
So far my rig is bone stock. Image Below. And as you can see, I do not own any reliable cars now. But they are both fun.
My future plans:
brush guards
knobbier tires, but not a lot of clearance at access height.
roof rack (most likely Voyager rack)
Trail lights
Possibly ladder
CB
Expedition box with drawer in cargo area
Tough things that may never happen are:
rock sliders (tubular step sides are an option, but cannot speak to their strength. Otherwise custom will have to be made to fit stock mount points for the step sides.)
bull bar
winch
ladder
