I think CR is going to give the Moab folks a run for their money on how many shots make it into the VX calendar. Fantastic pics!

Yeah, Thanks CrotchRocket for the new desktop images.

Tyres are number one really - protection is next and a lift is 3rd I'd say. It really depends what type of terrain you're covering when you're out and about.

I agree with this, tires are THE most important. After i excavated my driveway, I tried going up the dirt incline on my stock rubber with no luck. But after I switched over to my BFG MTs, she walked right up there with barely a tap of the gas.

I wouldn't put protection next if you're mainly going to do the mud thing. A moderate lift is the way to go. That way you can get larger tires to get even more clearance.

However, if you are upsizing your tires then the lift becomes #1.

Well yeah folks, but I was assuming more rocky stuff than muddy stuff given what you folks on the "wrong" side of the Atlantic seem to do ( ). I've done tyres then lift as most of my outings are of the wet sort...

I love it when people (mainly Land Rover drivers) do the "its just a soft-roader" thing and then stand open-mouthed as you cruise over, around and up the sort of things that have them snapping halfshafts!

Never try to "show boat" off-road-- you will only impress the recovery tow truck driver.

Great advice!!!!! I wish I would have done this, but I did not and blew up my CV joint
