off road

[crotchrocket]

Let me give you a visual example....I went off roading in my stock VX once before modding, this is result 1 !!

STUCK STUCK STUCK









your 2 main issues are traction and ground clearance!

you need to lift the VX and add some good size all terrain or mud terrain tyres (plenty of threads on both on this site) and you'll be 90% there for most easy to medium off road courses / trails

After those 2 mods mine goes pretty much anywhere i dare!!

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!
