Madmark · 04-05-2015, 21:53

Went to local local and pay day with couple of mates with two kitted discos adefender and a shogun. its called muddy bottom and its awesome fun. Very mudddy due to weekends worth of rain. And Terrano performed perfectly just a bent steering idler arm and a weeks worth of cleaning ahead of me. Definatey need bigger tyres as ground clearance is the only thing holding it back now. Big open space and proper hard core bits there for ful on challenge trucks the best £25 I've spent in a long time this was my second visit so now wanna build a proper truck or make mine even more extreme havnt decided which yet

When I see vehicles in mud holes I always wonder why they just didn't drive around them, and take the dry route.

Maybe I haven't got a "grip" of what off roading is lol... and neither has the guy in the mud...

I went through a fair bit of mud in my early years with the truck, at one point upto the axles, five minutes in the Mud, three hours cleaning it all off from underneath lol...Fortunately our tarmac drive slopes down to the road, and we have a street drain a few feet away... Three hours later, no evidence of any mud on my Mav or the road... The street drain is really deep though... well it was at the start.

The street cleaners, often clear the drain sumps too.

A guy down the road has off road motorbikes, and he has put his fair share of mud down his drain too. Luckily we are at the top of a hill, so no standing water here.

I think the terranos would be much better with live front axles instead of independent.
Also the break over angle would be better with a swb than a lwb.

I built a dedicated off road vehicle which would probably be the way to go for you too

Everyone gotta start some where and getting stuck is how you learn that. Even my truck went places I thought it wouldn't and surprises alot of people only got stuck twice as driver error and had it been swb it wouldn't have on one occasion. But my mate had swb and climbing steep hills the lwb was better due to having that bit more weight over rear wheels so there is for and against for both. The main prob I have I rear over hang it often pulls rear bumper off. But no biggy as just clip it back on. I'm thinking of making it removable. Yes live front axel would be good but as most things you'll get to another level in off roading that the truck will struggle with so for me its as good as it needs to be. If I want it to go more placed id just build a challenge truck
