Connecticut DII newb - Land Rovers Only

J Visci · 07-08-2008, 05:13 PM

My name is Jim(I post as DOHC Holliday on Dweb.) I'm relatively quiet and usually just search through posts, but I will chime in when I feel I can help. Thanks for looking and hopefully I can meet some people near here.

Just recently picked up an '04 Discovery. Pretty mild w/ OME suspension and some 265/75 BFGs. Just figured I'd see if anyone in the lower part of New England was on here. I'm really looking for some people to go out with on random weekends so I can get a feel for the new truck. See what it's capable of and see what I can do with it as well. I never got to use my old D1much and I really want to get out with this thing.

No good pics yet. Just from my phone. Spent most of yesterday cleaning it out and I ditched the front A bar.

Congrats on the G4 I hope everything works out for you with her.

We have a small club most of the members are from mass and nh with a few hiding in maine. We go wheeling about once a month as a club your more than welcome to tag along if you can make it. It's a good group and we usually have a great time. We have everything from stock disco's and RRC's to some fairly well modded out RRC's and Disco II.

Here is the link to the Club Forum

SNHLR - Southern New Hampshire Land Rovers

and here are some pics from our last ride on the 6th of July.

Nice truck!

Hope you get to use it to it's fullest.

Here's mine...

J Visci · 07-10-2008, 06:47 PM

Oh yea. I plan on using it as much as possible. As long as I've got the extra gas $$$ I have no excuses not to take this thing out.

And thanks again for your support over on Dweb, ArmyRover. I will definitely check out the site and see if I can make a run up there.

sick d2, i've driven through shit i didn't think possible on stock suspension and street tires on my rover. (this weekend proved that to me), you're lucky to be buying one so modded already. have fun

No problem the rover community is to small not to help each other out.

KevinNY · 07-10-2008, 08:42 PM

Living on the edge Deeker? How wet was your air box after that one?

deeker · 07-10-2008, 10:43 PM

Kevin - the drop-in was a bit steep, but other than that it wasn't too terribly deep. A small wet spot in the bottom corner of the airbox... this time.

Maybe a snorkel isn't a bad idea??? There's lots of terrain like that up here.

J V - hopefully you get things sorted out. All the best in that. Enjoy the truck and get used to lots of strange looks.
