syoung said:I think my favourite episode was when I was driving for the hospitals here a few years ago in 19" of fresh snow and came across a military H1- stuck. I rolled down the window and offered the guy a ride- He politely declined and said he had to stay with the truck, then asked where the Land Rover dealer is and if I thought they'd be open during the storm.

syoung said:Stock- you can fit a 225-70-16 easily and some people run 225-75-16 although some brands can rub a bit. With the DAP lift (2") you can't really go bigger than 225-75 because of the stock wheel offset and the strut spring perches. Run some Ford Ranger wheels and you can do 31"
syoung said:Axel- Once you experience a panic stop in a Freelander, it's hard to believe how well they stop, eh? Freelanders really are great at a lot of things, but I agree- for MOAB, I'd take my Disco. For a run to the store in 2 feet of snow, I'd take the Freelander.
