Default Lyle Pearson Land Rover Boise Trail Day

Our local Land Rover dealership had an "Adventure Day" last Saturday.

I'm not much of a photographer, but these are the best I could do.

BTW, the blue Tdi Disco is mine

Your RTE looks pretty good in the "teaser" pics you sent me.

I picked up two cornering and two driving 4000 lights from Kris.

They are poseur lights right now. Have to get wiring and relays so I can hook them up.

I'm going to assume the RRS is the pullee and not the puller. It's still nice to see somebody wheel at newer Range Rover (not to mention a Sport!!).

Correct. They hooked a D1 (in the pic) as an anchor. The 88" had the winch. I can't believe I didn't get the 88 in the pics.

There were several RR's there. I was upset about trail pinstriping on my paint. You should have seen the pinstriping on the Rangerovers.

I know that little hill where the RR got stuck doesn't look like much, but it's steeper than it looks. It's worn down and has lots of rocks. It's also off-camber towards the downhill and has a turn at the top. No problem for the modified rigs, bt the stockers with the low-profile tires had issues.

Where was this held? How often do you guys have runs? I would like to go on one of these runs, you don't know if they are planning on coming over to East Idaho anytime?

Skyler, hey there. This was in the desert in the Snake River Birds of Prey area south east of Boise.

The event was sponsored by Lyle Pearson Land Rover. Lea Magee (camel trophy guy) and a couple of local Idahoans took us from the dealership about 75 miles. Some nice trails. Couple of good obstacles, but lots of stock vehicles were there.

The dealership hasn't done anything like this in several years, but a large group of people from the trail ride have decided to try and get together more often.

Send me your info, and I will get you some contact info.

Jason
