Project update : Snow problem

The conditions at Winter Romp were crazy slippery, even for Maine in February. I tried airing down to 15psi to get more traction. The snow and ice just laughed, so I let the pressure down to 8psi and that was the magic number for the Nittos. This turned into a good test for the new Terrafirma rims. Whether it be on the trail or street the bead never came off the wheels.

The P38 is the first Land Rover I was afraid to play in the water with. Every crossing was done only after I knew how deep the water was.  Next week I am going to focus on doing something with the BECM and ECU.

Unfortunately the Winter Romp was not kind to the P38s Fender flares.  The tight trails and low hanging tree branches were like driving through the living forest of Middle Earth and someone told the trees that each flare was a Ring of Power.

We will have to get the heat gun out and bend the flare back into shape but with out them we could not stuff the 33s like this.
