Awesome! You have guts!
I used to take my Defender in similar stuff but not the D3!

Aired down to 25lbs... Very muddy and loose rocks in the previous sections.
Staun bead lockers would definitely help, and could have aired down to 15lbs...
But in 18" it's $800! And I've heard they need maintenance, specially if mud/water creeps in...-------------------

Just did the inventory. Only missing one of the mouldings!
Also getting the number for a local guy that has airbags to pop the panels out... We'll see. Paint seems to have been mostly saved by the 3m rock guard film!...
I do have a weird noise in the front suspension, but I think it's bushing related (it actually started before the event, just got worse).-------------------

Did anyone notice I have no rear-view mirrors! Took the precaution to leave them at home!

Great Stuff Rover.
Looks like you lost a bead on that rear left tyre, was it?
BTW the spare looks a bit small & narrow, was that so you could lift it up there!

Spare is 32" vs 33" of the offroad tires. The issue is that the rim on the spare is stock... The offroad rims have offset, thus allowing for wider and taller tire... So I just bought the largest used tire that would fit with the rim...-------------------
