Trail ratings
I'm not sure if you guys across the pond have the same trail ratings we do here, but what would you feel safe taking a stock LR3 on? It'll have to be drivable for 600-800 miles home.

If you're on the OE road tyres without a rear eLocker, I'd suggest 'mild' would be your safest limit. Otherwise moderate. Extreme only if you have mud tyres and under/side body protection.

Same thoughts here, still on all seasons, and no locker.

CMG,
Have you seen the videos from there? their moderate may include some large rocks thats could stop you in your tracks, dont get me wrong the D3 is sweet, but you'll be seeing jeep's with 33'"s and up with lifts and least a locker on moderate trails..., although those jeeps archaic compared the D3, but they do have better ground clearance, you will be able to out hill climb them for sure but If its anything like Rausch creek in PA, I'd stick to the two lower trails, especially without sliders or skids, just my .02 from a fellow East coast wheeler

I will just stay on the stock and mild trails.
Thanks everyone for the input.17 Discovery 5 HSE Si6, Fuji White on brown | 07 LR3 SE 4.4 Java Black on Alpaca
