trail is located on my buddy John's land in North Kingston Nova Scotia ...The same property that John hosts the NS Jeep Jamboree...The trail is a very tight off camber trail with lotsa hill climbs and some VERY steep decents on the side of the North mountain in the Annapolis Valley... We will be running the trail for the first time on October 23rd as we will be hosting the NSJC (Nova Scotia Jeep Club) Fall Crawl...everyone and anyone with a Jeep is invited...Steve?? come join us?? More info can be found on the NSJC message board

As I watched the Rover, I knew a Jeep could have done better. And Voile, it did.

I think it's just the fact that I had the opportunity to watch him attack it first which told me that I wasn't gonna be able to just crawl it, I needed momentum... The Rover "50" is a very sweet rig...all coils, front and rear factory lockers (not on for the climb), axles equivalent to a D44 and a low end torque diesel engine...

It wasn't called the Rover 50 here - we called it a Defender 90. No lockers as standard though, but stronger and more capable than any current Jeep bar a Rubicon out of the box.

You're right Dave...that is what it is...it's been a rough Thankgiving weekend here ;)...yes he had it shipped from the UK...

How are the lockers actuated?

Did he say why he wasn't locked?

That one was a Real Landy, I think.
