here are some pics from an event that was arranged mid-July in Raajärvi in Northern Finland. There were several rangies, but also other makes (toyos etc.), two of the range rovers have portal axles, volvos in mine and mogs in Mika's, it's a white 2-door one, it also has tractor type tyres, I have tsls.
The first album contains pictures of more build vehicles, the other two are mainly of almost standard ones.
Here are also some videos that were taken from the same event, these are 10-15MB/min quality. The first one (A-studio 6.8.2004.wmv) is not related to this event.
The summer has been quite wet, and the swamps were very soft, this results in a lot of winch usage, which you can see in the videos.
This is one of the best events I have participated, Pyhä-Hyppylä hill trail was something sweet, it was so wet all the time I don't think I had more than 1500rmp there, and I was not able to use low range 2nd gear, since there was a big risk to spin and go more down than forward. Sneaking and creeping, that the name of the game in the swamps most of the time. But if you know how to do it you can go through very wet spots.
Hope you find these entertaining.

), I think the height (max +150mm compared to the very original, including tyres, not sure how accurately this was measured in practise) and tyres (18" rim, need at least 80km/h speed rating) were the biggest problems (challenges I mean).
