Maybe just have plenty of winch points for them?

another thing to take into consideration for the build grover is wheel base lengths.
some things a 100'' disco will get up a 90 can struggle on and vise versa. certian placement of holes/logs/boulders can create havoc with different length/makes of 4x4.
same with turning circles, dont make things to tight unless you have a chicken track or the like.

Cheers, i had put this into consideration... seeing we have such a wide range of vehicles... ranging from The Discovery, Range Rover a 109 and 88. Then we have Haflingers and Pinzgauers.

Time will see what is decided on. Seeing there are so many options. The last thing i want to do is build something which only damages my panels on the Disco.

I have been thinking about places it could be, i would like it to be out of view of the house. So i was thinking of utilising a old trail which goes around the back of our house. Which already has some good sections. Only thing would be the random 4x4ers we get on out property getting a sniff of it and coming out when not welcome.

Let me get back to you on that one

Its a great idea. All you have yo do is make it happen.

I've thought of doing it here as well. I'd set the coarse up to suit a 100" wheel base (Rangie Park)
We also have some natural steep land formations with a mix of rocks here.

A lot can be done with a few old power poles or logs, Rocks and Tyres with the help of a compact back hoe or similar.

If you start running small comps etc just keep liability in mind Insurance etc.
