Off-Road Adventure Turns Into a RESCUE MISSION - Can We Even Make It Through?

What was supposed to be a casual Sunday off-road ride turned into a full-on recovery mission!
I took my Land Rover Discovery 2 into the Apuseni Mountains, joined by a Discovery 3, a VW T4 van, and… a Skoda Octavia. (Yes, really.) We faced deep snow, icy trails, and one stuck vehicle after another.
With street tires, low ground clearance, and unexpected obstacles, this trip quickly became less about exploring and more about getting everyone unstuck. Winching, towing, and some questionable recovery methods-this ride had it all.
Watch as we battle the elements, push our rigs to the limit, and learn some hard lessons along the way.

Bro you need a Duster to open the track! :))

[@xpDiscovery2Overlanding]

Next time I’ll call you 😂

[@TAPOffroad]

[@xpDiscovery2Overlanding]

Always 😂

[@Sergentu99]

So many recovery attempts here 🤣 great vlog 🫶

[@xpDiscovery2Overlanding]

Good that they were also successful in the end 🤣

[@spookythecat3055]

the LR3 had by far the best tyre to open the road, AT are way better in snow than MT, and yeah for sure that lack of center diff is really hitting you big time

[@xpDiscovery2Overlanding]

True and true.

[@raletudor]

Loved the hot chocolate part ❤

[@xpDiscovery2Overlanding]

It was definitely worth the wait

[@Pitstopcomponents]

Center lock diff and a kinetic rope are sooo helpfull. Without bragging, my Jeep ZJ has viscous center diff, where rear tires get 80% power until front tires do not spin as fast as rears, then it levels out to 50%f/50%r, and with a limited slip rear it is almost impossile to get stuck in deep snow, my deepest was about 50cm depth, axles and stuff was already dragging, but if you just keep on spinning the tires you will slowly eat your way forward. So i would say those mods on the Discovery would sure make deep snow capabilities a lot better. And the kinetic rope works wonders, you could get a whole truck unstuck with your Discovery...

[@xpDiscovery2Overlanding]

True, I'll check the center diff as soon as possible and see what I can do. It's definitely a must. And about bigger tires: idk yet since Disco is already a very slow car. But I'll see.

[@spookythecat3055]

yeah do it for the comparasion

[@xpDiscovery2Overlanding]

Will do soon

[@raletudor]
