I've been crossing several ditches with my 04 Disco and was wondering is it OK??? there all like about 3-4 FT deep and I sometimes get 2 wheels air-borne. Could this damage any suspension components on my LR??

I have a 96 disco and the suspension is just springs and shocks. I'm not sure how yours is set up. My feeling is Land Rovers were built for what you are doing with it. I use mine for rock crawling and river crossing and hill climbing. If you type in "Land Rover Video" into Yahoo you will find videos of Rovers doing what they do best. The only thing that I would say is Speed is what breaks things so if you do what you do slowly you will probably have no problems.

Have fun
Bill

If you made it thru, it is OK. The only thing you want to watch is stuffing a tire too far into the wheel well and cutting a side wall.
