The full version of this video shows them doing it in a Disco as well Thumbs Up

It’s hugely impressive and I like the original RRS a lot; give it a proper split tailgate and it would easily have been a “proper” Range Rover Very Happy

my thoughts^^^^^

I suspect they have a lower centre of gravity than a FFRR and a Fatty would not make that

Reckon you're right. Heavy ladder chassis keeping the weight low down. It was teetering in places as it was.

Camera trickery. Look at the trees at the end, they lean in towards the rock, but when showing vehicle climbing the trees are vertical or even slightly the other way at times.

Not so sure you're right there Bud, if you look at the Disco bit around 2.22 the trees are going straight up! And that Disco does what the Sport should have done.. picked up a wheel Shocked I bet they had Brown interiors Laughing Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
