Thanks Nicholas.

Yeah the video tugging the Patrol will be a separate thing. Need more controversy on my channel, not enough already. Hahaha.

Guys that looks like great place to go wheeling. Love the shot of the circle work with the kids hanging out the sun roof but I can see you coping some slack for it soon.

I will have to put this one on the list of drives for when the mighty jeeps finally makes an appearance.

Nice! Looking at them, I'm thinking I should've gotten them instead of the 762's, those look sharper, maybe they cut through . Nice, nice.

Great video mate
Great video, the Jeep seemed to do it a lot easier then the Patrol in a lot of areas, but wouldn't more suspension travel be great, they seem to lift wheels fairly quickly compared to the Patrol.

IMO if that was achievable, it would make the Grand incredible. The traction control sure looks effective too

Great stuff

Great video. I thought the Patrol did it a bit easier than the Jeep, however, and this is the most important, the Jeep still made it look easy.

The lack of travel makes the jeeps action look more dramatic and great for camera, but definitely does not stop it achieving everything other vehicles can do. If you learn how to drive it you can actually use the lack of travel to get up steeper steps eg as you put your left tyre up high on a small rock and the other lifts off the ground you get a much better approach angle for a bigger step on the right side. I got up the step in the video below 2nd attempt this way and this 4 inch lift cruiser with 34 muddies had to get snatched out
