sweet d1 on speed's dangerous drives, right now.

few things I noticed..

Why doesn't that heep have lockers?!

The guy said his rover wouldn't make it up

It does only have a/t while everyone else has m/t

rovers driving with the check engine and ABS light on

 

disco is a standard and already has a bad headlight

 

A little over dramatized but a decent episode over all.

 

What I noticed.

1st, I would kill for a trip like this...

The rover is a D1. Looks just like my 96 with same alpine white paint.

The Rover has had the dash curl fix installed.

The rover is driven to the site, while the jeeps ride on a truck.

The rover leads the way.

The rovers struts are yellow.

The rover has a lower lift that the other trucks, and it's the limitation that causes the issues you see.

The quote @ 25:00 "Hey why don't we slow down and wait for Simly" (Rover) Cracked me up.

The pass headlight was working in the beginning, but out on day 2. So he must have broke it.

Last but not least... The rover did the same trip at the 3 extremely modified jeeps with what looks like not much more than a lift, and a winch bumper...

 

I saw the cel light too, I just laughed. basically a pretty common rover (not much more equipement then we all could afford) was leading 3 extremly modified jeeps. those jeeps were test vehicles for that offroad parts company and were loaded with everything in their line, one was a total body conversion to a truck, the other had a hemi swap. as for the headlight, the clips must have broke, cause it was totally gone.

 

That's bullsh*t, I can't watch it from Canada.... It says they don't have streaming rights to stream internationally.

 

That was a fun video, thanks. The Disco seemed to be a supply vehicle. It was funny though, how they would have a 15 year old Disco out there running with these top of the line expensive modified Jeep trucks. The Disco almost stole the show, and it wasn't even in very good shape. I bet it had seen a lot of off-road miles already.

 

My guess is he was a good friend of the shop guys, that they knew was a competent offroader. he found out they were doing a show and wanted in. you don't do a trip like that in those conditions, without knowing your group is all capable. Out there things can go south quick.
