I totally agree. in the video, he said he had been on these trails over a dozen times. He was acting as the guide, reading the map etc. I wonder if those dozen of so times where all in his rover?

I don't have speed channel at home and I wanted to watch it on the net. I've been searching for 2 hours for a working video and didn't find any.

As far as I can tell it only needed help twice.
Really does not benefit the jeeps as it shows the Rover is pretty capable with minor modification.

The dash curl is the curling of the dash from being in the sun. It was a really poor design and landrover has a fix for it, which is basically a couple molded plastic strips that you screw down and hold the dash pad in place. can be a pain in the butt job with the windshield in to fix (I've done it to my 96) But with the windshield out it would be about a 10 minute job. Looks factory when your done. You can get the strips for about 20 bucks. The other option is to remove the windshield, use an industrial glue and clamp the pad down until the glue holds. I have not done this, but have seen shops that do it.
