L322 Range Rover TDV8 at Zig Zag in Lithgow New South Wales Australia. It is in standard trim on Highway tyres with open diffs relying on the terrain response system to get through a very difficult trail.
The Terrain Response was set in Rock Crawl mode and Offroad height for the suspension which rose into extended mode early on in the track. You can clearly see that a locker would have made the climb much easier as it could be used pro-actively prior to slippage, rather than a reactive system (Terrain Response) where you need to slip a tyre first before the system kicks in.
The highway low profile tyres took a beating on this track and often lost air as the majority of the vehicle weight shifts to one corner. They also struggled to grab and find traction. By the end the tyres had cuts and bits of tread missing. Also lost air completely out of one tyre and had to send in the mighty Landcruiser to air up the flat tyre.
We hope you guys enjoy this 4wd video and look forwarding to reading your comments.
