Was definitely a step in the right direction. Having said that I've decided to go back to the S/T Maxx on the Defender (which is realistically a crossover between mud and A/T formats) and absolutely rate them against anything out there at the moment. The Triton on BFG's got hung up a few times in thick mud and the Defender just cruised through. Video will be posted later this week.
@0thingthing0 Funny you should mention that - just had all of the sensors light up the dash like a christmas tree last week. Car automatically lowered itself and kept freaking out. Problem: Sensors full of mud. ON closer inspection 1 sensor actually had to be replaced for all of the extra wear and tear from mud runs.
Do you mean fuel Range or RRS vs RR? If you are talking fuel range, my vehicle is a TDV6 diesel and in road trim gets 9 liltres per 100kms. With racks and gear on the roof you lose a lot of the aerodynamics and combined with a bigger set of offroad tyres and fully loaded with gear and family on board it takes it up to around 12.5ltr/100kms. Towing a 1.5tonne offroad camper behind takes it up to around 17ltrs/100kms but I am a bit of a lead foot and cruise at the speed limit.

What wheels are on the sport?
Awesome vid, see you changed the tyres and rims to something more suitable. Good idea. Seemed to match the Triton for grip this time.
Another good vid, Jamie. I see Santa looked after you with a snorkel. :-)

Awesome Mate.
Can't wait to see the next trek with everything set-up.

Hey mate, how much of the Range Rover rig is custom? Other than the tires, roof racks and snorkel ?
She had a Llams height control kit and the rest was standard.
@KevDrover
Hey Kev,
he also dropped off an ARB Awning and 35ltr fridge. Black Betty is a very lucky girl ;-)

Seems like too slime wheels on RRS
@JamieOGilmore i have a mate who works at all4x4 he mentioned your car lol
Is this a 2007 sport? Does the Vogue have a longer wheel base?

Yes it's a 2007. The vogue (also referred to jovially at the "Full Fat" Range Rover) has a longer wheelbase.
