What an 80 is capable of ......

I happened across this which is an entertaining demo .....



There must be other good videos out there, post what you've got ?

Tyres and could do with dropping the tyre pressure as well. Wonder if he had any wheel wobble through the steering after doing that!

+1 tyres looked all wrong, I wouldn't let him near my truck complete disrespect for mechanical endurance and durability, less brute force more thinking required methinks!

I was more interested in the capability of the vehicle ... and in some circumstances brute force is what is required. Whether you'd do it to your vehicle is a different question altogether. Yep, the tyres were iffy, but let's celebrate the capability of the car.

Couldn't agree more. I was cringing watching most of that

I think the answer is almost anything you throw at it

No harm or foul in buying a vehicle to use and abuse i reckon its his money and he will enjoy it as he chooses , you can't fault the truck's ability though i'm pretty sure i would have been in trouble on that route in my shorty .

Agreed Shayne, but I'm sure he could have made life a bit easier for himself and the truck.

He got there in the end, but it was a bit wham bam ....

 

[Shayne]

Yes made me cringe a few times .

I'd love to do that route can you imagine any of the park authorities over here letting it remain open

It's an entertaining video, I'd love to see a well trained driver in an 80 doing the same route, it'd be very educational

 

[Crispin]

I think that has less to show what an 80 can do but more showing what an 80 can put up with. A lot of that looks like it might have been doable with a lighter foot but he seems to be enjoying the binary on-off action on the go pedal.

On of his other vids a defender 90 with a busted front diff is being winched around the place. That's what makes the LC different.

enjoyed that,it's not often hills look steep on video
fair play to him for having a go on those tyres
he's a better 80 driver than me

more practice next sunday for me...
