Ah thank you! Computers and I don't always get along. Yes it was really cool to see that Rover. He works for an adventure company that sells kitted out rigs, safaris to Africa, that sort of thing. Sticker price on that one was 68K, with all the goodies was 73K. Had snorkel, drawer storage, tie down system, fridge, and water system. Very cool rig but not my style.

I'm humored by the fact that a) the Disco was last in line (so nobody got stuck behind him?) and b) the video cuts off before it even makes it through. Clearly the videographer wasn't impressed.

That's one way of looking at it. Had it been my group the Disco would not have been last. I don't see front recovery points. So I'd check to see if there is something off the back to tug him with just in case he needed a tug.
As far as being impressed, I am always impressed by the guys that take the less 'capable' rigs. The ones without big tires, lots of armor and not much lift. It takes a lot more finesse and strategy to get my Chevy Colorado through the same trails as my lifted, locked and 37" tired Cherokee. In some ways it is more fun to poke through with something that isn't just point and shoot.
