Think only modded Land Rovers are good off road?

Check out this guys Land Rover Range Rover Sport, not really even meant to be used off road but it's still more capable to do so than most other non-Land Rover vehicles. Thats nearly 90 degrees up and down a wall.

It's more around 70*, and just about any lower SUV-type vehicle with short front and rear over hangs can do it. It's more impressive that he had the balls to do it.

Yeah, luckily street tires get very good traction on rocky surfaces and things like that. If he had mud tires or something he would of been screwed.

Would love to see just about any vehicle make it up that hill, that isn't a Land Rover or a HMMWV. The majority try, then roll on top of themselves.

I've seen stuff like that before. A mid-90s 2-door tahoe without a lift did it. Except when I saw him do it he was smart and used his winch as a safety net (slacked cord, though). No sense in dying for trying.

That was pretty cool. Looked like at one point with the wrong move the back end would have swapped places with the front.
