    How does this Land Rover driver do this?

    Seems like it would be real easy to drop a tire off of the tracks and come crashing down on one side of this arched track.

    The angle going up is insane - no way the driver can see where he is going.

    Plus, the guy underneath just stays there, not even concerned he might have the vehicle land on him. Yikes.

    The arch and ramp are made out of channeled steel which has a raised lip on either side, helping to steer the wheels.

    I think he means, how does he keep a Land Rover running that long without electrical failure.

    The Defender is something else, a very reliable truck. I have owned 2 Defenders and all "knock on wood" very reliable.

    Looks like Defenders do well in the snow too.
