Nice video !! Interesting that Steve mentioned his old Land Rover. There are several RTF videos that show 1960's Rubicon trips with a 1948-1950 Land Rover series I 80" wheelbase, and at least one of the videos shows a late 1950's / early 1960's Land Rover 109" station wagon. I wonder if either of those was his. On a side note, as awful as modern Land Rovers are, don't underestimate the rock climbing ability of the really old ones, even on 7.50x16 bias plies. I had just noticed a disbelieving chuckle by the interviewer when Steve mentioned climbing that hill in his old 1962 Land Rover 109" I've driven these obstacles and the rest of the Rubicon many times in my old Rovers, both in stock form and built.
