Only 7 minutes to show 4500 miles? Come on, you know they have hundreds upon hundreds of hours of amazing footage, I wouldn't mind seeing a 2-hour documentary on this adventure; something that I have been thinking of doing with a couple friends for a little while now.

Hey Monica! It's great that you are in the market for an lr4! I've owned an lr3, it's virtually the same vehicle as the lr4 structurally, I'd suggest getting an extended warranty covering atleast 100k or more. As much as I loved my lr3, the amount of random electrical issues and structural issues was unacceptable. Thank god I had the extended warranty, if it wasn't for that I would have had to pay over $20k out of pocket. Just a tip, try not to open the sunroof, the drains for that tends to clog very easily. Even with the sunroof closed, one time after a heavy downpour, I came to open the back door and water poured out of my truck... But I still miss Burtha... Even tho she had a lot of issues, she took me places I've never been before.. And if your still reading this... I love you... Lol

My Uncle worked his whole life for Rover & Land Rover in Birmingham, he had loads of great stories but one that sticks in my mind was how he worked on the Rover 2000, a great car, but he worked on the Gas Turbine version! Yes they actually made a Jet Engine powered street car....sadly i believe they only made a couple of proto-types, then they dropped the gas turbine engine for a standard petrol engine. See if you can find one of those Jay....

I wonder if LR has used footage from this video to sell the LR4. If this doesn't prove the of-road worthiness of LR SUV's I don't know what does. Having said that...if I were to buy a LR the LR4 would be the one over the RR and the Supercharged Sport...simply because LR has chosen to follow other SUV design in sloping the backend forward. So you loose space out back to carry bulky items. You loose trunk space.

Would be amazing if Jay was able to organize some kind of cross-country road trip for enthusiasts. Have people sign up, maybe pay some entrance fee or something to support the event, and drive trails like this and others across the US with a big convoy. Sort of like the Gumball rally, but not really a race, nor on roads (apart from stops for food or visiting classic Americana diners along the way, etc.). Keeping the automotive enthusiasm alive and do what we all love, driving.

Very cool. Im kinda suprised there isnt anyway to do it from starting further east than Asheville, N.C. There are lots of unpaved, off the beaten path roads and trails on the east coast all the way to NJ and all across PA, not to mention north, northeast, south, and southeast ranging from Maine to Florida. But this is very very cool and its crazy that it was made and disvovered by one guy.
