pretty sweet. I'd like to see that video redone with a few obstacles in place though (potholes, rocks, etc).

Poor Billy!!!

I wonder if the cameras would even capture the outboard edges of my tires???

It looked like they simulated the tires in the vid.

That's what I thought too but it said that you could track tire angle.

Plexiglass footwells work just as good and way cheaper ;) Buggies been doing it for years now.

In a way this makes me think back to that year in Moab....we were coming off Poison Spider when the then yet to be released LR3 was being pimped to new perspective buyers. They payed a fee to be piled into them so they could be piloted through the trail by guys in suits. They had camera crews and people dressed in slacks/polo shirts and straw brimmed hats "spotting" even though there was no obstacle :) ...I guess they've been replaced.
