I used to watch Robert Pepper, but I stopped. He's genuinely having a good crack, but he just had too many flaws and bias's in his analysis and reviews where I think John Cadogan has nailed it in the ones I've watched.Quote:

They are also working with fewer crew involved from concept to production.
Something has to give.

Yes Robert Pepper probably does the best 4X4 vehicle write ups and comparisons, at the moment.One of his latest on the Lexus GX550 is very good(in my opinion) only...Quote:

He was actually a member on here many years ago.
I like Robert Pepper's analysis and bought his book on 4wds when I got my first Land Rover, as I saw he had an orange Defender IIRC. I found his stuff on winch forces pointing out you only need about 300kgs (IIRC) of force to pull a vehicle spinning a wheel in a hole on level ground enlightening , so a 12 000 lbs winch is not always required as a lot of you tubers believe.Quote:

I immediately think of when a friend got bogged at the old Jardine crossing at what they called croc creek. 2 of us simultaneously parallel snatching couldn't get it out, until he restarted and assisted us. Mud is when you need all of that winch mumbo!Quote:
