Thread: AULRO training DVD fund raiser?

Top idea !

The new models, in particular, seem to have more undocumented features being discovered every day. There is no doubt that while they may need less driver skill to drive off-road they also need more knowledge to perform at their best.
Knowing what the vehicle is capable of can also be a safety issue !
A comprehensive DVD of this nature would have a much wider appeal than just AULRO and should be able to attract selected commercial sponsors.
The idea has my support.
(the P38a would need a disk of it's own !)

Great idea! There are certainly a lot of features that new LRs have.

For example with my FL2 when your washer fluid is running low the headlight washers will no longer function or the over boost function of the turbo that can give you more power under certain conditions.

Myself I would like to know more details about the drive train and how the diffs and traction control operate. I am happy to donate my time for recording and editing the video. I have an OK video camera and am proficient with Final Cut Pro on the Mac.

Hi Inside, may very well take you up on that offer.

Have to get a bit better sorted so I can see what people are interested in seeing on a training video.

I’ve had a look at few that are available and most don’t really cover all that much.

I would imagine that there will be heaps of room on a 2 hour DVD to be able to include clips of AULRO members in action as well.

But will see hope the idea develops.

Cheers and thank for the offer.

Hi ivery819 ( and everybody else ), please post a list of any specific thinks you would like to see so I and others can get some things rolling.

Cheers

For the D3, where do you start!

Jacking.
The drive train.
TR - There's probably a DVD in this alone!
Air suspension
DSC - When and how this thing works!
Limp home mode. Haven't experienced it and don't want to!
Recovery points.
Wading depth and the location of critical electronics.

Tim,

Here's the cynic in me floating to the surface. I know you would have thought this through (and I for one think its a good idea) but how would the information covered be vetted for accuracy?

You'd be leaving yourself open for criticism (at least) from those nit pickers who need a issue to vent on. Examples are the trashing (right or wrong) of articles and write-ups in the 4WD mags.

Maybe there's a lawyer amongst us who could write a good CYA rider.

Sorry Tim......
I do agree totally that there are many unexplained features...a great idea
