Hey Lee, another great shot of your D5 with real dirt in it, using it out bush. I’ve one! I like your intrepid approach to luxury!

No axle articulation... My $800 ****box range rover would have idled over the point wherre it was stuck without even breaking a sweat. Be buggered if I'd slam my $800 ****box into a rock like he did with that though! His only real issue is it was lifting a wheel. Why didn't the traction control shift the power to the wheels with grip?
He kept backing off to have another try rather than hold a steady throttle, as evidenced by the car rolling backwards after each attempt.
Yes a medium to high level of power needs to be kept on and after a little while you will know if you are going to move on or not.
Nice! Does it have proper torque biasing diffs .... If so, touching the brake pedal gently is probably the go. I don't trust crappy electronics to do the power transfer (as by the time I could afford one if 15years time .... it'll all be broken and pretty much throw-away as its unrepairable).
seeya,

It’s amazing what a set of ATs will do and transform its ability! Aim for a 70 series tyre, DSC off, select the correct off-road mode, select “manual” and use the paddles to control acceleration not the auto and you will drive past most who are stuck!
