Quite an achievement and a fantastic drive up the mountain road just to get to the steps. Id be surprised if there wasnt damage underneath though, seemed to ground as it came off the top steps! Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Presumably the two cables laid up the steps are a safety wire? They seem to move as he drives over them and in some shots appear closer together behind the car than in front, so I guess they go through an emergency locking device under the car? Doesn’t detract from the achievement, it’s a long way back down! 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

To avoid overheating climbing at 45° over an extended distance they could simply install some extra cooling on the bonnet like they do for travel across central Australia!
