An interesting watch. Hard to see how they thought it would ever work with that huge weight and smooth tyres! James

I did see that
Thought it odd that they apparently drove it across America to the port rather than backload it? |

It was as wide as most of the roads so sending it by rail was also out, I doubt that they had many trailers and tractor units powerful enough to haul it to trailer it across. It must also have been hard to find a route where there were bridges strong enough to withstand 55t. Even today moving > 45t is a headache.

Liked the idea of it being "dredged up by a trawler "

I enjoyed that, thank you for posting. Who would have thought that weight and those tyres would struggle! It may have inspired LR to put Pirelli PZeros on the D3 and try and move it on wet grass!
