If it meets all of their wading criteria, that’s actually pretty impressive.

It’s easy to vacuum in water from hot diffs, transfer box etc. you need breathers going quite a way above 1 metre.

So it’s nearly as deep as mine but without the wet feet 😂

Is the seat (Bass) named after a beer, a fish or does it have a big subwoofer?

Did you know that Bass was the first trademark registered in the UK?
Wikipedalo wrote:Bass was a pioneer in international brand marketing. "Many years before 1855"[38] Bass applied a red triangle to casks of its Pale Ale. After 1855 the triangles were red, white or blue depending on which of three breweries it came from, but all bottles of Pale Ale had the red triangle from that date.[38] The blue triangle was briefly revived after World War II for Pale Ale that was not bottle conditioned. The Bass Red Triangle was the first trade mark to be registered under the UK's Trade Marks Registration Act 1875.[39] The Act came into effect on 1 January 1876 and legend has it that a Bass employee queued overnight outside the registrar's office on New Year's Eve in order to be the first in line to register a trade mark the next morning. As a result, Bass, Ratcliff & Gretton Limited received the first six registrations, the Bass Red Triangle for their pale ale and the Bass Red Diamond next for their strong ale (Numbers 3 to 6 have been abandoned).[40] The trade marks are now owned by Brandbrew SA, an InBev subsidiary based in Luxembourg.[41] In June 2013 InBev renamed Bass Pale Ale as Bass Trademark No.1.[42]

I have heard that before but had forgotten. Still one of my favourite ales.

I’m not sure that LR need a Bronco Raptor rival but it’s pretty cool.
