Done well there DCPU

35x12.50R17 LT

One of the external door mounted spare tyres seems to have a Duratrac tyre on it (distinctive tread pattern). Looks positive the rear wheel carrier can handle the 35 wheel.

Or maybe same vehicles but different trip, as Sir Jim is referenced in this video:

I thought that was the spare in the boot?

Other photos of the "Tracker" vehicle on 35"s seem to show a different spare being carried on the rear door:

It does look bloody good on 35's.

I was going for 33's, might have to reconsider. Subject space for spare, lift, arches etc etc

Distinctive sidewall pattern.

I think you are spot on spy DCPU but what was the other vehicle?

While we’re forensically looking over the pics…’Sani Pass’ ring a bell to anyone. A quick Google reveals a 4WD trek in South Africa…

Distinctive sidewall pattern.

Yes that does look the same, but I'm struggling with the tyre width of the spare in that photo not looking like a 12.50; and other photos in the series with the door shut shows the spare to be dimensionally similar to normal spares.

Thanks DCPU.

But where is the fuel ?

 

[bemax]

Thanks DCPU.

But where is the fuel ?

You didn’t asked that question when you saw three old men in dune buggies driving 1000 km up the Namibian coast, did you?
(Grand Tour, Namibia Special Fire those of you who didn’t watch it)

 

[Max]

Thanks DCPU.

But where is the fuel ?

In the support vehicle which has not been identified as yet...spies please

 

[DCPU]

Thanks DCPU.

But where is the fuel ?

Hang on, I've got this bloke checking for secondary tanks...

I think the sticker was left on the vehicle for both trips ~ this is a screenshot from the first episode of the Namibian adventure and sticker is visible :

 

[DCPU]

or did they have a support vehicle that we didn't see in the video.

There's another vehicle in the background of this shot in the first episode ~ moving from right to leftb

 

[DCPU]

Lovely videos.

No roof racks for extra gear, shade awning etc. & no jerry cans with extra fuel, so tents and provisions in the back of the Grenadiers or did they have a support vehicle that we didn't see in the video.

Or very possibly, given that their guide is the brand manager for Wilderness Safaris’ Explorations department in Namibia , a series of 5* luxury camps with swimming pools, WiFi, champagne, laundry service, etc for north of $1,000 per person per day...they valet parked each night and someone else filled the tank each morning?

It's the same part of the world JLR launched the new Defender to the press by taking them out in small groups on an all expenses paid bun fight.

I went up Sani Pass in 2020 in my defender. Once into Lesotho you get the highest pub in Africa

Great video in Namibia. I am, however, surprised to find that in the predominantly black African area of sub-Saharan Africa 100% of the people appearing are white. Any comments Ineos?

 

[DCPU]

A few more snaps trawled off social media:

At 3.23 in Episode 3, you see the spare of the third vehicle...where are the tyre spies?
