A Range Rover has won the Malaysian Rainforest Challenge. In the last four years it has been won by three Range Rovers, and all winners over the last four years are Aussies. When are some of you American boys going to come over and give it a shot?

when i find a set of volvo portals for my RR.

Just like the grey 109 scout vehicle they had down there.

PS who won? Pic of the winner anywhere? Did you ever find someone to rent your truck for the event?

Are there any pics of the event up on the web?

Ron,

Maxi-Drive (Australia)do portal drop boxes for Rovers. I have seen pictures but can't find anything on the net. Maybe GBR can get some info if you are interested.

They are expensive and you still have to use rover CVs and other crap. also you only get 33% reduction. Volvo portals are a good fit, come stock with lockers and have a 2x reduction.

Thanks for the tip though,

Cheers
Ron
