—”Either way, that LC is simply not going to care about three or four people in front of it.”
At the end of the video, it appears that he is high centered and fanning the shifter 1st to rev...?
Any clues if he was using 4wd low? Locking difs? Traction control? Do they come with electronic traction control?
All that weight is not at all helpful in getting the beast to move, looks to be high centered, stuck like a turtle on a post?

The LC70 of recent vintage comes stock with: "Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution and Active Traction Control (A-TRAC)." They also come with electric diff locks, see 1:29 on this video: https://youtu.be/1f_9lZmuk9w
