Hope you plan to dump it while its still under Warranty, because after that things do get rather expensive on the Land Rovers. Have you had to visit the dealer for any electronics failures yet? It's not a question of if, its when with these vehicles. They sure do live up to their name of the most unreliable SUV's on the road. That's for sure.
Thank you and I appreciate the concern :-) but so far I have no issues on the air suspension or anything else on the RRS since I got it in 06. I am over the warranty period now and so far so good. Actually I didnt get any air suspension or electrical errors even on a quick bath like the pic below ;-) I might get crazy and take the ML offroad as well......

Nice pictures!! Always nice to see someone not afraid of getting their SUVs dirty. I've never seen the RRS offroad before though. What's the fording depth of those compared to the RR?

Thanks! I think it's about 2.5 ft. and have taken higher than that. The air intake of the RRS is on the side grill and as long as it doesn't ingest water it should be ok. Water seal is tight and not a single leak through the doors.
Air suspension is good like this trail below compare to conventional as it really hugs the terrain. This video clip was the last offroading trip here in Cali. Total of seven Rovers and 2 LR3's getting dirty.
Cant wait to get the ML dirty as well and see how she does.
The back windows on the ML in second picture looks super dark. Can't even see through the white background. Did you add a layer of aftermarket tint? If not, it looks really dark. Can you guess the VLT% of the factory treated back windows?

It's factory tint. I have not added anything yet on the ML and completely stock for the exception of a rear spoiler next week :-)

Late model MB's aren't much better. That's why long factory-backed warranties are so important with both makes.
