This was the 'little brother' to CVC's Project Freelander. It had the Ironman springs 1.5" lift, homemade sliders, sill guards, front and rear skidplates and one-off A-bar. The tires were Firestone's Destination MTs. They were loud, but grabbed on pretty well.
Chris is right about the Freelander's climbing abilities. If you can't get a bit of a run at it, you're in for a painful climb. However, it did quite well in other types of terrain. It was a lot of fun to drive it all over the place. It will go many places the other small SUVs won't go, and can put some of the big ones to shame, too.
