Yeah a 130 would be ideal IMO coming from a D3 and D4. Especially if they keep the spare tire on the back door. That should make some room for an aux fuel tank aft of the back axle.

In the US we got the Ford 4.0 SOHC V6 petrol and the Jaguar 4.4 DOHC V8 petrol. Both are good engines the 4.0 is the cheaper one to maintain and easier to find parts for and is very reliable. Timing chains can be a issue if the tensioners haven’t been replaced every 70k miles. It’s like a 30...

Under glow is probably rock lights. lift rods aren’t that big of a deal either really. The winch and ARB bumper are a huge plus though.

I’ve seen that truck on IG before. I’d wanna see the interior before even considering it.

I’ve seen several of them with well over a half a million miles. And I seem them quite regularly with over 350,000 miles. Honestly I doubt it would be much worse maintenance wise than it would’ve been at 120k.

He has also said the Bronco doesn’t have enough payload.

Defender didn’t get ETC till 02’ and only on certain trim levels. Most Defenders didn’t have it till after 07’ IIRC. Then it seems like I remember reading that the 130’s didn’t get it till like 2013.

The Gladiator is on 35’s.

I’ve wanted a #10 JP Jeep since I first saw the movie. I want the Triumph Scrambler from Jurassic World as well.

I think he meant ride quality wise between the S3 and Def. Then looks wise between the S1 and Def.

I’m not entirely sure which ones don’t have the AUX coolers. My assumption is it’s one of the diesels. The winch mount instructions I read through didn’t say which ones had the coolers only that not all of them do.

Have you driven a newer LR? I’ve driven multiple full size trucks from various makes and pretty much every Land Rover platform ever built. Every LR I’ve ever ridden in or drove were all better than any full size period. And having been wrecked into before your claim about safety is utter BS. If...

I haul crap all the time with my Landy’s everything from farm equipment to cars and trucks, campers, boats. I’ve looked at full size pickup and I’ve spent quite a bit of time behind the steering wheel of full size pickups and I downright hate the way they drive. But if I need that much...

Not necessarily a bad thing from what I’ve heard the guy is crazy about QC. IMO if JLR scaled back down a good bit and really went after quality they could really turn this around IMO.

From a legal standpoint it might not be a bad idea to advertise the full payload rating.

Yeah they usually don’t tow faster 50mph.

If I get a new Defender I’d just stay under 770lbs. LR’s own documentation says that’s 330Lbs with full payload capacity and 770 with 440lbs less payload capacity. On LR3/4 tongue weight ratings had to do with hitch designs the higher rated one was shorter. Also in Europe they run with...

So if I’m reading LR’s info correctly that’s 330lbs before you have to start subtracting from your payload. So if you want to have a 770lb tongue weight you have to subtract 440lbs from your payload.

I’d just buy a LR4.

I was referring to my 4.0sohc in my D3. It’s a pretty simple engine that doesn’t really care what you run through it. In a remote situation with potentially questionable gas or diesel a simple non DI gas engine is probably the way to go. However as a daily or for use in most developed countries...
