I was under the impression the one with a front locker and 35’s had the M190 which IMO would not be strong enough but it doesn’t have that diff it has the bigger M210. So no issue there. Carry on.
I mean I figured we were comparing everything to the Defender in this thread I was just pointing...
I am kinda concerned about the Bronco’s front diff with 35’s or 37’s. It’s a Spicer M190 clamshell which is the weaker version of the LR3/4 front diff. It’ll probably be fine but it’s definitely a concern IMO.
The 4 Runner isn’t in quite the same market as the Defender. I’d honestly be surprised if there is a LC300 in the US. My current favorites right now are the Defender and a chopped 200 with a PCOR. One of those two will be what I inevitably replace my Discovery 3 with. I love the Gladiator and...
It’s more to do with the fact that the vehicle is already getting decent aftermarket support. Think about it deliveries have just started going good and now we’ve got roof rack options, rock slider options and multiple suspension options. A steel winch bumper is also right around the corner as...
Honestly I knew there would be quality issues on the first year or so. The D3 and D4 are fine examples of that. IIRC even the early D5’s had a few issues. Hopefully it doesn’t have any major power train issues little stuff like a rattle and seals should be easy enough to remedy. That one hose on...
Exactly TFL tired to buy one but couldn’t get one not marked up or with the options they wanted. They said they would be getting there’s at the end of October at the soonest.
Oh and Lucky8 already has the front bumper design finished they’re getting ready to start fabrication. There are a ton of shops working on stuff for the Defender. Basically all current LR off-road suppliers are working on stuff.
I’m no expert when it comes to these specific transmissions but from the reading I did when I was researching about it for my own truck most people said it generally makes it worse. I personally haven’t figured out why yet. I also wouldn’t replace just the solenoids in a vehicles I was gonna...
Alright let’s see.
#1 Sensors are easy to change if they’re anything like the LR3 with bigger tires you might have to pull a tire off to get to it easily. So not a big job.
#2 Bag puncture is possible but is a rare occurrence. Not hard to change on the trail assuming you have a spare. It’s...
Been thinking lately I don’t think the Defender has ever been Land Rovers halo vehicle. It’s always been the most rugged and customizable of the bunch and generally speaking the cheapest full size of the LR range. The Range Rover always got all the new tech first and then it got passed down to...
It’s like two of my favorite vehicles had a baby (OG Defender and 461 Gwagon). On the flip side the New Defender is the same way for me it’s a combination of two of my favorites as well (OG Defender and LR4).
The only things I don’t like about it are the twin sets of alpine windows and the grille fog lights and the fact it’s not a LR. If this comes to the US like they say it is and if it’s priced well it could steer me a away from a Defender or Gladiator. That is if I don’t build a new OG Defender...
