I've seen several around Colorado Springs - about as many as I've seen of the Discovery 5. Three or four have had the full kit, almost every one has had the roof rack. Up close they are much better looking than they appear online. One had what looked like the Lucky8 sliders. Judging by the...

They have one for the D5, a Defender bull bar can't be far behind. They already have sliders, lift rods, rear brake conversion to fit 18's....

;)

What is happening is that people are pointing to one vehicle and one owner experience and saying "this is bad for Land Rover" and "This is why I'll never buy a Land Rover" and "consumers will avoid Land Rover because of this..." and so on. Those who would say that likely were not going to be...

Lucky8 us taking a wait and see approach? Go follow @newdefendermods and you'll see the aftermarket has jumped out way ahead of where they even are with the Discovery 5.

Still one vehicle out of tens of thousands already sold. Go get on the New Defender owner forums, and you won't see this as a common problem.

And where, pray tell, are you going to fill up on hydrogen?

Is the roof rack easily removable? In winter it's nice to have a roof box on crossbars for skis/snowboards and other gear, and while the spacing between the slats looks wide enough to slide roof box clamps through, a roof box on top of an expedition rack isn't a style I'd rock unless I really...

This. One occurrence is getting blown way out of proportion by those who, let's face it, are looking for reasons for LR to fail with the Defender.

It's every manufacturer's story. They all put pressure on their dealers to make sure they are meeting customer expectations. A great example is Hyundai Motors forcing dealers who want Genesis allocations to put millions of dollars into separate showrooms because Hyundai knows buyers view...

One would hope that is the case. But a bumbling mechanic can still screw up an install, clearly.

On the D5, there is indeed one main wiring harness for power which runs from the battery mounted in the cargo area to the engine bay, but it is tucked so far up under the belly of the vehicle it would take a malicious or incredibly unlucky act to break it. Its about 6" higher than the lowest...

...and as I said, JLR are keeping score, and there are other dealers in that market. May have been their first screw up. These guys are a sample size of one on that failure, but let's go ahead and hold the entire company up as a failure for that one dealer screw up, shall we? The engine...

The dealers clearly explain that the winch is a dealer installed option and that it doesn't come from the factory when you order it. The configurator clearly states you should contact your dealer for more information on winch pricing and installation. It's listed on the window sticker as a...

Dealer != Automaker. Dealers are independent in the US. If the dealer jacked up the install, that's on the dealer techs, not the automaker, but Land Rover is likely taking notes and keeping score. The first issue is a legit production quality escape. The second one is not a failure of the...

And Rivian *actually* drove from Ushuaia to California. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a33548089/rivian-r1t-electric-pickup-long-way-up-tv/ https://drivetribe.com/p/the-long-way-up-is-a-superb-case-PIV6obDpR1C64O6mnRRZDg?iid=V2sE8g_GTRSYgXDsdEmADA

Looks awesome with the wrap. Hope that proves durable. I read somewhere the film has some degree of self-healing in sunlight, which would explain the $4500 option price from the factory....

Well, being perceived as a frat boy loser is perhaps better than being perceived as a wanna-be rapper / Russian gangster. Here in Colorado, most people just assume you're driving your wife's car.

Rivian say what?

I'd like to see Jag go 100% BEV with high performance and luxury, focusing on coupes, saloons and estates; that would leave LR free to continue with ICE engined SUVs by generating emissions credits to offset that development. While people aren't buying ICE powered sedans, they are buying EV...
