How do we overland though? Are we driving at 8/10ths and above the whole time? No, we are cruising 90% of the time, enjoying the scenery, occasionally tackling obstacles at low velocity, stopping frequently. I just think the video pushing the idea that the Bronco Is Bad For Overlanding Because...

Does the Raptor? Does the 4Runner? The Raptor runs in SCORE Unlimited alongside 4Runners in Production Mini (I think 7F or 7SX), which are also IFS. And what's more, they finish. :) Axles and CVs must be stock production as delivered - only some gusseting of arms and off the shelf aftermarket...

That's the point...the truck "thinks" it's in Access Height, but really it's in ~Normal height. You don't get 2" more in Extended or Super Extended with lift rods, however - the bags only extend the suspension so far. So in effect, you're sacrificing Access Height to fit larger tires that would...

And the Raptor? New Bronco that is supposedly superior to the Defender? The Discovery is quite well built, as is the Defender, of you get up close to them, and each had over a million km of test miles on them all over the world before they made it to market. The Discovery has been proven as a...

Not with lift rods you can't. You lose access height.

...which is amusing because IFS is the design of choice on 1,000km Baja trophy trucks that spawned the Raptor, and the Raptor itself has raced Baja in stock form. And let's not compare those to Class 10 buggies which are fully independent open-wheel monsters. I guess 70-90mph over 1,000km of...

Very impressive. The Gladiator had issues because of its wheelbase (137")...the Defender's is 119" and I'm willing to bet a little more ground clearance. The new 90 will have a 101" wheelbase and I can't wait to see it here again with the '94 90...

Those sheep in the background feel much better knowing the Defender can back right up to where they may die. ?

Lift rods just keep it 2" above normal ride height all the time - will not affect EAS lift above that height and doesn't interface with the terrain response system. The only effect to driving dynamics is a higher COG in normal driving. Huge negative is when you need to get into a parking garage...

I'm sure QuickFist makes compatible ones. Should be able to measure the rack size and then confirm with them... How do you like it???

Ah, missed that. Late work night last night so my reeding comprehenshun is marginal.... :sleep:

:unsure:On the contrary, the entire vehicle is a frame. :cool: I've got bolt on sliders on my D5. They bolt into the mounting points for the factory side steps with six huge bolts, sounds like the Defender has the same capability.

In other news, it appears Tuffant makes D5 compatible 18" steelies for $850/set of 5!?!? Where have they been all my li- Oh, Australia. And they're sold out.

Ok, but what's the *best* out there? A vehicle with a fully locked drivetrain? Not sure why 0.8s gets only 2 stars on a couple of those....

If all you want to do is mall crawl those would work just fine - or even a Tahoe or 'Burban. Great for hauling the family and doesnt signal that you have given up on life like a minivan. However, if mall crawling is your thing, and you want to signal that you can afford to shop in any of the...

That was literally because they couldn't afford more expensive pressing machines, and it was cheap and easy to press rectangles and curves on perpendicular faces.

So they enabled SOTA updates on the D5, which includes 80+ software modules including the infotainment. I've received 3 or 4 updates since they did that last year - one just the other day to bring the infotainment to version 20B - when I bought it they started on 18A or 18B, I forget which...

JLR is doing well in the US - their largest market. https://media.jaguarlandrover.com/en-us/news/2020/01/jaguar-land-rover-sets-new-us-full-year-sales-record-125787-sales-2019-three-percent The RRS is JLR's best selling SUV in the US, and the Evoque is a close #2 perennially. Both saved Land...

Definitely referring to re-plumbing coolers on the P400. Didn't see in the post where they said this was for the P300 only - the OP mentioned the coolers. I would imagine that LR would be cool and simply deny any warranty claims on the modified parts, i.e., the coolers and revised plumbing...

That's not really going to be a shade-tree mechanic / enthusiast DIY job. And it will probably violate the warranty. But...love the aftermarket's enthusiasm. Don't think anyone is doing this with the GX and that ************** hideous spindle grill....
