And you can't get that "tool" new in the United States because it hasn't been homologated here. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Tapatalk

You're not going to be stuck in the field because your software isn't up to date. Jeeps and Toyotas have a great many computers controlling things like engine management, traction control, infotainment, braking, stability, .... The list goes on. You just have to go to the dealer and pay them...

The next one very well may be electric. And all 911s are turbos, but the Turbo is still the Pinnacle of automotive performance. Oh, and remember when they went to a liquid-cooled engine? The new 911, side by side, looks nothing like the original, except in a vague line drawing profile. You...

Actually, Jeep Wranglers in the 1990s were well known choices of what is now known as the LGBTQ+ community. The Grand Tour even poked fun of this fact in the last season. Stereotypes are stereotypes, nothing more. Perhaps @EricTyrrell was concerned that the stunt driver profiled in the recent...

Criticize the design language all you want. That's what this thread is for! I, for one bearded, wood-chopping, beer- and whiskey-swilling man with enormous balls and lots of body hair and guns, don't give two flying f*cks about design language*. Does it work? Yes, and better than any other...

Metal fatigue - how do it work? Simple first-year engineering school stuff. It's called materials science, and physics. Entropy much? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Tapatalk

That may be true, but I believe the amount of engineering, followed by modeling, followed by real-world testing in design and development of Rovers of the most recent generation is producing vehicles that are more durable, rugged, and suited to purpose than previous generations, so they are less...

Not Echo Canyon specifically in the Subie, but disused mining roads, lakebeds, and old rail beds across central/northern Nevada and Cali - yep, all the time. Drove to the trailhead on White Mtn Peak. Jumped it over cattle guards at 85mph in Utah. The Yota was DV, did Echo in that (buddy's...

This belongs in the Tesla Cybertrk thread. Oh, wait.... Anyway, if vaporware electrics were the only choice, I'd take Rivian R1T over the Cybertrk any day. But the Tesla will look cool in that Robocop throwback reboot....

None of those pictures look like anything I haven't driven in my D5. We just have more trees in Colorado. And it's usually wetter. I've driven DV and other areas in the DSW plenty when I lived in LA and Vegas. Did it in an old lifted gen 1 4Runner, did it in a bone stock 2005 Subaru Outback XT...

If you had spent any time on other New Defender-related threads, you'd understand. [emoji19] [emoji23] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Tapatalk

Land Rover is equipping them with Wrangler DuraTracs or Wrangler All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar from the factory. Yeah, and what's the stopping distance on those full sized trucks? When your $85K fully loaded Redneck Range Rover F350 dually gets cut off in traffic you're going to slam on...

Land Rover doesn't make tires.

Oh noes! A 2,000 mile drive and they had *flat tires*. Scandalous! Because *real* off-roaders *never* get flat tires. The spares they all carry are ... for ... um, to help lesser vehicles, I guess?

Really, wheels and tires is all you've got? :rolleyes:?

Interesting and polarizing are exactly the words used in automotive press to describe the Defender. And they have absolutely beat it up in public - they have released video and photos of it driving across Africa, Kyrgyzstan, and on the set of a movie where they have clearly rolled it already...

Yes, right alongside the ones with fully independent suspension: http://www.kingsleyholgate.com/expeditions/mozambique-flood-relief-mission-2019/ http://www.kingsleyholgate.com/expeditions/cape-town-to-kathmandu-expedition/ and as of 19 November: Zambezi to Congo

Yeah, and then they broke its supposedly unbreakable windows, much to Iron Man's chagrin. I'd take a Rivian over this POS Tesla. But I'd take a Defender over both. Gonna need a huge solar farm and a loooooooooong time to get you out of the back 40 when you run out of juice, rather than a...

Yeah, that was my setup, thanks for ruining it! [emoji23] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Tapatalk
