    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    I in fact have air and low range transfer case with center locker. Didn't bother with the rear locker - that was not available unless I went to the HSE Lux, then I had to get a 3rd row, which I didn't want, and with that you sacrifice the full-sized spare under the butt.

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    Exactly my point. Hiluxs, L200s, Navaras are all way cheaper than the last "generation" of the Defender. If you want a farm truck, you want something cheap and you won't care if a bull rubs horns on the fender, or if you side-slip into a tree stump trying to gun it out of a mud pit. The...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    So in the last decade of Defender sales in the UK, they only sold a few hundred per year, and it was far from a "farm truck" as it was in its earliest days. The US out-bought the UK in the last year it was offered here. That can't keep the ship afloat. They need to sell hundreds of thousands...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    I think it's already happening - the Lucky 8 guys posted some cryptic stuff a while back on their Instagram page with some otherwise-unpublished shots of a Defender in camo in front of what looked like a garage setup somewhere. Would behoove LR to give some early access to the aftermarket for...

    Rest assured, the trails mentioned are no joke. The Googles and The YouTubes will show you. The "street tires" comment is less surprising as Disco 5's run the same trails with their crap OE Goodyear 20" wheel 55-series street tires. Sandstone "slickrock" is not slick unless it's actively...

    Cross country trip rifle?

    The article said that two county DAs have stated they will not prosecute. This does not mean that State Police haven't taken people into custody for this "violation." Both WGRZ articles insinuate that attempts to charge citizens with violating the loading ban have been made. That's right...

    Cross country trip rifle?

    Go explain to me why people are still being charged for violating the loading ban. DA's are choosing not to prosecute, but it's happening and the law is still on the books, so it's an unconstitutional law but it's a law nonetheless, until it's not. It's all over the news. Pay attention: You...

    Cross country trip rifle?

    Mmmm...study that one again, homeslice. The court struck down only the portion that says you can't load more than seven rounds into a 10-round magazine. However, the law was only amended to allow the sale of 10-round magazines since at the time 7-round magazines didn't exist. They do now...

    From their website with links to the laws: "New York prohibits the manufacture, transportation, disposal and possession of any large capacity ammunition feeding device, which New York law defines as a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip or similar device that: Has a capacity of, or that can be...

    Examples of incorrect interpretation? https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/ny-gun-laws/ Per their mission statement, "The USCCA (United States Concealed Carry Association) is a membership organization that provides self-defense education, training and legal...

    Firstly, if you look at the website and then go to the states' own legislation, they quote the legislation straight from the states. USCCA is perhaps one of the most respected national firearms rights associations. With membership they also provide legal advice and representation from...

    Cell phone booster

    DO NOT BUY A 3G CELL PHONE BOOSTER. They're going to be useless soon. 3G as a standard is on its way out - Verizon and T-Mobile are sunsetting their 3G infrastructure - Verizon by the end of 2019, AT&T in 2021. No US carriers have authorized any new 3G devices since early 2018, so that's why...

    In Illinois: A non-resident may transport a loaded concealed handgun in a vehicle if they have a valid CCW permit in their home state. They cannot under any circumstances remove the firearm from the vehicle. If they need to exit the vehicle they must lock it or place the firearm in a locked...

    The overlap they're referring to is between models such as the E-Pace and Evoque, the F-Pace and the Velar and the Disco Sport. When you talk to a dealer, they even tout the fact that they are mechanically identical under the sheet metal, they only differ in interior appointments and exterior...

    Well...that looks sufficiently down-market. Materials look like they belong in a Ford fleet vehicle. The console shifter is straight out of the Honda Element though. But that just means it's electronic.... Hope indeed.

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    This engine is already planned for the Range Rover Sport HST in a mild hybrid config. Seems it's in a fairly mild state of tune in that application - 394hp / 406lb-ft should be possible IMO from just a turbo *or* super-charged straight six (maybe minus some torque). Seems reasonable that this...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    Absolutely! And don't get me wrong - I would love to see a Defender priced to compete with the Wrangler, something with an interior you could hose out, or at least one that's more ruggedized and down-market, with a feature set and modularity similar to the Jeep. They've been getting that...

    I'm in the Briargate area and work on the far north side of the Springs. A lady who works across the street from my building drives a white D5, I saw a Silicon Silver almost identical to mine on Research the other day, and there's a Loire Blue around town from time to time - I think they live...
