    Australian and British bloggers arrested in Iran

    I don’t know if to be more shamed or discussed by some people’s reply here. Two young travelers are held in one of the worlds most infamous regimes prison for what is likely a simple mistake and all your sympathy is distilled to “don’t be stupid/don’t fly a drone/Iran is not the problem”...

    I hope you do understand it’s all planned timing release? There is no “leak”, it’s all publicity set in advance to maximize the show.

    Super-simple 12v power source for fridge?

    You need to run over a short check list to determine if the100ah battery is sufficient god you. As I measured it, a good fridge set to “32f at about 70f ambient temp, shaded and well ventilated, draws an average 1.5 ah in 24h (low night consumption and normal day consumption). As 35~ah/24h in...

    I think you totally missed the button line. If all are improving then the betters ones will continue to be the better ones and the worst will stay.. worst. And this is what you agreed.. That’s not personal, You wrote it. so maybe the Nadia Comaneci was too sarcastic, apologies. Slowly..

    So now you agree that LR continue to leg behind regarding quality and relatability? Nadia comaneci should have taken lessons from you.. [emoji41] Slowly..

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    That was the bar which the Defender and alike where measured. Exactly because it was on a different bar. And if it cannot reach that bar, it’s a different platform, maybe good in its own bar, but not a Defender.. It’s not only the solid axles or body on frame, it’s the weight carrying ability...

    Because the issue is not Scott’s proven ability to professionally Annalise a video. He analyses this new platform very clearly, but the issue is does this LR creation deserves to be called “Defender”. I think not. Don’t get me wrong, I highly regard Scott’s writing as professional and it’s one...

    I didn’t deny anything, I was referring mistakenly to the wrong link, and I corrected my note afterwards. Scott reviewed an edited video, as you ignore to accept. He didn’t held the wheel or drive it, did I miss something? I don’t know what’s your experience in photo editing or vehicle...

    Thanks for the corrected link. Nice video. Well edited to show what they wanted. Looks very capable, but it’s an edited video.. you see only the positive points. I’ve been testing vehicles in the past. videos like this, are usually a combination of different vehicles shots merged into one...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    It’s my off-road motto and the tapatalk signature.. obviously missed.. My point was that as a LR, I’m sure it will be capable off road, and maybe LR has eventually changed the QC signature day from Monday morning to another day of the week.. and eventually will turn into a reliable SUV. Time...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    You can. But how does it change the outcome? LR took a truck that you could wash with a garden hose, and fix most of it by yourself, and turned it into an all computerized something also. And if there’s something LR doesn’t earn Medals for, is electric relatability.. So there goes the...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    Well put, but irrelevant. I’ve never said nothing against progress and development. If LR wants to try and built some “great” new cars and SUV, that’s ok. But comes a moment when you need to admit that the change in the platform is so drastic, that it’s not evolution of the model, but an all...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    It’s a factory press release.. not Scott’s words. Sorry for being a part popper.. but it’s not a Defender, at least not for me. Defender it’s all about rugged simple off-road vehicle. Not a Disco in disguise wannabe. Toyota 70’ series is a living proof that even on 2019 you can build such a...

    Is the Ranger the Hilux we've been wanting?

    Hilux was sold with live front axle until 1997, so naturally it had some improvement over the older versions. After 1997 there are even more changes. Most of the changes where made in the late models (1990+) when I want to order non OEM parts online for my 1997 diesel Hilux in need to look for...

    Is the Ranger the Hilux we've been wanting?

    You’re totally missing the point. We all agree (I guess..), that a Tacoma/equivalent size pickup in NA are not sufficient in load carrying spec, but the size is much more practical for off road use regarding handling challenging terrain, and maneuvering. I don’t need and don’t want more then...
