Time to bring back the MB (jeep)

As long as you don't mean the one with 87 computers running the thing ? I kid....sorta

I always liked this rig, it's a shame you're selling it. Good luck with the sale!

Tough to beat that dodge in the first post, except those are getting pretty rare on the east coast (rust is not kind). I'm gonna buck the trend and say a bicycle. Any sort of disaster and the roads are going to be ludicrously backed up; might find yourself "getting out of [the] dodge and...

I've never been a "sound" guy, but that engine sounds awesome! I'm sure with 475 ft/lb of torque it'll pull a house.

This is fun. And isnt the lion diesel that is in the current land rovers a ford engine too, basically the same one they are now putting into the f150?

I dont think anyone is really arguing that it won't be capable. They're arguing, "is it a defender". It doesnt meet the criteria. Removable top, body on frame, solid axle, simple and rugged. The references to the jeep wrangler are very relevant because those critical design elements are first...

Why would you lock a thread that people are having a lively (yet circular) discussion about? Nobody is insulting anyone, nobody is using profanity. I'm not one bit interested in the defender after seeing the reveal, but I keep coming back to this thread to eat some popcorn and enjoy the banter...

My dad has the same year truck. It's been a good one. He had a problem with oil starvation in the top end after about 125k miles; I think it was the oil pump had a cast aluminum backing plate, which allowed flex and blow by. They have since updated the design to a cast iron backing plate. Enjoy...

I don't know what y'all are so up in arms about. OP built a cool truck. I see a frame in some of his pics, insinuating that "frame up" isn't just clickbait. It's also custom. It's also ************. Let's stop being sensitive snowflakes about semantics and continue on with the progress pics/trip...

Whomp, whomp, I'm 100% not interested anymore. Apologies to the mods if my feelings are too harsh. But I'm not excited about this defender after seeing it.

I may be mistaken, but aren't the jd power "initial quality" awards based on some survey they send out to a handful (something like 60k) of people and then scored on the amount of problems they had in the first 3 years? These "surveys" always seemed bogus to me. People have to care enough to...

Your camper looks great on the new truck!

My wife has an e70 x5, and I joke with her about lifting it. I dont think hers is as easily lifted however. Yours looks sharp!

What a great combo!!!

That thing is awesome. If I was still at Beale AFB, I'd be on my way to buy it from you. I'm a long way from there now though!

I love your truck, good luck with the sale!

If you like the feel of your current truck, buy another one. You can't go wrong with either. I'd go test drive both, and then decide what feels more comfortable to you. Neither one is a bad truck.

Like others have said, the Roxor is the Indian evolution of the Willys Jeep, just as the JT is the American evolution of the same thing. The early cj5 guys are pretty excited by these (myself included) because a lot of the parts interchange with the 1955-1975 models and are quite affordable...

The closest I've been to one is driving past the dealership and seeing all the shiny new gladiators sitting out front. I have to admit that the all-white rubicon looks reeeeeally nice ( I hate the lower trim level's black plastic fenders). I think the 4:1 transfer case would actually be too...
