    New Defender Concept

    We have equally as many disparaging remarks in the Jeep section from Land Rover owners and Toyota owners, same in the Toyota section. This is old news. To paraphrase Scott Brady- don't be about the brand, be about the purpose. I didn't take what Andy posted as suggesting substandard and didn't...

    New Defender Concept

    Andrew: Love that Rover! And unlike some that don't like the "county" stripe, ... I actually do. Gives it provenance. It's rough and tumble, yet refined. I drive a jeep now, ... so what. Has nothing to do with true love or not true love. Has to do with turning 50 and wanting to spend less money...

    New Defender Concept

    Ian: I post only the news feeds here, because I too love the Land Rover, and hoped beyond hope that a new "real" Defender would find its way to the States. It appears that will not happen. I tried to keep hope alive. I was indeed quoting Andy — anyone that owns a Defender knows the AC is...

    New Defender Concept

    This isn't about what I drive ... what's your point? I drive a jeep now, because of the direction I see Land Rover taking. Best I can tell they are abandoning their Heritage ... perhaps because of profit ... perhaps to survive ... not sure ... Do I still love the older land rovers? Yes, don't...

    New Defender Concept

    I thought the guy said in print what we all have been thinking. I like that he laid his "pair" out there. I believe I am with him ... it is not what Land Rover should become. D ps: Not jumping out any windows though! :)

    New Defender Concept

    Andrew: The title of the first article is Defender to return to US as Land Rover Entry Level Truck. (I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it). I got to tell you though, ... your description of your return trip had me rolling! That is the perfect example of my Defender experience! Too...

    New Defender Concept

    Not stirring the pot, and not crapping on Land Rover. Just reporting what two sources have reported and the knowledge that Land Rover North America is saying that they have no knowledge of these reports. To reduce the Defender to an entry level truck ... leaves me saddened...

    My New (AEV) American Expedition Vehicles Jeep!!

    Forsakenfuture: As stated, we are working on a different surround that will better mimic a regular headlight (the 7" round that you are accustomed to). It is definitely a function over form look, however, if you were used to seeing the regular headlights, you might never think them as...

    My Conqueror and Rig!

    Yeah, Hella 90mm Projectors. There are only two sets in existence so far. (the proto types and this production set). They were fairly straight forward and included a wiring harness so they work just like OEM. They are DOT approved and flat blow away any other tested. Go to my thread in the Jeep...

    My New (AEV) American Expedition Vehicles Jeep!!

    Well, my ONLY complaint so far almost a year after ownership has been the headlights of the JK. I also prefer Hella aux lighting to the IPF. So, my buddy Bill (Hilldweller) plugged me into Dave at Susquehanna Motorsports (Rallylights.com). I was able to purchase a set (first production set sent...

    New mopar bumper on 2013 Jeep Moab

    As stated, this is the AEV non tube (standard) offered bumper. Those things that appear as smoked rectangular fogs are just air vents to aid in air to radiator and slow drag. (aerodynamics). Thanks D

    What happened to the sierra 4x4 thread from yesterday?

    By the way: I have a conqueror trailer- built in South Africa- Every trip I struggle with Euro spec stuff and can't get them on the phone or to respond to an e-mail when I have a problem or need a part, but I make the choice to continue to love and use my trailer. Concessions ... concessions. D

    What happened to the sierra 4x4 thread from yesterday?

    Fresno: I don't even know what that means "vituperative". <egads!>(and I'll be 50 this year). To the point: There are places to make bad and good reviews. And to back Haven up, this simply isn't the place to do so. We've all had bad experiences - even with people we enjoy doing business with -...

    What happened to the sierra 4x4 thread from yesterday?

    I think the point that Haven is making and the point I tried to make in an earlier thread is this: There are places online to place negative reviews: Google Reviews, Yelp Reviews, etc. This forum is not the place for them. If you are not an actual customer of Sierra, then the banter is hear-say...
