What beef do you have with aluminum control arms? The payload on the Defender is far higher than that of the Wranglers. What off-highway rocky are we talking about? Do you typically drag your control arms? I never have...

Virtually the same? It shares no components, dimensions, driveline.... "The new wrangler is virtually same as the old one. It still has solid axles just a nicer screen" Doesn't that statement seem ridiculous? lol

YUP. This is all excellent news - no matter the brand name on the front. I'm thrilled that there are so many options! When I did my big trip in '15 the options were essentially Wrangler, 4Runner, Rover, and Xterra. Now we have a new Wrangler, a new Rover, ZR2, bronco (soon), and maybe one day...

Ah ok. Yeah your post sounded a lot like the hate thread ;) You're correct, it's just a rod end so it's not unlikely that it would swap over fine. It's also a wildly easy part to produce. Move along... :)

Don't wait - fill it up ASAP. Mine also was leaking in this position and I was nearly 4 liters low. Do it now, even if it means 'wasting' some fluid before you do the proper repair.

I just hope all the people who aren't buying a Grenadier or Bronco spend their time trolling those boards! ...not really..

??? Saying that lift rods fit from one car to another (which is just a plastic rod end) is a bit extreme as calling them the same... no?

:( The first mod isn't an upgrade :( Lift rods can have their place but I know in 99.9% of cases folks are just gonna run around topped out.

Where in the hell do you live?!?!? Perhaps a unimog would be better. So... go get one of those.

edit: aint worth it lol

Ha. Well for this, you can do that repair on any car, even a brand new S-class ;)

Looks like it's available for some colors!!!!

DROOL. Too bad the US only gets a white roof on the 90 First Edition :( :( :(

You're correct.

Do you guys actually perform any repairs? Like in real life? Name a repair you'd perform on a trail which you could perform with leatherman and some wire. This kind of ridiculous fantasy is beyond me - as somebody who supports the industry from a repair/engineering side. There's also no vehicle...

Yep. Exactly. Different trucks for different use case. Poison Spider may be considered tame for some but it's as rough as I'd want to go in my travel rig.

You should be on the calibration page, not the height adjustment page. What are your current calibrations. If you're maxed out, you can't adjust it higher.

Well played. Looking forward to pics of you being stuck on a flat dirt road. ;) Where on west coast are you?

How was it? Our local example isn't available for test drive.
