    Heavy duty package was rare on LR4. It was locking rear differential, full size spare tire, and few other items, I am not quite sure what else was part of the package.

    Haha that’s true, I guess now I have to buy the tire hook, Dam new defender is already costing me money? By the way that tire lift attachment is absolutely awesome, and must have item. I have been doing trials and it works great even on big ass hummer. I am scared of hilift jack in general, but...

    90s was the perfect time for 4x4s If new defender is as reliable as LR4, then it’s gonna be game changer. The other little crap can always be upgraded. A friend of mine is waiting to pic up His new defender. I bought him a highlift Jack just as a decoration because there’s nowhere he can use...

    I’ll ask him, One thing I know, he never had any suspension issue and reliability issue, He got it new in 2014 Excellent vehicle, heavy duty package option on it. Sad to see him sale the LR4, He is supposed to be picking up his new defender 110 soon.

    The original Land Rover guys lost there icon and that’s why they are mad, and as much as you think new defender is capable and this and that, it will just be another Land Rover, drive for 7 years and junk it. You know what happens when wolf pack loses alpha wolf? It’s breaks apart.

    Why are other full size SUV's not used in overlanding/offroading as often as Forerunner/Landcruiser?

    Overlanding ( traveling long distance and crossing continents) is very new in North America compared to other parts of the world, and also major factor is that. In less developed countries, traveling 500 miles is 5 days journey, that itself creates demand to have expedition ready vehicle, and...

    The funny part is that those left overs are now coming back to USA and they are desirable vehicles . Old g wagons and defenders and 70 series.

    Generally speaking humans don’t like change, doesn’t matter if it’s in food or product or anything. I am ready to go back to horse, Unlimited economy Excellent visibility Never pay for fuel And reliable It Can go places no vehicle can.

    If I am not number one at least I’m number 2 critic of the new defender, But let’s give it a chance, Times have changed and auto industry has to adapt Yes Land Rover At some point dominated the segment but it’s not anymore and we cannot do anything about it. By the way this is not a LAND...

    Diesel engine options for classic Range Rover

    Originally I was set on Mercedes diesel swap, But I wanted to use attached LT 230 and I couldn’t find adapter for it, so I gave up on the idea, I went with 6.2D nv 4500 and lt230 because adapter is available, that conversion is 90% done, even though 6.2D is just as long as 3.9 gasoline...

    Diesel engine options for classic Range Rover

    I am about 90% done with the conversion, but winter and work made me stop and finish other projects. For while I am gonna drive with the 6.2 and see how it does, but I have new rebuilt Cummins 4bt ready as well as take out Mercedes diesel with its transmission just in case, I should of gone...

    Classic Range Rover is holy grail of most fun vehicles to take out in the wilderness, visibility is as good as riding a hose, except horse is 1000 times more reliable lol Has anyone been on the new defender? How’s the window line?

    If I had to do long distance travel, Tacoma would be the last vehicle I will choose, So I am not the only person who thinks, front is huge and you can’t see out the window. Because everyone else tells me, this Tacoma will go anywhere, I give huge huge credit to Toyota to creating this image...

    I am telling ya the only thing that keeps Tacoma on top of the segment is the reliability, anything else is underdog, stereo system as bad as it can be, I get 14mpg at best, and I drive easy it’s 6speed manual, What makes Land Rover amazing is the belt line window level, try to go off road in...

    The only good thing I can say about my Tacoma is reliability, fuel economy is bad, hood is huge and impossible to see up front, window line is on the chest level, ( Land Rover is belt line), if you try to look the out the window to avoid anything large rocks you can’t see, because of door panel...

    Haha I hope you know that I was joking about Tacoma pulling Land Rover, my Tacoma is gutless POS, I am serious, It was struggling to tow land cruiser, I had to be on second or 3rd gear at all times. This is why I don’t believe in ratings or fake tow capacity numbers. In a real world things are...

    You want a tow rig go buy Dodge Ram 3500, new defender will not be able to tow more than 3500lb word (Rated) in America means 50% inflated marketing gimmick. Just like when they advertise ( military grade ) that means it’s absolutely not, it just looks military. Perfect example my 2017 Tacoma...

    More people agree with Scott here, because it’s Land Rover enthusiast section, that’s normal, what about general public? I wanna agree wit him too but history shows that Toyota Land Cruiser and yearly 2000s Toyota SUVs get another level of love and respect all over the world.
