I can only imagine; Canada and Aus made the switch a long time ago because LR missed the boat on a replacement. G-Wagons everywhere; sweet piece of kit but lots of electronic problems from what my Aussie mates tell me. I can't speak first hand on it other than my limited exposer of about 6...

The delta on cost is enough to say you can put a new engine and brand new suspension in the LR3 and still have money left over to put your first tank of gas to run through that brand new engine. Ultimately, you have to prioritize your cost and usage! I love 4runners and think they are great...

Most likely never pass safety and if they do, small import numbers will probably make it unaffordable.

They are replacing them with G-Wagons like the Aussies and most Aussies I've talked to can't stand the G-Wagon because of so many computer failures and the truck stuck in limp mode. When the Aussies were with us, they towed their G-Wagons back with the Defenders that were being replaced with...

Too bad we will never see that in the US; I would put my $60k into that brand new any day!

Great build; following for sure! Welcome to the forum!

Still hoping/praying for a 4cyl TDI in the new D110! I am sold on the new Defender when diesel is an option.

Interesting; I'll look into that for sure. Right now it's not wired at all because I am working on the power panel near the sleeping rack but have a plan to get power to the fridge again this week or next because I miss it! lol. Good advice, I'll ask NL what they recommend!

@mbwesner Awesome man, thanks for all the clarification and the pic!

Agreed! I installed my fridge with the ease and intent of being able to take it in and out; now its in permanently and I plug my fridge in the night before Costco runs etc since my 2nd Batt install is still in progress. I have every intent of plugging my truck into the tender/charger every...

I guess that would be my point. If I was looking for a truck with a luxury swag to it; going to the market owners is where I would be looking. LR is smart enough to know they can't disrupt the P/U market and those sales would be marginal and not worth the cost of R&D. Not saying it would not...

I do not see a market for a 130 P/U anywhere on the planet for that price! Sure, there are peeps paying $65-75k for Denalis and ******** but they are die hard loyalists LR I think understands the market enough to know that the juice is not worth the squeeze on cost vs reward to build a P/U. The...

@DieselRanger We gonna see a build page for your D5; mild or wild, it would be good to see!

Finally put the cubby door in over the 2nd row passenger seat that stays in and folded down. Still have to add the bottom and silicon seal it but you see the concept; extra 2.5 sqft of cubby storage. Someday I might go buy a recess router bit and flush mount it but to be honest, the sleeping...

I plan to build a tray and use a dual valve through the floorboard drain for potential spill. Gonna be a while before that happens but I'll try and get the biggest fresh water tank where the 2nd row passenger seat used to be and it will be for fresh water and shower all in one. Outside of the...

I wonder if that fibrous belly panel stuff is for the Urban Version only; LR can't be that off kilter to use that as primary protection so I'm saying it is for the show vehicles or Urban version. Aftermarket will make the right stuff anyway but would be nice to at least have steel under there...

I'll say it again; when someone shows me a petrol LR getting more than 12mpg at full gross weight on a trail (AVERAGE) I'll believe it. Until then, the only way this 4 banger Petrol Defender becomes somewhat legit for purchase/range is maybe in the lighter D90; assuming the gas tank is the same...

My local dealership says coils are not an NAS option; possible to see it on the D90 but don't hold your breath. They also said they can't confirm or deny the "NO DIESEL 4 banger" for NAS in the future so that tells me they are just not sure or won't say or can't say which means I wait! lol

Smaller wheels for that beast so we don't have to pay $400 a tire for 19-20" low profile MT's?????????

@mbwesner Where did you put your Victron controller? I'm thinking of running the larger Victron for a remote panel option as well and ensure I am able to run a trailer later on if that is an option. I know they say the controller should be as close to the batteries as possible, however, in my...
