Those steel wheels make that quigly van special. Glad it's getting the good treatment.

What are the pitfalls of using the FJ80 frame, after you cut and graft the entire front suspension, use the 80 axles, and modify body panels? Cutting and plating the frame to get the wheelbase correct has been done plenty, and I don't remember hearing about pitfalls? I want to see the 80...

Where are these bajillion? What if I want new, or barely used? Not going on 20 years old. Does Ford make a 2019/2020 Ranger with a V6 and regular bed and 4wd and a manual? Does Chevy? Does Toyota? Think of how cheap that could be made. Every single part to make it already exists in other...

Make a 4 door 4wd, non-turbo V6, manual trans version and I'd be a buyer. The interior size is great for a midsize truck. I drive a 2019 4 door XL 2wd as a work truck...it's ok. Engine buzzes and the trans is always hunting. And no, I don't need screens, turbos, backup cam, fancy radio...

Whats the interior height with the hi-top installed?

It is hilarious, in a sad way. Thanks for the input. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Still seems cheap. Those UJoint conversions aren't cheap, even when doing it yourself. and this has added stuff...winch, air lockers, decent interior build out. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

yes, the air and sand has a lot of salt in it. Wash very thoroughly and then spray outside frame, inside frame, and wheel wells with Fluid Film or similar.

Well they were engineered to drive different, so I'm guessing they will. Way to hyper-focus on one word I typed. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

The Porsche argument is not valid. The 911 was unmistakably a 911, even after it got water cooling. It's still unmistakably a 911. My wife can spot them and she knows nothing about cars. What we have here is akin to changing the name of the Panamera to 911. Can you imagine the uproar...

Not trolling at all. You're making my point....JLR ALREADY makes a large portfolio of Nurburgring tested, luxurious and complex IFS/IRS SUVs, that can do OK offroad with some decent AT tires. The Series/Defender was never that. So why make more of the same and slap a Defender badge on it...

That POS FJ Cruiser was a huge swing and miss. Just like LR, they looked back at their history and pedigree and completely missed the mark. Even then they sold as many as they wanted. It was an OK vehicle, but did not resemble or deserve the FJ moniker. No money in what? A proper retro...

If you can't see the hilarity of JLR wasting time and money by testing the new 'Defender' on the Nurburgring, then I've got nothing for you. Tuning for that racetrack will no doubt leave it suffering in the longevity, reliability, rugged chops long run. I bet the RRS, the RR, the Disco, the...

I don't want a Wrangler. I don't want a new FCA anything. I want Land Rover and/or Toyota to go at the Wrangler, take over that spot. The market is obviously there. JLR and Toyota have the pedigree, the lineage, the world renowned names. They make attempts, but swing and miss, and I'm not sure...

Independent suspensions introduce so many more wear items and complexity compounded by their insistence on using air springs. I'd like to see some data on the "much more" reliability of LED vs. regular auto bulbs, especially given the price, the money and time spent to design a vehicle specifc...

Diesel or no diesel, the underlying vehicle is the same. A swing and a miss (If you're gonna call it a Defender) No body on frame. No solid (at least rear) axle. No normal N/A engine. No removable top/doors. No manual trans. No truly stripped down model. Why LED headlights and...

It's easy to get blinders on when hanging out with the small off road LR club. See its easy....'All the LR I see are running around town and taking the kids to private school' Or 'all the LR I see are broken down' There are tons of Jeeps at our local wheeling lands every weekend....CJs...
