The whole "Its worth it because it's a Land Cruiser !!" thing on forums like ih8mud is pretty crazy to me. I get that these rigs are becoming collectible now and going up in value, but the insane baselining and OEM-only repair parts has been going on since way before that. And the big money...

LCs will always run forever, because since the 80 came out LCs have been expensive and (since the early 2000s) are also less competitive than their contemporary competitors in all nearly every category... luxury, tech, ride quality, power, etc. For that reason, the big wagon LCs have only been...

Thats just more anecdotal information. I guess I'm being contrarian just for the hell of it, but there are plenty of Rover V8s out there with over 300k too.. and those motors are not known to be bulletproof. So you need to do the head gasket every 150k on a 1FZ, but once every 80-90k on a Rover...

This sort of thread is exactly what ExPo was 8-10 years ago and we need more of. Every couple of weeks someone does it right, thanks for the writeup. Keep on truckin.

The original AEV Jeeps all used Nth degree suspension, which was a company started by a guy who was an engineer for Jeep and worked on/helped design the TJ. Eventually Nth went away, and AEV started selling it as their own stuff. Not sure where it all went from there, but that's the background...

Yea, simple definitely make things easier. But it isn't impossible to go just as long with vehicles equipped with newer tech.. it just might take some slightly more expensive parts, and different kinds of tinkering. That Volvo guy is from my hometown, I saw it once or twice at local car shows.

The service life for anything is infinite provided you keep throwing money and parts at it.

and after the package getting lost twice in customs, we gave up.

The GM autotrac in my Silverado was super clunky. It worked well, but it wasn't anything close to as invisible or smooth as other AWD or other "auto" systems.

Depends on the type of axle. Something like this: http://www.perfectcasita.com/casita-axle-lift-kit.html Escape and InTech both offer "lifted" versions of their axles/suspension from the factory.

Both Casita and Escape have models under 5000lbs with showers. Happy searching!

I'm planning on getting myself a small camper in a couple years. First kid is only 9 months, but we're planning on another eventually. IMO, if I'm towing it it better have a shower and a toilet. I don't want to drag some overpriced cargo trailer with a RTT on it through the woods... you can...

Who cares about the outside, they finally updated the inside. Looking forward to reviews of this thing. The multimatic shocks are magical.

You can now just "buy the kit" instead. https://www.landroverpassion.com/en/product/lrp-upper-tailgate-kit-for-discovery-l319/

Skip the 05 and find an 07-09. Service records are key, cheap ones are cheap for a reason.

I just ordered one of them tie rod kit things. 200 euro, about $250. messaged them on facebook and sent the money through paypal.

TFL does it for the clicks. Clicks are money.

12-14??? I get 17 around town and 22-23 highway in my LR4. Maybe that will drop 1-2 mpg a the new tires I just put on. How much extra stuff is bolted to your truck?

TFL has and always will be been a ******** channel for anything except tow tests up Ike gauntlet. Whether they actually dumb or playing it up for YouTube, they’re gonna keep doing it the way they are for the clicks.

it’s not a problem bc only 1 out of every 100 new defenders sold will go off-road. Probably.
