Real quality brit engineered lr production disappeared years ago. If you want a real off roader to beat a defender in standard military type trim the wrangler based j8 rocks ps I really enjoyed towing a stuck disco during the snow. Big hefty lump of lard it was. |

their are many things you an do to make any 4x4 better
the biggest problem with most of the part time 4x4's is the stupid independent front suspension, this is the biggest draw back due to height limits and clearance limits the one big problem with the nissan 4x4's is the front end it s just too far in front of the tyres which is one place the jeep wrangler and defender have the advantage |

I have said it before if it's good enough and your willing to pay the price..then it is worth it.
I own.... Land Cruiser very nice motor mine has everything on it that if your experience allowed you could get most places [and back] but cost of spares is expensive eg front brake caliper £350+ yes I know milners do em...but they do not always fit as they should. positive side is being in 4 all of the time, I rarely have to touch my little knob [ooower] Very good economy also. I did own Terrano SWB very good, put decent ATs on and it will go in most places even before selecting 4. fuel economy good. better than LWB when off roading, but a little bit more bouncy than LWB cos it's lighter....if off roading remove side steps. You can park em anywhere easily, my wife loves them, I am actually looking for another for her and to use Green Laning. That's my input may help... |

that maybe so Kbekl, but Bio and SVO can be used with out costly convertions..
just pour it in and off you go.. not need for twin tanks or any thing else really. |
