I'm on record for hating Land Rovers. It is true they can scramble over anything, especially the Defenders. But they're tiny inside, they have an aluminium body you can't weld unless you have a TIG. They have crappy gearboxes that you have to order from Britain and when it get s to where you are it's for the Discovery model and not the Defender. If you put stuff on the roof they tip over but that's not why I hate them.
I hate them because they are weird in that they are good enough in mud that they bog *really deep* in the mud where it's a bitch to get them out. They skate over the mud for about ten metres and then plunge in. I dug that bastard we had out of the mud so many times it's not funny. None of the other 4x4s we had on the job did that.
Good on paper but not in real life.
