I have driven a Defender daily for many years now. I often read the 'this is better than that' off road debates. What owners of other marques don't seem to realise is, that Land Rover owners don't proclaim their vehicles to be the best at anything! We own them simply because we love them and are willing to work around some of the foibles and short comings. That's part of the charm.

Far from perfect but it was a great trail rig to learn on. One of the most charming and quirky vehicles I’ve ever had and it’s really where a lot of the charm and allure to these vehicles comes from. I’ll always recommend a Toyota to my friends, objectively better in every way, but a Rover will always have my heart. There’s a soul to those vehicles that American and Japanese cars just don’t seem to have.

You hit the trails on a wknd, and on Monday morning you turn that key and it's ready to go. The Classic, same scenario,on Monday morning, you are calling AAA.😡 But I still love the Classic.

When I was a kid I have best memories of our family defender here in Australia. Troop carrier style with rear bench seats along the side walls so is 4 kids faces each other. Good old fashion bar tread 16R tyres and my father got rid of the little petrol engine and replaced it with a 3.3ltr straight six Holden engine, the legendary Red motor, aka the "202". Dad said it was both the best and worst thing you could do to a defender. Better fuel economy and double the power, but the diffs and gear boxes are made of glass and left us stranded a couple of times lol

The Range Rover wasn’t designed/built for the North America market. It was designed and built for the gentleman farmer and professional tradesmen, engineers, surveyors, architects and landowners of GB and former colonial countries. It was a two door, manual, non carpeted vehicle with soft, long travel suspension based on the rover salon. It also was designed with the rover salon V8 in mind to power it. The permanent four wheel drive with unlocking transfer case ( in some models automatically locking lsd) with cv joint front end developed for the Range Rover was then used in the Stage 1 V8 series (precursor to 110) and FC 101 gun tractor all of which used the same LT95 combination transmission/transfer case. It slowly developed into a leisure vehicle from functional progress as one. The development of the discovery 1 which utilized all Range Rover running gear and most of the body, but was designed around the 200tdi motor and L75 transmission replaced the Range Rover as a utility vehicle with the added benefit of supplying more seats.

He's talking about actual lockers front and rear lockers LOL. You need to learn what differential locks are. A transfer case lock is not a differential lock. Every single four-wheel-drive vehicle that goes into four-wheel drive has the transfer case locked when it does so this is just Land Rovers way of making an all-wheel-drive go into 4-wheel drive that has no lockers on it front or rear no Land Rovers to accept some new ones have a rear Locker optional
