Re: Defecting to the Dark Side
Dave, are Land Rovers more reasonable priced to purchase and maintain, over

Re: Defecting to the Dark Side
Don't know about your world, but here in the Boonies where I am you
would be forced to Special Order any parts other than an Oil Filter
and the parts are 3 times the price of comparable Jeep/Chevy/Ford
parts "IF" you can even get them!

Bought a Land Rover Discovery 2 4.0 v8 today, and should take collection
next week.
Would have gone for a Jeep for preference, but decided I couldn't live
without a Real Chassis.
Big axles and hub means its rated for 7800 lb towing, but IMHO I would want
a longer wheelbase
for pulling that weight.
It doesn't drive like a truck at all - feels like a limo with its 18"
wheels, and electric everything
but it is for towing not offroading, so that's ok.

Still keeping the Wrangler - this gives me transport and time to fix the
Waggy.
