I'm no landy lover but they get knocked so often that they are mostly underestimated. Got excellent approach / departure / break-over angles (better than the lux), lightweight body and superstructure gives an improved COG (again, better than a Lux).

Generally a more capable vehicle than the Lux IMO, but where I think it falls down is overall reliability, tend to snap ½ shafts and that lightweight cab offers less protection to occupants in roll-over situations. Impressive clip!

Still love my Lux!

Just out of interest, what is the ground clearance of a Defender? Somewhere I read that it is 325mm, but I can't see why. They run similar tires to a hilux SFA or Land Cruiser, so surely they must have the same ground clearance of around 240mm? (Or are they measuring it from the axle, and not from the "pumpkin", which is the lowest point for an SFA ...)
