The towing would be limited to a couple miles and the fish house is pretty light.
I like the looks of the old Range Rovers more, but I like the center diff of an 04 DII...
I am looking to buy a used early 2000's Land Rover for daily driving and towing my fish house out on the lake...maybe even some light snow plowing!
I have been researching the center diffs in these vehicles and it appears the Disco has a fully locking center diff while the RR has a viscous...
The factory Goodyear Wrangler HP's were our first set of cupped tires. We also heard from the dealer that the Michelin's were good, but I don't think they are available for an 18" wheel.
We have a 06 LR3 with the 4.4l engine. It came with cupped tires when we bought it at 8,800 miles. They lasted until about 37,000 miles.
We replaced them with Pirelli Scorpion Zero's and had the LR dealer do an alignment. We rotated the tires once at around 40,000 miles, now at 43,000 the...
If LR was to make the new Defender a 3/4 ton truck, they could probably get past a lot of NA safety requirements, fuel economy requirements and other EPA non-sense....
The tie rod end could've failed causing the loss of control. Then the impact with the guard rail pulled the control arm apart.
I know GM has had problems with tie rod ends on their HD trucks and the H2 during off roading. The tie rods look to be good enough for street use is all on the GMs.
Are you kidding!
Without the help from BMW and Ford LR would be gone long ago. BMW engineering and wiring quality from Ford, make the current LR's what they are.
Though I did not see anything new and innovative toward the end of LR being owned by Ford.
I believe there have been rumours of Tata working with LR to bring the defender back to the US. Here is my list of items that would be nice to see in a defender wagon (4 door SUV).
Solid axles frt and rear with driver activated locking diffs (rear leafs w/ air overloads) (front coils w/ air...
From the pictures above the "locking differential" appears to be more of a limited slip differential that has variable pressure applied to the clutch packs. It should not be call a locking differential, but it is not just a normal limited slip.
Is the center differential constructed the same?
Has anyone had trouble with a "bleeder valve" on their 4.4L LR3? This will be the second tow truck ride to the dealer for probably the same problem related to overheating. I read the 4 strikes then the dealer has to take it back under MN lemon laws, well were probably half way there...
Anyone else have a LR3 or RR Sport with a driver's side airbag cover that looks like it was vacuum molded with too much vacuum? Mine seems to show the "frame" under the surface of the cover and the top part of the cover does not seat well.
I noticed the brochure pictures do not have this...
