Jeeps are far more economical to wheel due to the aftermarket support options. That is clear. I also think though that LR folks tend to be better drivers though because of the inability to fit 35" or 37" tires. I'm not trying to create an us versus them, but you have to get pretty good at driving off road to move a 31-33" tire and heavier truck through an obstacle, than a 35 or 37". We staffed the VOT this past summer and found that the Jeeps modified to the top end, had less issues and some even stated, less challenge/fun on the trails we used.
I would say the Jeep is definitely more capable when built to the high end. If you build the Jeep too large and stout, especially on the east coast, then it is very easy to become very bored. Out west where Eddie is that has the Rubicon and tons of really large rocky trails where the difficulty level is much higher and there is wide open space to run wide open at speed it makes it much more enjoyable.
The one thing I feel like I take away from every Land Rover video I watch is that the British enjoy the fact that the vehicle has a, what I call, limit. That enjoy pushing to that limit but I think they enjoy the work and comradery that goes into getting past the obstacle. Whether that is getting out the MaxTraxx or the winch or digging or finding a way to float the vehicle across the river. It seems to be more about the adventure than the capabilities of the vehicle.
