Wind, trees, alpine roof...oh my

[MellonRover]

Had a bad storm a few weeks ago. Tree fell, bounced off kids basketball hoop, then my rover. Thank goodness it wasn't a large tree. Took out roof rack, bent long bars, third brake light and the glass roof. Going to attempt to do the glass myself. Hope I can stop for pics, as I usually end up focusing on the job at hand and neglect pics.
Here's some pics, as everyone loves destruction.

Sorry to hear of the mishap. Surely this is a case for insurance??

It is, they totaled it. So I used the payout to add a 2012 HD to the fleet. Moving all the off road goodies to it, and giving the 2010 to my son

I love my '12 HD. All D4 years are built strong with a hydroformed steel ladder frame. There is a D5 refresh coming out that is 1/2 azz. I'd like to see Land Rover do a body-on-frame design with a gasser V8 and no hybrid tech.

Almost....grenadier has bmw 3.0 turbo, 282hp.
Down almost a hundred from the 5.0 lr4

Wonder if anyone has tuned one… not sure if the turbo charger is smaller on the grenadier but it’s got the B58 so it’s got a lot of potential in stock form

If BMW puts that engine in a coupe then it probably will get some aftermarket support for it. The LR4 V8 has 375 HP 375 FT. LBS. and to match it they would need 100 HP out of it by turning up the boost and tuning it.

Some of the V6's these days are putting out impressive power, like in the RAM. It has more power than the V8. But the low power problem is the gotcha with Toyotas too, the redesign looks sharp but no match for the LR4. You can hear the Toyotas spool the turbo now, it sounds pretty cool so you know its on if you hear it but its too slow.
