Design my new landy

[Matthew Storrs]

I like the Defenders for the fact that when you need a part you can find them very easily on the interent- and most towns have a Landrover parts place- how many other 4x4s can offer that and be good value too?

TBF with other 4x4s you don't need parts all the time.

If you do, what town doesn't have a jap dealership?

I didn't say all the time, but when it does happen I like to know I can pop to my nearest Landrover parts place and on the shelf will be waiting a selection of non genuine or genuine parts priced to suit.

I bet your Japanese dealership doesn't carry all parts for a 10 year old vehicle on the shelf- and if they did you'd need to remortgage your house compared to Landy.

Personally- I need very few parts for my Landrover so your first sentence is irrelevant to me:001_smile:

since you didn't specify weight class, I would have this and have a chip box built that can be lifted off with the crane and used with timber bolsters. and a winch a massive one.

Yes a g-wagen is good offroad but it's too heavy. Had a swb 300GD Commercial in the late 80's - it weighed nearly 2 tonnes..
