Who owns a Land Rover ?

[EXPO_D1]

So we're soon to be owners of a New Defender. Are we gonna get shunned for having bought one? I haven't really seen many good things said about it in these forums lol. We went to the dealer looking for a Velar but ended up falling in love with the look and the way the New Defender drives. What sucks is that we probably won't see it until like Dec-Feb.

put'er on 35's and cruise past the haters

New rack and ladder, very unusual hinged ladder design I’d not seen before. It’s very low profile and I love it so thought I’d share ;)

Hey guys here’s my ‘04 Disco

It’s a dedicated travel rig and it’s been an absolute gem.

Also, the green ones are the fastest ;)

Oh that's a beaut, I've been trying to find an older one like this around my area so I can build up as a project for my step-son so he and his GF can go overland with us. I love that green color and wish it was an option on the new one.

Here's a picture of one I managed to see close up. I've seen loads of other at a distance. I'd love yo give one a try and if I had the money I'd like to get one too...

I can't justify the price but if that wasn't an issue I'd drive a Def2

Where do they put the spare tire these days ?

Not mine but spotted this old timer at the grocery store today. Talked to the owner for a couple of minutes, nice old 1969 series IIa. Just thought some of the rover lovers could enjoy a blast from the past.

@Zharick had a Defender out with our group on the weekend went everywhere the rest of us went

@Zharick A teaser shot for you, there should be some pretty decent action shots. I will post any good ones.

Noiiiice, did they say if those are the stock AT tires or are they aftermarket?

@Zharick after market with a wheel spacer, he is waiting on better rims so he can ditch the spacers

It’s underneath :/ unless you get a spare wheel carrier on a steel bumper!

I dont like either option. I dont know what else could be done about it though. Is the rear door a lift type or a swing away like my D2.

It’s a split tail gate, I’d have the RTT up on the roof rack so no room up there either! And the only want I managed to fit the spare under there was totally deflated.

OMG what good is a deflated tire. Oops I forgot you probably have a compressor for air but does the average guy on the street have one.

Yeah it would fit a street tire inflated, but yeah I can only fit mine deflated and lug around a compressor

Split vertically or horizontally like a pick up trucks lower half.

Horizontal, somewhere to sit or prepare food and you have cover works quite good for working out the back off
