If its hard core, well, I watch & have a beer, mine's a tourer.
Turning circle 110 - vast.Quote:

Weight 110 - not too heavy
Weight 130 - slightly more but not by much.
To add to Vlad's Jonathan Swift method of measurement. :D:pQuote:

Turning radius:

Gross Vehicle Mass:
110 Wagon 3050kg
130 Crew Cab HCPU 3500kg
Unladen Mass:
110 Wagon 2024kg
130 Crew Cab HCPU 2050kg
You'll note that turning dimension for Defenders is measured as radius not diameter because they can only turn in arcs not circles.
Unless you have a steel tray. HCPU weighs around 60Kg. My steel tray weighed something like 400Kg.Quote:

But as mentioned the length is similar to a patrol and the 130 is higher, I actually would love a 130 myself
Depending on how you define offroad?
If you include fast dirt sections it is hard to beat a 130 over broken fast dirt terrain.
The long wheel base lets it lope along at speed, the long wheel base corners in a very controlled manner - no snappy oversteer if you go in too hot.
For cruising the dirt byways up this way I just love the ride of the 130 (especially when it has a few 44s and camping gear on board).

My county being 135 inch is great off road even with its saged stock springs i havent had any issues andnowive turned in my lock stops all the way running the neg 25 rims and the 285's the turning radius is much nicer and has made carparks more useable :D
Hmmm... wonder if it's any value doing similar for a 130?Quote:
