Ripped my dacks again!

I know after this post this I will awaken the god of door latches:o, but I have never had this occur.

Been driving defenders for 8 years and not even a tickle.....

I thought it was 'cause the Def90 has girly side steps but previous 110 had 2 inch lift and no side steps.....

As mentioned earlier, I think it is all in the entry technique. I tend to put my left foot on the floor then stand almost vertical before uncermoniously lowering my bum in... (Sounds funny when you try and describe it:D:D:D)

You guys must really shake your tail feather!

No, it's just because you wear football shorts all the time :p :p :wasntme::D

Three times in three weeks recently. Being a bit on the short side, now I basically take a leap at the steering wheel and duck my head going in. No more trouble with my pants, but it's only a matter of time before I crack my skull on the screen (or catch my fly on the steering wheel:eek:).

So pics please:rulez: You may save some ones ****;)

This seems to be a very serious matter so in an attempt to assit my fellow Aulroians I have undertaken a very indepth study of the matter and I think I have deduced a satisfactory solution to the problem........You know how some people like to take their shoes off when driving.......well................:D

What about the gaps that move when driving:eek:

You might tear yourself a new one :twisted::twisted::twisted::eek:

So, if you buy a Landcruiser Sahara you will probably loose your shirt with depreciation, but if you buy a Defender you will almost certainly loose your shorts...maybe many pairs :D:wasntme:

Hi there.....

Been there done that as well.......

.........VERY SERIOUS POST.........
I dont know if its just me (i hope not) but i have just torn my 6th set of pants after they catch on the door lock when i jump into my defender.
is this a common problem and how do i stop doing it, they seem to catch on the belt loop or Pocket

When the Defenders were first brought into the Fire Service - it was the biggest fault & saftey issue reported on any vehiclee within the fleet...........

To the extent we still have a few in service but the SA light Fire Service of vehicles are now all TOYOTA........
