Don't know that those tyres would be all that good on the sand.... 8O


And someone forgot the bodywork.



But on the upside there's plenty of room to mount a big f&*k off winch :!: https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

It was inspired be what my Defender looked like after I hit that rock.

Half of them have trouble getting their heads around a Series vehicle built before 1970 :?

Ahhhhh




























mmmmmm





















oohhhh




























Nah, i got nothin. 8O

[FenianEel]

The word w*nkfest comes to mind.

They come up with crud like this - but don't even have a decent range of competing models in the marketplace (in OZ)

e.g. 90's, & Defenders in general
And the tossers don't even go to the motor shows here?!!

[DiscoTDI]

Cheap air conditioning 8)

[VladTepes]

There are many things one could say about Land Rover.



And there are many things one shouldn't. At least not in polite company.




So. Land-Rover SUCKS !


Land Rovers RULE :!: :!: :!:

Oh, I dunno. Instead of 4 spotties along the front of the roof rack, Crump or Drivesafe could have about 26 of those.....

I dunno - couldn't be worse than the Austin 1800's original lights I had.
Lexus bollock on about intuitive sensors and lighting - Austin had that in the 1960's.

At night (particularly in the wet) - it had intuitive lighting. I intuitively guessed where the road should be and where the light should be shining.

Ah, I can see they took my suggestion to heart.

I've had a terribly clever idea for real all-terrain tyres.

What if you had a variable width hub.

Very wide tyres, absolutely smooth in the centre with increasingly terrifying lugs on the outer edges.

When you're driving on the highway the hubs are pulled in to their smallest width and you have a tall skinny tyre perfect for dry highway. Widen them a little bit and presto, highway tyres that have good wet handling.

Widen until you get to full width and you have monster claws that will dig the deepest mud, plane the dryest sand, and crawl over the sharpest rocks.

And you only have to buy one set of tyres.


God I'm clever.

Glad to see LR are catching up.

Certainly sir.... one new tyre.....


That'll be... (uses calculator furiously)...


Your left nut and your first born please,

[abaddonxi]

Probably not that much more than a Mickey Thompson cross-ply.

Like I would have the foggiest idea. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Just thought it was a cool idea for true all terrain tyres.
