Didn't go to the link. Is there any comparison?;)
Mind you, I am only going by the mess, a Mini did to my old man's early model Nissan Patrol.:(
Young lad, too fast, inexperienced, Tee intersection, the Mini went into the front left wheel of dad's Patrol, and just about sent the front axle out the right side. Killed the Nissan, thankfully, no injuries to anybody.
Probably a dent in the young blokes ego, such is life.:twisted:

Shorty.

Shorty mate, we have to be realistic, there are other 4wd's out there, and they ought to be compaired........:D

Other 4wd's have their plus points, and LR's have theirs .....

.....................but LR plus points are better and in greater volume :D

Maybe, if I plant my tongue firmly in my other cheek then?

Must admit to a soft spot for the early 3 speed Toyo Landcruiser the Navy had.
Hell they took some punishment over break waters and all sorts of rough stuff.
Some of it even Navy work.:p

Shorty.
