Thread: Bush Mechanic DVD Rangie Vs Patrol

I read a bit about it in 4wd monthly a while ago but I havnt seen the DVD.

Wouldnt mind it though, apparently the Rangie prooved to be more capable and reliable than the MQ as you would expect lol.

Yep good video but they didnt give the rangie a good go

Yer i've seen it, its pretty good

Love the home made snorkle

Each Vehicle has it's merits. The Nissan was a shorty so it had advantages like at Stockton dunes not getting hung on the crest. It had better tyres.
The Rangie did better on the river crossings by not getting hung up.
One thing that was interesting was the makeshift snorkals, the Rangie did it hard by having to drill out the bonnet yet the Nissan had an angle grinder to make it easier.
Things we all carry when out in the bush.
One thing though you can stick the Wombat poo stew, too much garlic, chilli, jam and cask wine LOL

is that the one where the RR had HT rubber and the other had AT's?

haha 4x4 monthlys pastime is laying crap on rovers i read an artical a while ago like 6 pages on how crap hill decent control is and why toyota are better my mate who had the mag colects them all his got piles of them and takes it all as gospel. but changed his mind alittle when my standard defender got up his home made travel ramp further than his 4" lifted gq with 35"s

i can see it now how great the nissan is even tho its a load of poo

The main thing that gets me about those "challenges" is they feel the need to trash the vehicles instead of just showing them against each other. (Especially the one with the Jackaroo where they destroy it wedging it through a spot they never should have.

It is more like big kids taking cars out bush...

Most of the jibes are actually tounge in cheek if you read through the articles (although there seem to be fewer and fewer of them)

Don't forget you have to "dumb" it down for the majority, that's why it sells so well, just checkout the average mentality of the postings. (There are a lot of sensible ones too but geez some of it is rubbish)
