By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

I know this is slightly off topic regarding Mankini's and Chino's etc but I thought maybe it might be of some interest.
Rich provided me this link to a page on the D3-UK forum with a video of a very impressive D3 with 33" mud tyres that a bloke in Puerto Rico built.
Many of you may have seen this already but for those of you who have not its quite impressive what this guy has done to make these tyres fit along with plenty of other mods.
The video is of him playing in mud, which I guess is to be expected in a country where it rains all the time. In another thread he says that his D3 on 33's can go everywhere his mates modded Jeep on 35's does.
That is something for the Defender guys who reckon their vehicles should be allowed 33's or 35's and lockers to be fitted to compete with a D3/4 to think about I reckon.
Maybe after seeing this they might want 37's. ...
DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - 33" mud tires video! Have to see it

It was good to watch, but I wonder if his progress was more aided by the fitting of mud tyres or by the fact they were 33s. Also, would a Defender on standard size muds have done as well? Hard to say.
Thanks great vid. ...Mud tyres, clearance, traction control and a skilled driver. Disco or Defender would be equal in that situation IMO. But doing this over more than the occasional weekend / over many years? I would prefer to be in a Defender.
I certainly think the Defender would need less modding than the Disco to do that.
