Oranges are rounder and roll away which is bad, but you can mod them with three toothpicks, then they are better than apples.

I like the rolling motion... Makes them go faster☺

An apple a day keeps the Dr away but there ain't no rhyme for oranges

Orange have their own mobile phone service in Europe?

Here is a very interesting comparison of off road ability and which is best between a Puma 110 and a Jeep Rubicon.

Compared with same tyres and air pressures, as all off road comparo should be to be relevant.

From memory the jeep had and used the sway bar disconnects which makes a huge difference ((easily fitted to a Deefer but not able to be operated from inside the cabin like Rub) but did not use its lockers.

I reckon a Deefer locked up with disconnects would eat it. Also the Jeep can only carry 1 jam sandwich in addition to a 52kg driver and 25 litres on fuel in the tank.

Cheers

Defender No.1, I give the final say to the professionals!

Maybe you should have done D3/4 v range rover current model and previous model from 2005-16?

Guys, get them out on the table and measure them, put this to rest.
If not, it's time to shut up and move on.

Interesting LRW comparison by Robert Pepper, who knows his stuff.

You have a short memory Frantic, it was me who originally put that link up in this thread first and if you had actually read it Robert Pepper said his ultimate off road was not a Disco or Defender but a modded Supercharged V8 Range Rover Sport. Of course this article was written years before the more capable D4 was released.

So if your going to quote an article at least why not use one you found all by yourself and not one I put up. . ...

Anyway our South African English friend says the Jeep is, in his words, best off road but the Defender was a way better tourer. So he and his mate are of the opinion that the Jeep wins the bush bashing test. ...
