Thread: Have I mentioned before that...

People don't comprehend it until they drive one. You should avoid driving a RRV tdv8. I'm sometimes guilty of driving like a sports car. The power and road traction is amazing considering its 2.7 tonne empty.

Can't afford any of them so I'm safe...☺

Yep, I'm avoiding a 4.4. Out of my reach. I'm lucky to have what I've got.

Nothing wrong with the 3.6...

Justin, you need to take a drive up to the top of Mt. Wellington and open up your lungs and shout it to the world, then others will hear ya brother.
Instead of "I bought a Jeep", shout "I own a Range Rover!"
Cheers,
Mario

I hopped into my D2 yesterday and took it for a spin, if felt like a small truck, it was a different driving experience. Where before I thought the D2s were car like driving compared to other 4wds.

OK, OK Justin ... I get the message
Hope something can be done about a bull bar, as I'd feel very exposed without the extra protection.
Questions:
Rear wheel carrier? any solution?
Some 2004 seem to have a radio/CD, others seem to have a screen based entertainment centre?
HSE or Vogue .. differences?

There is no off the shelf wheel carrier. I did start to design a wheel carrier that temporarily attached to the tow receiver and frame. Indicators would plug into the trailer socket. Something that could be fitted and removed fairly quickly. But since getting a camper I just put the extra wheel on that.

The facelift L322 from late 2005 should have the larger info screen. The earlier editions also had the smaller screen which was the lower spec. I think the Vogue badging began on L322 when JLR released the Sport in 2005.
