Agreed, Instant lift and drop and 200k + proven reliability, yes please

Look at the Moab photos
I assume in rock crawling mode they have the suspension maxed out
Guard clearance looks generous

Sill still sits below centre line of rim on 32s

Of course the differences in suspension are noted but sill vs big goolie
Will still bungle a panel?

The original profile sketches showed a chamfered bonnet, as on the current Defender.

The front bonnet catches are gone, the clamshell bonnet is gone, the bonnet curves in - it's chamfered.

Picture it without the guards ....

You reckon they wanted to use the worst wheel and tyre combo cause it only gets better from there? Perhaps. Or perhaps they are going to try to convince us that 20's are a good thing for reliable off road use...? [emoji28][emoji28][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji79] [emoji99]

Haha, yeah who knows, Most likely at their biggest wheel it can still do all the tough trails at moab

So far I've seen online the following, but in 2 weeks they prob did most.


Hells revenge

Fins and things

Golden spike

Poinson spider (including the most dificult section

Steel bender

Few more insty finds, safe to say social media has hit critical mass.
