Thread: Won’t be retro...

BTW, the high res photos are very high res and can be hugely magnified - that first shot crossing the water:



Shows:

- "chequer plate" on the bonnet
- water nozzles on the wipers
- dash still with covering carpet on it

They're Goodyear Wranglers - it's visible in the high res photos. Seems to say All Terrain. I can see where the sizes are but it's still too small to read.

BTW, the low-profile tyres in the studio shot of the Tusk car are clearly visible in the high-res photos as BF Goodrich 275/35 ZR19 95W:

This is the actual photo:




You can't draw any conclusions about the flex in the suspension on the basis of a badly photoshopped photo.

Arapiles, your right , I dont pretend to be an expert at photoshop, but I know the basics and here is a free lesson just for you. A, / never believe anything you see on the internet , especially images. B./ That is THE exact same photo, its not photoshopped, its 'enhanced"

first we crop the above photo to remove the surroundings.



still the same photo, right, now we bring up the detail in the shadows, , still nothing photoshopped, & voila , as if by magic, you can see where the wheel is , as if the control arm didn't already place it for you.



You following Araples, now comes the magic of Photo-chop, Simply copy the left wheel and place it over where the right wheel is to make it obvious , and mirror it so the control arm is on the inside.

I wont bother cleaning the edges of the tyre up, as apparently I did a **** job of that, but now you know thats exactly where the invisible wheel is.

Problem is that if your placement of the control arm on the rim is out by a couple of cms you make it look a lot worse than it probably is. And in any case, as someone else said, even if both opposite wheels were in the air the car would still be moving because of the traction control, so it's pretty much a moot point. Yes, it's IFS and not a solid axle vehicle, but, ultimately, so what?

the flipped control arm from the left wheel is exactly over the control arm of the right wheel. the bottom of tyre is outside the shadow because theres no 'bulge'

And in any case, as someone else said, even if both opposite wheels were in the air the car would still be moving because of the traction control, so it's pretty much a moot point. Yes, it's IFS and not a solid axle vehicle, but, ultimately, so what?

So What ? this is being fobbed off as the most capable LandRover ever. My mums Camry would go down there with less wheel in the air. Traction control is only so good , how much traction can you have left if two wheels are in the air.

Nice, I think we found that size is fake and looks like 18

Some high res zooms for discussion.

Roofrails
Rpof Alpine windows?
Dash
Small front brake
Hot looking front
Snorkel top cap
Real checker plate
Fake windscreen a pillar
Defender badging with model/ numbers under?
Strange shape coolers behind small vent?
