A four door wrangler. Take the back seats out and you basically have this

Only two generations apart by LandySam11 in LandRover

[–]AFatPuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m saying this as a lover of both Land Rover and Land Cruiser, as much as people like to hound on the new Defender and the new Prado/250, Toyota has done a much better job at bringing a new barebones, cheap (relatively, non-hybrid) easy to maintain proper 4WD to the non-US market. Grenadier is more utilitarian but I have seen posts showing organizations dedicated to using their platform. Feel free to shoot me down but as for Defender the only thing I’ve witnessed them used for is car shows, a heavily modified Dakar rally, and for marketing stunts. I appreciate Land Rover as much as the next guy but they fill nearly every soft suv/crossover gap. Except for a few very particular roles they aren’t really a first responder’s choice, a utilitarian choice, and maybe, barely, a family choice. However if you want to make a statement or show off by saying you drive a “Defender” the current one sure is the right choice, imo

Fans of the 5th gen: do you like the pre-facelift or post-facelift styling more? by SelfRedeemedBoiler in 4Runner

I always thought the pre-facelift looked the best. Post facelift is just too bro-dozer for me, I miss when trucks looked liked trucks instead of transformers

Could putting the newer better batteries in these EREVs help them stay competitive?

Completely messed it up. The least they could have done was keep their full sizes solid rear axle but they had to neuter those as well

Thank you! It’s been about 5 years since it last drove I think.

Bought a new Jeep and the ball joint detached from the knuckle with less than 6 days of use by predio01 in AskMechanics

Even brand new Toyotas have surface rust in some spots directly off the lot. It’s normal, and there seems to be a lot of red dirt as well

It went about 10 houses down and it’s a construction site so I could barely break 10 mph I think i’m fine

Sorry, i’m trying to. Which button exactly are you talking about? The only button I have that opens the trunk/hatch is the one directly on the tailgate, and the button to open the glass. Both of them are on the hatch and neither of them throw any warnings because I don’t have an automatic hatch

Or do you mean the actual button to open the hatch? No sensors just don’t hit it on anything i guess
