Military Defender

<< < (3/3)

PUX:
the miliatry defender referred to as a wolf by us mil guys the vent is for a splash gaurd also has a little foam filter for dust just to make it breath easier but nine times out of ten when we go to rougher places we fit snorkels to em also the wolf is fitted with just a normal 300tdi most upgrading was done on the chassis and suspension electrics etc, i love these things and i work em hard when away on exercise here is a pic of me with one stripped down. Also im towing one of the new trailers that is replacing the old 3/4 ton sankeys these new ones are top notch with stowage bins for starps and light guards. Oh im the one wit the hat on :D

littlepow:
And the bods at land Rover have fitted roll bars as standard. Goodyear G90 tyres are so much better off road than the old Michelin tyres.

Wombat Mike:
It has two uses the other one listed in my military handbook that goes with my winterised/wading kit is slightly amazing. My vehicle has a kind of sun roof except it's not it is an escape hatch or at least a hatch for when you are coming off a landing craft into water. Apparently if the sea is a bit rough one guy stands on the seat and iwth the fleible hose fixed on top of the already fitted snorkel holds the end backwards and higher up. It helpfully mentions that the driver will probably need a breathing kit. I'm not kiding that is the words from the MOD.

The other use is as previously mentioned for when running in a garage or tented position, probably for radio and repairs.
