90 or 110 - is there much difference off road?

Hi

I currently have an old disco which i use for off roading and I am thinking about changing to a defender, to be used mostly for off roading.

Ideally i would like a 110 for the extra space but i have no experience of how these compare off road to a 90.  

Any thoughts would be welcome.

thanks in advance

Steve

L90OOK:
If you are concerned in anyway about space then a 110 is the answer.
Most comp guys run 90's for improved ramp over angles, departure angles, & turning circle
As for the 110's off road ability they are excellent.  Having a wheel base only 10 inches longer than your disco I can't see you will have too many problems.  A 110 is easier to fit oversize tyres than on the Disco.

AbyssDJ:
the main thing you'll find with a 110 as opposed to a 90 is turning circle. quite often you'll see a 90 turn straight around a corner/obstacle/etc where a 110 might need a bit more messing about.

other than that though its just breakover and departure angles etc... which arent really much of an issue. just give it some more grief ;)

thanks for the replies.

the main thing that concerns me is the rear overhang on a 110 but i guess being used to a disco (with towbar) will help!!

It would be used for greenlaning, play and pay days and maybe the odd RTV trial so if there isn't much in it then i reckon i'll go for the 110

cheers

a 110 with a big lift and big wheels looks cool and gives you back the departure and ramp over if u go high enough.
