--- Quote from: "Bigbluemaverick" ---Bad experience? I should say. Had to have one for a previous job(coal mining engineer), had it two years and it needed a new bulk head as the metal worm had left two holes at the bottom hinges. :evil:
My nissan in a dress is 13 and has one bit of a hole in one front wing, not that the rest is pristean but one hole in 13 years versus 2 holes in 2 years?

hmm got a bad one then mine's 19 years old only just had 2 patches on the chassis bulkhead starting to go but hey at least i can replace it with a galvanised one and convert to whatever body type i require can even put a nice engine under the hood always fancied toyota 4.2 turbo diesel again have NOTHING against Jap vehicles and not spoiling for a slanging match so hey chill.. :?  :? Oh and my dad now has a landcruiser amazon 4.2 turbo diesel runs rings round his old Nissans and yes i do like driving it! it pulls like a Train!! just always scared of scratching it.... :lol:  :lol:   and one last thing wouldn't have any other Land rover product other than a defender or series motor no disrespect to  range rover/freelander/disco owners (hang on how diplomatic can i be??) :oops: and In Truth no manufacturer makes a perfect vehicle they all have problems isn't that why we love/hate them if everything lasted forever what would we have to moan about?? :wink:  :wink:

Having driven both long and short I'd now go for short every time, they are great off-road acceptable on the road - especially for parking.

Most family people that can only afford one would go for a LWB though


Don't believe this question is about marque though is it?  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Oh and not every 4x4 is a brit built rot box! :twisted:

Remember a 90 is actually a 93" wheelbase, but for me SWB off road all the way they're just so much more manouverable, never mind ramp over, approach and departure etc, the later especially on our truck bigblue cos most of the difference between a SWB and a LWB T2/Mav is the rear overhang theres 7.8" difference in wheel base but 18.9" difference in length.

Not everybody is a traitor to British engineering.  :wink:

Thrasher:
Having a 100" and a 114" - it's not *that* hard to tell the difference. However, the wheelbase isn't the whole story of course, the 114" wheelbase is 196" long  :shock:
