Totaly agree with em. The club I off road with has a good cross section of vehicles including and Ibex and lots of Disco's etc. I've seen Landys completely stuck where an SJ (or jimny) has just breezed through, but I've also be caught out trying to follow a Landy. Unfortunately I can accept how capable Landrovers are as well as knowing they have limits. Unfortunately some Landrover owners refuse to accept other makes can be as capable as a Landrover.ps I own both, but a Suzuki is my chosen off road toy.
Just to pee off the Landrover drivers when their un-stoppable "best 4x4 by far gets stuck I don't. .
not really biased in any way , but i do see many suzukis on their sides. they seem to roll easier and i guess thats because the track is narrower than larger 4x4s and that means the suzuki has two wheels in the ruts and the other two on top which can catch it out. This of course can be overcome.
Getting bact to the origional thread! In my experience a standard SJ with mud tyres will make an excellent Green laner, and will probably be a lot cheaper to run and buy in the first place.
Glaggs we have em both in the family and have for years, they are both good in their own areas, zukes skip over mud where a landy may well bog in, Landys are safer hill climbers as you dont need the run up for many hills and are more controlled, admittedly the zukes will often climb the hills as well but a run up due to lower torque and they aint stopping at the top till they're over Smile, hill descents are far more controlled in my landy than the SJ or vitara cos the gearing and torque are more suited, for general laning I rate the zuke as onl anes you may get very muddy areas and the zuke excells and can easily avoid the ruts.....
