Owning a Defender in North America is already a fashion item or over lander fetishism. This one is just extra expensive, and despite all of its capability, it will never see trails. I am bemused by the fact that the Internet continues to argue the merits of these types of vehicles... And yet you won't see a single one…

I completely get it, and completely agree with you.

Is it ignorant to believe that some team of suits decided “The whole VW and Diesel thing is blowing up right now. We can’t deliver any of our brand new diesels to customers! What if we need to issue a recall during this fiasco? What if some sort of debilitating issue is discovered during this firestorm? Even if it…

I don’t understand how that post has any stars. You’re saying that a new luxury SUV with a unibody, four wheel independent suspension, and 19” runs at the smallest is the new Defender. It has no payload, next to no off road ability, no after market, and no global repair network. You do know what Defenders are used…

I am happy this was not me...

I may have been slightly, partially, maybe even fully inebriated when I saw this price... but I giggled like a school girl. CP, bitches.

Exactly. 10 hours to learn a single stretch of road, which is then used as a demonstration... meanwhile the manufacturers’ systems have to work all the time, on roads that the vehicles have never experienced.

I found #1 in Fallout 4. It was cool when I found it, and it’s much cooler now that I know what it's based on. I certainly understand why it was in the area of a direct nuclear impact.

After installing my lift and 35s. That chock was more suitable before the new tires... To give myself credit though, I bought the vehicle in 2012 when gas was 1.34 a litre ($6 a gallon). Sure wish we had american gas prices. It is now a super crazy low of $4.14 per gallon. But hey, at least I get 440KM to a tank (273…

My JK dents when I look at it wrong. I feel your pain.

I completely agree. Burn it all down... but give me the J10 first...

That quote from McGovern says one thing loud and clear: The new defender is not a modernized off road rugged vehicle. It's going to be another damn crossover or a failure of a compromise like the Jeep Liberty was. Dammit.

So much potential lost by no AWD. They didn’t even need to do anything else. AWD and done. I’ll take care of the rest.

Lots of gloves have pretty substantial knuckle guards to stop us from busting our hands when they contact solid cement. The mirror will give first. Unless he smacked it at a bad angle, it probably didn’t hurt at all.

Jeep JK Wranglers come from the factory with control arm and track bar bolts that are too small for the holes, and are threaded all the way through. The holes are 9/16 and the bolts are 14mm. Eventually this will oval the holes on the frame and axle mounting points, and your track bar will be moving all over the…

It’s different dealer to dealer. Legally they cannot “void” your warranty based on the mods you do. What they will do is attempt to blame every issue you have on your modifications, then refuse the work. Selling a Jeep on 37s with the tag line “full warranty!” Should be your first clue to find a different dealer. The…

It’s true, and I know many people who have been (or still are being) screwed over by Jeep. Though I have yet to have any complaints, I haven’t had any major issues either. My Jeep now sits on 35s, and still has two years of warranty left. I’m pretty much fucked if anything goes wrong, and its a bit unnerving. Since I…

You predicted my snark with uncanny accuracy, with the exception that there is only one of me.

My thing is... who in their right mind rams a full size vehicle while on an ATV? I don’t care who’s who... that’s batshit stupid.

Since always.
