We've been out with this guy a lot now and to be honest as a terrain covering laning vehicle it doesn't compare to a Land Rover. Even with its all round difflocks. It gets stick or struggles over terrain the Land Rover breezes over so often and then when you get on a tight scratchy lane its a real struggle getting it through.

Driving it on something like the Pheasant Steps or the V Gulley in mid Wales and it tips and wobbles about so badly you need nerves of steel to drive it.

It only comes into it's own in deep ruts where the Land Rover bottoms out and then when you park up for the night on a laning weekend. While we are faffing in the rain putting tents up, he just climbs into his bunk! Thumbs Up

He got well stuck at Tong last weekend though.

did the LR drive through that same hole unaided?

We used them with work. have a customer who does our days with them too.

very capable, strong running gear, portals, axle lockers in my experience far out performing a land rover off road. Cheers

Strangely, I spotted this a couple of weeks ago, parks here all the time and somebody’s ‘daily’!

I have used them quite extensively, they are generally superior to a LR off road, but need a certain amount of confidence from the driver as they do not feel as secure.
The portals and diff-locks allow them to go a lot further before getting stuck, but then they take a LOT more unsticking!
The real problem was the central tubes cracked and rendered every single one we had inoperative at some time, these are VERY expensive vehicles and not as robust as they should be for the cash.
They are capable off road and will leave any standard 4x4 for dead in almost all off road situations, though they have a tendency to tip over the front wheels on steep descents( don’t ask). 80" 1948

Project Mantis ~ I like the look of the central tubular drivetrain/chassis.
