Best 4X4

I want to get a 4x4 for mainly offroad but on road to ive had a rangerover before but had far to much electical stuff and pnuematic suspension and stuff so was thinking on a discovery what u guys think plus ive seen some with no back windows like a van can u get them like that or do u have to weld them up

Defender will be your best bet as they are less likely to loose bumpers and windows fall out. Brillant off-road and ok on road don't have to spend much either to get off-road ready.

and which would be best engine for power, ease to work on and rialibility, i want to strip the car down to bare essentials

You got to learn to read fernetickly on LZ, some of our members have trouble with the written word.

Get a v8........It will run out of juice long before it gets stuck

Best off roader imo, Defender and V8 is a very good combo. Bags of power and if you bash anything then you can just replace the panels instead of trashing the shell on the likes of a Disco.

4.6 is a p38 range rover injun.3.9 v8 goes in discos-loved the one in me classsic. Dont know if you can get a v8 disco commercial tho.think there all dezul.

yeah i had the rr in 4.6 thats why i was thinking, did u have to fit the 3.9 into the defender or can u get them in it and was mainly thinkin more along the lines of the disco because i thought the defenders were i little tight for room and im quite a big lad lol

Dont wanna be bashing elbows

Is everypanel a bolt on anyone can be replaced

you can get v8 defenders, but they are designed for people with no right arm.Mine was in a rr classic

I dunno what to go for now lol i like the idea of can replace and panel and so on but dont wanna keep bashing my elbow

Buy a second hand Scorpian recce vehicle with tracks rather than tyres. Fit track pads to save to roads and go out in it.

If you don't want to bash your arm open the window lol. If you want to take off road alot and want a realiable engine with not alot of wires get a defender 300tdi and yes they are like Lego you can do everything yourself

Or fit a smaller steering wheel so you don't have to open the window in this weather as the heater is like a mouse blowing over a candle.

lol are the 300 tdi a powerful engine and the smaller steering wheel is a good idea sounds good
