i sold my one 3 years ago cos we did'nt get away enough to warrant keeping it or the van, things have changed now, i would love a defender but the wife dont like them, so it's a disco again but thats no problem, im looking at one tomorrow, 1994 and one owner, fully loaded, i'll let you know how i get on.

ok, heres a question, newbie question.
I am aware that SWB is the way to go for offroading BUT, clearly LWBs are used off road too SO, how much is there in it? I understand that clambering up short hills is better in an swb, but that doesnt mean lwb's cant follow? I ask because I need to decide if an LWb will be just as good. Addmittedly i woudl struggle for space on my drive, but at least i could consider it based on the ability of the lwb... oh, and for inof, the type of off roading i intend to do is light-were talking fun days out on beginners courses at first, moving onto intermediate after a while... All other times the truck will be used as a regular vehicle for holidays, going to work, taking stuff to the skip and so on... so SWB is my first choice, but let me know your opinions on LWBs cheers big ears's |
