Default Rovers Blow

My friend called me and said he couldnt get his truck back to pull a friend out so he asked me if I could.. I get back in some panzi mud and find a land rover in some mud a my jeep could get threw..I pulled him out.. Moral of the story is jeeps are better that rovers (sometimes)

I have to agree that I have always liked jeeps better than rovers........

But you also have to keep in mind that sometimes its the operator rather than the machine that blows.

I can't believe that Rovers would suck too much...everyone gets stuck once in a while.

I pulled out a stuck Land Rover Discovery with my Range Rover that a Jeep could not pull out. I agree that a lot has to do with the operator not the vehicle. Both Jeeps and Land Rovers are very capable off road vehicles in the right hands.

You gotta admit LR defenders look pretty damn good though.

I gotta stick up for Land Rovers here, they are (the Defender 110 and 90 at least) are superb off-road vehicles. We had an old 1970's Land Rover growing up and that thing would go anywhere. In a perfect world I would have my JK and short well base Landie!!
