Thomas,

Can you get a LR Defender in the US? With a diesel engine? I thought you guys only got the fancier Discovery and of course Range Rover.

You mention the Hummer H2, and although I have never used one myself, I have understood that the mechanical parts are basically a Chevy Tahoe. A good car for some uses perhaps, but not something to take really off-road. I hear they snap half-shafts very easily.

Re. the Mercedes Gelëndewagen, these used to be real off-road machines and are used by many military forces (in a cheap diesel version of course!). Unfortunatly they have consentrated their focus towards luxery the past few years, and are now filled with too much electronics. I don't even know if the trusty 300GDI diesel is available anymore. The G-wagen, just as the Toyota LC HZJ78 has little wheel travel, and is thus dependant on difflocks front and back (which have been standard equipment on them since day 1).

Mercedes does make another very cool 4x4 though; the Unimog. Yes it's a "truck", but not actually bigger than a Hummer H1. Unfortunatly they cost a fortune...

Yet another interesting 4x4 (or 6x6 if you choose) that your nabour most likely won't have is the Pinzgauer:

My cousin has one in 4x4 (it's actually shorter than my LR Defender!), and it will take you wherever you want to go!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that he has also has a Unimog, an old Land Cruiser and a Volvo military 4x4 too... OK, I admit he's a bit of a 4x4 nut!

But he has a lot of fun, that's for sure!

Erik
