...yes, i have seen quite a few defenders and understand that they are essentially sourced through private importers who then need to comply with the various states' smog, saftey, etc. requirements (which pushes up the final cost quite considerably)...one thing i noticed with most state-side defenders is that they seem to exhibit advanced stages of corrosion...perhaps this is due to the lack of corrosion protection offered by most of the mainstream auto producers...although i would think that you in norway would know better about this...
...heard about the tahoe chassis used by the h-2, but also heard that the vehicle is quite competent in an off-road environment...can't verify this independently one way or the other...but they seem quite bulky which may account for the broken axels...
...can certainly attest to the toyota's off-roading prowess...once took an off-road path through the himalaya's in a first gen land cruiser (every three of four vehicles in tibet seemed to be a toyota)...had to brace my hands to the ceiling to avoid the whiplash caused by the 1 - 2 feet boulders...but the toyota kept trudging through without a hitch...
...looks as through you are an off-road - in addition to gaming - enthusiast...
