[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7548510, member: 718"] Since I want to live and the LC spent the vast majority of its time on the road, no mud tyres on mine. The articulation disadvantage of modern vehicle compared to 80 series or old Land/Range Rovers has been overcome by technology while giving far superior ride and handling on the road. I don‘t agree about the build quality of the Ranger. While it certainly isn’t as well built as a LC there is nothing wrong with its serviceability and my seven year old has great paintwork and is rust free. It’s only a week since the winter’s mud and salt was washed off, its first wash this year, to reveal an as-new shine. While clean I took the opportunity to spray the chassis with an oil and diesel mix to keep it good, which is less than I usually did for the Cruiser which had a complete underbody clean and waxoyling three times in its life. As I previously said, you can’t compare a vehicle modified for specific conditions with an unmodified vehicle. However, your 80 series has pee poor brakes from the factory for its size and weight, no ABS in all probability, and with mud tyres undoubtedly has a braking distance best compared with an oil tanker rather than anything modernand stock. Apples and oranges you see. [/QUOTE]
