Y60 SLX SWB 2.8td - Land Rover Defender comparison
Hi fellas,
First post on here so be gentle (might be in the wrong section), my situation is as follows. I own a Land Rover Defender 90 300tdi which I'm selling - too unreliable for every day use. My question is, considering I'm used to driving a Defender which does let me down quite frequently, how reliable are y60 2.8td's on the road ? How easy are they to drive in comparison to a Defender ? Im not having a bitch or a moan about defenders, they are what they are and you either love them or hate them, i love them but unfortunately I need to have a car which is not going to let me down as much so I just want to know a few things. How much power can the drive chain handle on this patrol ? My plans would be to drive this patrol as my everyday car, ive got some 37" Maxxis tyres floating about that will go on it nicely im sure, but as far a lift kits go, do they compromise the drive like they do on the defenders?
Quite a strange post I admit, this is my first dive into the Jap world of 4x4's.
