Earlier in the year i had a moment to spare so got the forklift out and tested the articulation on our cars. The LR 110 was by far the best, but the Freelander way exceeded the Suzuki Samurai i had at the time :shock: :lol:
We now have a 2" lift and 215 BFG AT tyres. Does everything we ask of it. And, yes, it does go off road :lol:

I was out laning with Schuee at the weekend, it was tipping it down with rain and some of the lanes were very sticky. Dispite running road tyres with only about 3 mm left he didn't get stuck once...
Was a sight watching you crab sideways along the edge of that field! :lol: Good driving mate!

Been out a few times with a mate who had one. Very capable the only let down was the clearence. Then again it all about reading the turrain and picking the best way forward.
Prefer the old Freebies to the new ones. (Personal opinion)
