I don't normally go in for the whole my cars better than your car sort of thing, but my mate has invited me to a landrover off road event. Run by a landrover club that I used to be a member of.

So i know i am going to get a load of stick about now having a jeep instead. I am much happier with my jeep, it is faster more comfortable and more luxurious etc. etc.

But i was hoping that you lot out there might have some usefull technical spec's that would out do the landy boys to hopefully give me some ammunition against them when i come under a barrage of Jeep moching jokes

I know my N reg XJ has a limited slip rear diff that the landys dont have and i am pretty sure the 4lt hp engine is more power full.....

Any other pointer would be much appeciated so i can go and proudly fly the Jeep flag at this prodominatly landy event

Mark out the turning circle of your XJ, and invite the Series owners to try and beat it...  :wink:

I'm in a similar situation. I've been beating on the local LROC's door for 3 years, and they have finally opened it (a crack). Apparently now i can enter TYRO's, etc. However i can't be scored "as its a LR event, under association rules"... :roll:

Still, its a step in the right direction.

our local LROC is bound so tightly is rules that they hardly ever have any actual fun !! :roll:   most people join the club for 1 year and are soo dissapointed they then leave and join other clubs sometimes miles away.

i like to see the best in every vehicle. and dont normally go in for this sort of thing, but i think their blinkers need taking off and they need to realize othre vehicle can go off road apart from landrovers

after all we all want the same thing, to have fun off oad and to get muddy :lol:

Don't get me wrong i really like landrovers, i was just thinking that the Jeep XJ must have one or two specs that equal to or are better than some landies. Just wanted to try and find out so i can hold my head up at the land rover events.

Sorry if i have offended any one :oops:  this was not an attenmt to berate landrovers in any way what so ever.
