For 40 years i drove Series and Defender vehicles. The new ones are crap in comparison and lack the abilities of Bronco's, which is why i switched. I'll bet i am not the only one. As to success, sure the pent up demand for Defenders caused by decades of import bans will cause the market to...

That's the problem. They dumped the utility market for the luxury market. Works fine except for the fact that they eliminated the utilitarian off road crowd, which are now buying Bronco's. Pricing out their traditional market with a less capable off roader, with almost zero farm / utility use...

For those of us with some degree of hearing impairment, and possibly for those without, I submit the following. At speeds at or above above 55 the wind noise was killing my hearing aids. Programming to reduce back ground noise in my aids also dampened the music I was playing. Those of us...

Interesting on the turning radius. My '92 Defender TDi had the turning radius of the Queen Mary, and the aerodynamics of a brick. But it was an amazing off road vehicle. . Seems like Grenadier copied a lot more than the Defender body. Just shows how badly Land Rover dropped the ball with its...

Interesting thing is that a lot of these "used" units are for sale on ebay.... Although giving it the flock treatment with a bat, or even a 9mm would be much more satisfying.

Disconnected the box from the battery and no problems, so I removed it, carefully. Damn good double stick tape. it is an Ikon Technologies unit which i already knew to be a tracker. They clearly don't want it identified so it goes on label down as the pics indicate. Interesting thing is...

My first thought was it was held on with double stick, and it may well be. But if it is, it is the strongest double stick I have ever encountered. I'll disconnect for a while and see if there is anything not working. Then I'll attempt to remove it intact. Lastly I'll get back on this thread...

Very probable. I bought it used and it was a special order vehicle according to the original window sticker. I bought it from the original dealer.

I did buy it used, thanks.

Does anyone know what this black box is? It sits next to the fuse box and has periodic amber and green light blinking almost all of the time. It is wired into the battery as shown with a red wire which is spliced into the black wire bundle but has a lot of extra wire zip tied as shown. It is...

Ditto with 2 extra 9mm magazines....

Did you program it? I installed the OEM hitch kit and it did mess up the rear proximity alert. Took it to the dealer and had it programmed and that issue vanished. No problems with the handle or locking.

Precisely !

That is my experience exactly. Two close misses on deer in the first three months I had my Bronco. My new ditch lights are great and should help me avoid such near misses. Like you I used the far right switches but I used both of them, one right and one left. That way I can leave the right...

Be sure to get one of the newer, feminized, Defenders if you do. The older and more off road capable versions were every bit as noisy as the Bronco.
