First Impressions.

It's not as spacious as I would have liked however off-road it performed beautifully in some rocky terrain. Approach and departure angles are most excellent




The straight 6 and 4 speed gearbox are very smooth.


The larger screen sure is nice.


The narrow sidewall tires are not up to snuff. TFL woes.


Some under armor wouldn't go astray.



Coil suspension. It just about fits in the garage with roof rack, box and MaxTrax.

 

Good call on the Pangea.

Have you tried fitting smaller wheels with taller sidewall tires?

 

What kind of lift is under there? Did you go with the Johnson pegs or the Lucky8 1x2 plates?

 

Haha, that’s awesome.

My son made his Lego version last year when it came out. I love how it has the low range box too.

 

I love everything about this post.

 

One of my kids had a birthday recently and wanted Lego. Try as I might, she wouldn't go for the Defender and picked some Harry Potter castle thingy. I jokingly mentioned this to my sister who told the parents and a week later this beauty arrived as an early birthday gift for yours truly.

Technic Lego was akin to crack-cocaine for 8-13yr old me back in the day. The rush never gets old. A 12 hours Lego bender over 3 days was the result.

 

I spent several days putting this together and somehow messed up the drivetrain so that when the back wheels go forward, the front wheels go back. I don't have the heart to disassemble it

 

Sounds like you got a limited edition model.

Congrats

 

@Overlanderx - You just need to wait until the next software update. Double lock the doors and the next update to PiviPro should take care of it.

 

I’d definitely have it towed to the dealership; it’s got to be covered under warranty.
