It's the same reason I'd take a BSA over a Harley. To me it's a no-brainer. And I drive a Suzuki because I like the reliability

 

Not sure what you are referring too, because most do not. The Wrangler Rubicon does come with front & rear lockers, but that's all I know of, & it's a limited availability model. The Grand Cherokees with Quadra-Trac & Quadra-Drive have LSDs in the front & rear, but that's not the same as a locker. Not sure about the lift kits, larger tires, ect. but I do know that most Jeeps sold today have Independent Front Suspension, & not very good ones at that. All the new built Wranglers at my Jeep dealer are modified by Burnsville Off Road, not Chrysler.

Like I said before, I really like Jeeps, but if it's a 2002 & newer & it's not a Wrangler, it's not going to be as capable off road, even when built, as a Disco.

 

I was referring to the Rubicon, however maybe "most" wasn't the correct word. Its an option from the factory and a great one at that. I don't see Rover offering that option whatsoever.

If rover wants to claim offroad prowess, maybe they should offer offroad upgrades similar to what jeep is offering.

And all of the wrangler models currently available do still have solid front axles...

 

If I could afford one of these, I wouldn't be sitting here writing this right now. BOR makes these for around $50,000-$100,000, depending on how you want it built.

 

f/r air locking dana44s is one hell of an option and the new dana44s are even better. TJ rubicons came with 31" MTRs (non rubicons came with 30" GSAs) I think all new JKs come with 32s (rubicons and non-rubicons)

Don't defenders come with locking diffs?

 

I'd take one of these over anything else:

That does look fun, but there is a chance that my wife would agree to the Hemi powered 4 door JK!

No they do not,

 

[QUOTE=brooksa;164932]Really???? Since when? I always thought Defenders had diff lock stock, but since we dont have them here in the states, I cant say for sure myself.

 

[QUOTE=Camdisco24;164933]
They come with the center diff lock yes but not f/r locking diffs like the Rubi
