i read a funny article the other day about the difference between LR products and Toyota's for overlanding in Africa

it compared two diaries from two different trips -- the guys who went in the LR filled page after page with tails of brilliant (and constant) emergancy repairs to the truck -- praising it (rightly) to the hilt when it finally got them to Cape Town

the other Guys went in a Toyota -- only mentioned it once, when they had to source some wiper blades

unreliability is part of the LR experiance -- ask the Taliban, they hate roadside repairs, makes them a sitting target, they tend to drive Toyota,s not LR products
