Just something i remember hearing somewhere, maybe toyota used the freebie as a base poi t?
I wasnt dissing the Freelander , (I run two) , but just saying that trying to make them Uber capable Off road vehicles , usually ends in a lot of effort for not a lot of improvement , and risks making them less comfortable , and reliable in their major function, and results in damage either quickly or more long term . A bit like trying to make a defender a road rocket

Nice nudge bar if anyone looking to trick up the freebie

I've just got a '02 TD4 Freeloader as a project car, had a 300 Tdi Disco for 3 years now. I love them both to drive but I do think for greenlaning the FL is a easier and very slightly more capable vehicle (due to traction control). I know for anything more severe there is no beating a Disco/Defender for capability and strength but wet green lanes seems to be the FL's sweet spot. I would admit though I am not the most experienced person when it comes to off roading.

So true. My old disco would go anywhere but theres more challenge to doing it in a freelander. That's what its all about
I got my TC light all fired up down the river bed tonight
Just wondering if you suffer with the rear brakes when/after wading through the deep water with the dust solidifying (presuming uve got drumms)?All depends how you drive, and where you drive. You wouldn't use a Freelander for extreme off road, but people still have adapt there vehicles for that type of use. Freelanders are excellent for green laning, muddy tracks, boggy fields and snow. Even standard or just a tyre change.
