It looks a lot beefier than my D90. Articulation might be a little less but I do not see any problems doing everything and more I did with the D90. I plan to get it dirty this weekend. A couple of comment to questions posted on site. Seats are great. Less wind noise than my 05 RR. I like the exhaust sound better. Cornering lights are cool. No tel aid, who cares. Nav still sucks compared to the RR touch screen. Although you still need a good garmin with topos it you are going off road. I like the new heated front window defroster. The radio sounds nice clear and lots of base. Over all I like the ride fells solid like I expected.

I'm envious of your garage lift. I would install one in my garage if it weren't for the neighborhood roof height restrictions. I guess the neighbors will have to look at my G's parked outside!  -Martin | |

Nothing is hanging low - like in so many other 4x4. Also, I believe that skid plates give you a false sense of security. Know your vehicle's limits and act accordingly. I have had my G's in the most demanding places and have never even touched anything vital. (lions.jpg) Attachments ---------------- lions.jpg (276KB - 9 downloads) | |
