I've got an 88inch series landy, I could count the number of times i've had to pull hiluxes and other long wheel base trucks off of humps because they got bellied following me through a track... swb 4 lyfe....
Well, obviously if you increase the wheelbase of a car from something like 90 inches to 110 inches as it is with the Defender 90 and 110, then the one with the longer wheelbase is going to get stuck because a sharp hill is more likely to end up between the wheels with the wheels having very little grip :>
The 90's shorter wheelbase helps it get over those smaller mounds. Although a good driver makes all the difference off-road. Great vid and some nice Landys!!
Thats my 90 about 2 years ago, a 200tdi. Then it was completely standard except for slightly larger AT tyres and a snorkel. Now it's on a galvanized chassis with a VNT turbo, and a different colour among other things.
90's are always going to be better, axles are closer together so you don't get stuck like a seesaw on the gradients, 110's are still awesome and better for mountain rescue as they have more space for equipment, passengers and supplies.
Both the 110 and 90 are equally good off road, the problem there was the 110 driver doesnt know his vehicle well enough yet, plus he needs to be more gentle, liste to how he revs it compared to the 90.
The shorter wheel base increases the ramp over angle, which was requied here, so was an advantage. However, momentum wouldhave got him through - just a little more welly...
He seems to give it a lot of welly... At the wrong times. Thats whats getting him stuck, or digging him in further. I think he just needs to ease off.
110 arnt any good for most off roading there simply too damn long where as a 90 is the perfect beast for getting up and over then through the various obstacles on most off roading circuts
Very nice, but the 110 driver hasnt got too much experience with driving it. The driver in the 90 is farily better, but i think he's gotten an Diff Air-lock.
The 90 is designed for that sort of offroading. 110 is designed for transporting large numbers of people / large amounts of kit and is therefore not as agile (still great in a "normal" offroad situation tho!
Thankyou, nice to hear. This was the first off road test after I finished my project 90 as seen in the vid. And well, I was pleased to say the least. Going back to Woodlands this sunday so will hopefully get another video up early next week.

The 110 is just to long. Always gets stuck on top. I drive a 90 -:)

110 needs to get some more aggressive tyres and a bit less wheel spinning and it'd be through no probs.

On the contrary, I own a 110 and take it off-roading often and never really have any problems except for the turning circle.

Simple physics I'm afraid... longer wheelbase makes for easy high centering in those conditions. No amount of skill can prevent certain situations.
