That land rover is at least 13 years old, 98 is the last year they made that model. The car in front of it was last made in 96. That Jeep is, at oldest, a 2003. Lets see an old jeep without traction control like the rovers do it. watch?v=jLBg4-dI05A
I pulled a stock wrangler out of a mud pit with my stock land rover. Ever think its the driver more than the vehicle? And the wrangler took a different approach than the rover
@FenderBassMaster610 i pulled a dodge truck out of the mud on my mustang... i was on the road and he was in the mud, its all relative, no two situations are the same.
I've owned both rigs in various specs; 96' & 04 SE7 Disco's, '91 YJ, 97 TJ & 07 JK Rubi Unlimited (now lifted with 35's and some power upgrades). The JK is an inspiring ride; like photoshop for the trial, makes quick work of average problems (with some limitations). That said, the video is apple to oranges. The disco took a tough deep line and the JK didn't. A defender 90 or 110 with lockers would be a bit more interesting methinks.
I'll be honest. I've owned a disco, but Jeep is better (which I still own). Yes, disco had smaller tires, yes it had to stop cause a vehicle was in the way. Yes the rubicon had 32" tires, yes he was a smarter driver, and finally YES! THE JEEP IS BETTER THE LAND ROVERS!
There's 20 years of engineering, and "Stock" lockers... This is a pretty unfair comparison, and the Rubicon is not "Stock" in the traditional sense of the word, but rather purpose built from the factory.
Americans vs. The British ( I'm one) I'll admit I'm fond of the Landy more but that's just biased like the rest of these comments and excuses will always be at hand. They are both good cars and when evenly pitched.....No difference. So please SHUT THE FUCK UP. Thank You
lol hahaha A Rubicon destroys all STOCK vehicles...don't be envious that American Supremacy of off road ingenuity and engineering has forever dominated and trumped horrible british land rover engineering...so amusing.
@bcolavolpe yeah but that was like a 95 disco vs like a 08 jeep look how long it took us americans to beat the british they had it figured out way befor we did and we more then likely stole there ideas anyways. put a 95 jeep up against the 95 disco i bet it wont win then ?
@bibos72 but steel having big off road tyres and discovery have ridiculous little 205r80. and the rubicon have diflook, and the rubicon take a different way. But i believe rubicon have best capability's then a no modification discovery, and discovery is not a defender. The new jeep is a very beautiful car and much more capable then the old one wrangler, is a completely different car
@discovery110 and idk where your from but a tire size that is 205r80 first of all don't make sense because its missing a number, second that would mean that the LR had 80" rims
and fedima sirocco tires are stupid expensive so ill stick with my BFGs anyhow, BTW you might want to invest in some grammar classes as I have to read your comments twice or more to understand them
@discovery110 i dont know what kind of tires the jeep had i just know that the LR had BFG MTs, you're the one that said they're sirocos or whatever.
and no I do not know what you mean when you say a tire size that makes no sense, no one would lol.
if I told you my tires on my truck were 12.5xr17 would you know what size they were? NO because I left out a # lol I'm not trying to be a dick I'm just saying what I know and what I saw from the video
from all of thaws that says the land rover was worst driver I can accept that I can't accept that the land rover is good as the wrangler rubicon the land rover discovery is no match from the wrangler rubicon the only land rover that can stand up at the rubicon is the defender and again the wrangler rubicon is a better off road
The guy driving the disco is just a moron that doesn't know how to offroad. And I agree with pallen921. After seeing a failed attempt prior to going into that, any experienced driver would be able to make it with a honda civic.
@XIII10111 Idiot. The disco obviously hit a hole that the jeep avoided. Maybe you were thinking that was your ass, since you obviously don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. Go put a fart cannon and a giant wing on your 92 HP 1990 Eclipse.
@PumpingSmashkins Since you struggle with reading comprehension let me break down what I just said. The rover got stuck and could not get out but continued trying to get out the same way and it WAS NOT WORKING.
Then driver of the Jeep looked at the situation and realized the Disco OBVIOUSLY couldn't make it up the way it was trying to. So he made an educated guess that it was a bad idea to do the same thing. Make more sense there buddy? You said the same thing. And I drive Disco you moron.
@XIII10111 Since I comprehended your idiotic post just fine, let me break it down for you: You called the disco driver a moron for not having been able to see a hole made invisible by feet of muddy water. Once he had hit it, of course he's going to struggle to get out of it, but get out of it he did. You, of course, would magically have immediately determined the exact dimensions of the still invisible hole and avoided it on the next attempt. Idiot. Get back in your riced-out Eclipse.
@PumpingSmashkins your struggles continue I see. The Disco driver is an idiot, not because he got stuck on the first try, but because after getting stuck, he sat there with his foot on the gas obviously getting nowhere for quite some time. He did not reassess the situation or attempt to approach the obstacle in a different way for quite some time where an experienced driver would have done so immediately. And again, I drive a Disco and have never owned anything but rovers. GTFOff the internet.
@XIII10111 Don't forget the Jeep was a Rubicon and had it in 4lo. this engages the lockers and give the highest torque setting to the wheel so he just has to let it coast. Disco should have reassessed the situation but wanted to be manly and try harder before changing his stance. Sense of pride at this point
It's simple. The jeep driver is better and picks the route to suit his vehicle + wheelbase. I've owned and driven std. and modified landrovers from a 1951 80" to a rangerover lse lwb 1995 and could get them all through that at the first attempt - especially if I had witnessed a prior failed attempt. I've driven a couple of jeeps as well and could also get them through.
These "Vs" videos never fail to crack me up. The Discovery simply was badly driven through this particular obstacle....he started going practically sideways...and probably had center-lock off. The rubi probably had the diff locks fully engaged.
The white Defender and the Range Rover up ahead probably made it through with litlle problem just like the Rubicon.
