LOL. Probably a good choice, but according to one notable 4wd writer, they are the mark of a bogan 4wder :P
Nevertheless, I'd trust one of those more than I'd trust the current model Patrol. Watched many a youtube video where a current Patrol makes disconcerting driveline noises (driveline not up to the task of what the engine dishes out?).
I'm debating my own possible spending.... keep my Disco 4 and throw $$ at it adding a winch, or call it a day and get an Everest. Turns out an alarming number of D4 V6's break crankshafts, a problem that apparently persists even into the D5. The dream vehicle was a Defender but that's now out, same engine and LR have never bothered to address the fault.
