For parent's with a few extra kids this has better seating accommodations than you can get out of a modern suv maybe not for safety purposes but something that you can use to take your family on a ride through the woods
They're lots of fun, but not a safe car. No air bags, crumple zones, side protection, etc and if you roll it on its roof, it'll usually crush to the point of injury to the occupants. Perfectly fine if the driver is sensible and prepared to take extra care with children on board - obviously my humble opinion only. Btw, I have an older one and love it, although it is a bit of a pig to drive in traffic.
yes, however if just one wheel on either axle spins in the mud or snow, etc then it will stop. Then you can then engage the centre diff lock that will lock your front and rear prop shafts (called a tail shaft in a rear wheel drive car) together, so that if one wheel spins (say on the rear axle) but you still have grip/ traction on the front tyres, you will still have forward movement. If one wheel is spinning on both axles then you stop forward movement. That's when axle diff locks come into play and they are an aftermarket addition that in Australia could cost up to around $3000 for each axle. They lock the left wheel to the right wheel so you don't lose forward momentum. In my opinion they are better than the electronic traction control, because traction control relies on a wheel spinning, to which the brakes are applied to stop it spinning, so that drive is redirected to the other wheels with traction. Once the wheel is spinning you have usuallyvalready stopped moving forward. Lockers are on before the wheel spins, so you maintain forward momentum at all times.
I love this vehicle although its bit rusty but my favourite
Love Defender

Is a land Rover full time 4×4?
