Between a D1 and a D90? Really?So are the number of zeros in the purchase price.

I’ve never been in the new LR market. It’s just been my experience that I can buy a D1/2 for 3k to 8k ( I know that’s finally starting to change ) but a project 110 will be 25k or better. A nice one seems to be around 50 more.Not so. I bought a new 1995 Discovery. I believe that it was SE7. Not 100% sure. The D90 in San Jose CA at the time was optioned and dealer stickered within $1,000 of my D1 and Jeep Grand Cherokee. I was trading in a Wrangler and D90 did not appeal to the wife who had to commute San Jose to Palo Alto, so the choice was D1. You could search and find a decent '93 D90 for 20k ish now.
Can’t tell if your being sarcastic or not.Between a D1 and a D90? Really?
Is your opinion based on any facts?A D1 has more robust body construction IMO.
Once again, as a person who bought five Classics under a total of 23k (or under 2/3 of the purchase price of a D1 or LR4), I understand the CB aspect of dissing the Grenadier. But whoever asserts any mechanical or electrical faults without a first-hand knowledge... shut up.
Oh... that's a classic Discoweb term. Means Cheap Bastard, and describes me to a tee.My opinion is only based on my experience working on both, so that probably doesn't qualify as facts. I explained my observations above. Series trucks used thicker Al which helped greatly when standing on their wings, or in any other durability test. Defender wings are reasonably strong with either tread plate or the FFR-style inner reinforcement plates, but without those they're ridiculously flimsy (0.030" Al IIRC). I have no doubt a Grenadier is stronger than both.
I must have missed something. Not sure what the CB aspect is or who you're talking to.
Well. I am sure you also considered that buying a defender now would be buying ancient technology when compared to Grenadier. It was a wise choice!Oh... that's a classic Discoweb term. Means Cheap Bastard, and describes me to a tee.
I could not afford a 110 <then>, can't afford it now, hence the Grenadier.

You can also tweak it a bit. Have mine set where I can fit in a 7’ garages at home and work at standard height. If it hasn’t self leveled it’ll bump every once in awhile…Until that time you forget to use it.
A winch on the front and some lead bricks in the back should have done the trick.The guy posted on the Ineos forum that it's <1" too tall to fit in his Condo assoc garage.
