My intention when entering this thread was to just point out that whoever wrote the quote referenced in the op's post didn't know squat about Rovers... They will never Rot into the soil... they are all stainless and aluminum.
Google series II rovers and look at the 40-50 year old trucks... not...
Nope haven't owned either, but test drove 404 several years ago... After having worked for a guy with a Case U900 and using that around his farm for several years... I felt the 404 left a lot to be desired... M35a2 is a lot more bang for the buck...
But I do have Unimog envy.. If I had a spare...
Spicer; the first video is impressive. The rest of them a Subaru Forester could have done.
I will point out none of them are 404 turds.

Doesn't make one truck better then the other... It's like...
Too bad you are not closer, I would Challenger you to a tug-o-war. See how Much good your locking diffs are when I drag that puny truck all over the Wal-mart Parking lot:driver:
counting rubber on the ground it would be 11x5, one more turning wheel then you could ever have:razz:
And the landy is all wheel drive with a central locking diff.
You wanna here what it sounds like when a guy with a British accent craps himself? (Language warning)
I wouldn't mind having a SEE or a 406 with a schmitd snowblower, and I will admit a 404 can go in places a deuce cannot, but I can always get out and walk there and back faster then a 404 can...
