Please give us a home? :)

Do you need a gasket for the Rover? I'm pretty sure I have some laying around. Got whole engines laying around for that matter... On the other hand, if it's for the Mutt, I've got that too I think. Orrrr... if it's the other kind of Mutt...

Ok, ok. Just one one Land Rover forum, that's all we need. Just one. Please?

Last weekend's rally had 5 Military Land Rovers show up. Just here in little ole East Tennessee. I still believe it's a shame that we are discriminated against on Steel Soldiers. Land Rovers are at the Steel Soldiers Rallies, and will be again in a few weeks. I haven't noticed any Tatras...

If you like Military Land Rovers, you got to see this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZzCfojaD-g&feature=player_detailpage

Yeah, a we need a seperate G-Wagon forum! not just a thread! Sorry about going off topic. So, what do y'all think about all those Aussie Military Land-Rover Perenties which were just auctioned off? Did you see the prices the 6x6's brought? Land-Rover forever!!!

Graz, Austria, is where the G-wagen is produced under contract for Mercedes Benz. Magna Steyr, formerly Steyr-Daimler-Puch (of Steyr Rifle fame) builds it. The same company that designed and built the Pinzgauer (although it's built in the UK now), and the Haflinger, and many other trucks...

You're right. I don't think the general population here forgets who our allies are. But I think they do forget the fact that they don't all drive Jeeps and HMMWV's. But I'm still irked everytime I come here and there's no Land Rover forum, yet there are are still forums for the weirdo esoteric...

Just for the record, here in Knoxville at a local D-Day anniversay event, a Military Land Rover was in the front of the vehicle display, and the British National Anthem was played right along with the Star Spangled Banner. But there were no Volvo's. Tatras, Urals, GAZ's or other such vehicles...

From what I've seen my 463.421 G500 is pretty much the same as any other 463 chassis, which is considered stronger than the earlier 460 and 461 chassis (G270 etc.) Mine does have skidplates front, center and rear, and front/rear diff locks, 2-speed transfer case etc. It is a very tough truck, in...

I find this last statement curious. Do you feel that there are only a few "body styles" that were changed for military use? I'm not sure I follow. Certainly there have been civilian Land Rovers with Military adapted bodies, but there are many purpose-designed military Land Rovers, not just...

This I would not doubt at all. The Land Rovers can be failure prone, and are no doubt less reliable overall than the simpler Diesel G-Wagens used by the military. However, I would not catagorize the Lightweight Land Rover as an unreliable vehicle. I believe they are substaintially more reliable...

Thanks for support. Regarding the G-wagens, all I can say is that Denmark must have got one a heck of a deal if they bought 3 G's for the price of a single Land-Rover. Someone definitely got cheated somewhere! Garret

See, people here do care about Rovers! All this time I had felt insulted when I logged in and saw forums for all sorts of Commie rigs and the like, but nothing for the ubiquitous Military Land-Rover. Like I conceded already, I really don't think there is a need for a Land-Rover forum here...

That's pretty much my point. Why all the forums for these obscure vehicles that never even fought on our side? Just here in my little part of East Tennessee, I know of at least 6 Military Land-Rovers within 10 miles of me, not counting mine. Yet I've never even heard of a single Tatra, Volvo...

Why is there no forum for Land-Rovers on Steel Soldiers? I find it astonishing that there are sections on this forum for all sorts of Military vehicles, including virtually unheard of Eastern bloc trucks, like Tatras etc., but yet there is no Land-Rover section? The Land-Rover is one of the...
