The classic “Defender” reincarnated

Complaints like this are what killed the purpose built 4x4s we once had and gave us the poor selection we have today.
No reason a $90K modern truck can't be good on and off road. My old 200 Series Landcruiser, Mitsu Pajero and current Tacoma TRD Pro are/were all great on and off road.
 
Cars and trucks have gotten ridiculously expensive…

Did Landrover stop their anti hunting policy yet ? There was a huge uproar about it some years ago. Some posts in here also

It will always be a compromise one way or another. If you want the best either way the other will suffer. For most people they would rather it drive nice on the highway. Every little change over 50 years has turned dedicated off road 4x4s into highway rigs that are also 4x4.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
