The current edition of 4x4 australia magazines 4x4 of the year contest makes for entertaining reading. They pit a swb rubi and lwb sport against the LC 200 new ginormous Patrol and the new colorado 7 and Landrover Discovery. To cut a long story short the disco wins. But from a magazine focussed on offroading some of the comments both surprised and dissapointed me:

DBOR are off till the 26th of June on a major overland expedition!!!

At DBOR, we are often asked what Wrangler to purchase, here are MY OWN personal views and may differ with my team here at Double Black:
