That's disgusting. But really it's mainly the stupid rims plus the "Freelander Factor". Otherwise, it's interesting to see them go SWB, particularly while Jeep is doing the opposite. The front and rear shackles and integral winch (and what looks like a skid plate) are intriguing although it's hard to get excited about utilitarian features when they come in such a fragile-looking plastic blister pack. Also this nose-down look gives us a crappy approach angle which screams form over function. Decent departure angle though. Which bits of the hard top come off? What's the deal with that hexagonal stuff in the back?
Lest we forget, this is what a proper factory bumper looks like; a steel beam that you can replace with fancy crap if you really want to:
In other Landie news, I was parked outside Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall in central Taipei this afternoon (see image below, round the back by the conifers) alongside a tricked-out and lovingly abused Camel Trophy Disco, and an immaculate 110. Most unusual in a Jeep country. Was the Father of the Nation a secret Landie fan? If so I hope my YJ did not dishonor his memory.
