Discoveries have a higher rear COG too. Not helpful with the low rear roll stiffness of the RR suspension geometry.

Well in that case:tna racing wrote:im talking locked rangie on 35's Vs locked disco on 35s i still notice it
Are you talking only 1 of each vehicle???
Are they running the same tyres at the same pressure???
Are the suspension setups the same???

Because it sounds like you are asking something like, "When I imagine a Rangie and a Disco driving up an imaginary hill, the Rangie always gets further. Why would this be?"

Give me my skinnier, harder cut price seats any day along with my awkward rear storage area.
Doesn't matter anyway. Most people that don't have a clue about land rovers (ie most people) think its a range rover anyway

Maybe your mate in the rangie is a better driver.tna racing wrote:have a mate with a locked rangie on 35" pedes and 2 " lift and have a mate on 35" pedes 2" lift an lockedchimpboy wrote:Is it a real example or a made up example?tna racing wrote:i just used that as a example.

I was told disco's were actually lighter than the Rangie as they have less glass in them. Wouldn't be by much either way though.
When's the drive off

Exactly - so many variables...TRobbo wrote: Maybe your mate in the rangie is a better driver.
I have seen cases where a double locked disco got very stuck, yet an unlocked 109" landie ute walked up.
So that MUST mean that an extra 9" of wheelbase is better than having double lockers!

If you vehicle is fitted with a wheelbase you should get better fuel economy.chimpboy wrote:How can I tell if my vehicle has a wheelbase, anyway?
I lost my wheelbase once and the fuel economy went up sh!t creek, not to mention my blinkers overheated (partial my fault as I had not topped up on blinker fluid).
