is it not the other way around. i don't know why Defender drivers think a jeep wrangler will not follow. in fact i think a Defender will go to almost every where i go...
i will show you a thing or two...http://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/showpost.php?p=379196&postcount=332
Who went with from Constantia? Was Rudi or Grant there?

I know ... but per pictures, that's why I recommended the Jeep
i think grant was there...
No, it is not the other way around ... I haven't heard anything good about the Wrangler's off-road performance, so of course I was sceptical ... but was pleasantly surprised.
Funny, that I see the Jeep only in shallow water, and the Landy in deep water
hahaha. dude we should make a date and play and you will be surprised
and the reason you only see the jeep in shallow water is because i was the one taking the photos, they have photo's of the jeep in deep water

I know of someone who took their Forester to the Richtersveld. And had no issues other than ground clearance, which required some careful maneuvering.
Go for a military surplus ‘Hyena’ vehicle. Not particularly green but as a bonus it is mine-resistant and armoured. An excellent anti-taxi vehicle – you will always be able to out-bluff a taxi.
It also has those thick, green-tinted bullet-proof windows. The driver can sneer at any would-be hijackers and smash ‘n grab artists as they battle to get in. An ideal commuting vehicle.
which issue was it the November one?... but for R300k there are a lot of choices... and i would not go for the Terios... something more comfortable and luxurious, as well as very capable off road... Fortuner, JEEPs, Pajero, etc... you name it

jah. Except you take it off-road, drive through a puddle and kill the engine. Only to find out later from VWSA that the V10 has lower airboxes than other Tregs and a pipe that connects to the air intake below the water line: http://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/showthread.php?t=24957 & http://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/showthread.php?t=25770&highlight=touareg+stuck.
