Land Rovers That Suck

This would be better if it wasn't named the "Long Ranger" and that name wasn't plastered all over it -- seriously, WHY?

You see it’s a play on words, it’s a Range Rover, but longer. See it’s funny.

Appears well adjusted for red dust.

Was checking that one out this morning. Nice truck, but someone shat that red [cue Ricardo Montalban voice] "rich Corinthian leather" all over the inside. The dash is a tad excessive...

Not a big fan of the color scheme, but the leather inside is done to a pretty high level including embossing the heater controls on the leather. Not a bad job. I personally wouldn't elevate this to "suck" status, but definitely not my flavor.

I’d agree.
Not my cup of tea, but aside from the color choice it isn’t bad at all in my opinion.
Interesting to say the least.Humm, just don't know what to say about this..
This Land Rover Defender Is Actually A Modern Jeep Wrangler Underneath
There’s a long list of available exterior and interior customization options, and Function builds its vehicles entirely by hand.www-motor1-com.cdn.ampproject.org

What's the advantage over stretching a 110 chassis?

I thought the advantage was simply the entire stock Wrangler drivetrain with the 3.6 Pentastar V6. They only seem to offer 6.2 LS3 and an LT4 option. So the advantage seems to be one-upping others.
The exterior is understated, so averaging in and out, it's OK. That's how it works right?
I hope the interior comes off better in person than in pics. I don't think I'll ever like dark headliners though. bringaflashlight.com

Definitely not in the suck catagory for me. 4 bolts to remove that front bumper and 8 for the roof rack and you are back in business. Would qualify as a bumper that sucks--won't dispute that! But everyting else seems pretty clean/tight IMHO. It isn't how I build my stuff, but if I saw this for sale for a reasonable amount, I would consider it. May have to get rid of front window tinting as it is illegal around these parts...

You're getting into grey area now. There are many "land rovers that suck" that can be fixed pretty easily. This thread is for land rovers that suck currently regardless of potential. One that comes into mind is the super clean AA yellow with the terrible bumpers
