High and low transfer box works great.
It's a wonderful machine. Makes everybody smile.
We've attended Land Rover and Military shows in the 101.
We've been away for holidays on caravan sites. Hooked up to the mains it's brilliant as a camper although would benefit from a diesel heater or similar for the colder weather.
Brilliant to drive and so much fun.
No power steering but so long as you're rolling slightly as you turn the wheel it's fairly straightforward.
I had to change the headlights as one was always full of water since i bought it and the other was akin to a candle. The LED headlights i found do not have daytime running lamps and are as sympathetic as i could find.
