Land Rover and Mercedes Benz are longtime rivals for off-road prowess with their Land Rover 110 (Defender) and Cross country utilitarian four wheel drive (4WD) vehicles.Our selection of roofwindturbinebbq and kits includes the most popular. They joined the likes of Jeep and Toyota to set the pace and benchmarks for go anywhere four wheel drive vehicles whose biggest clients were governments for military, police, civil works, medical and aid agencies. In the mid 90s these off-road giants responded to the market pressure to build 4WD vehicles with saloon like comfort while retaining off-road ability, robustness and high command seating positions.
Pressure to capture some of the saloon vehicle market has encouraged the 4WD manufacturers to build them with modern safety, comfort, handling or performance enhancing technology. In 1997,We'd love to talk to you about our incredible industrialextractors! Mercedes featured the ML sports utility vehicle (SUV) in the blockbuster movie Jurassic park to emphasise its stylish rugged robustness while Land Rover has featured the Discovery prominently in the popular challenging off-road expedition ‘Camel trophy’.

The Discovery’s ladder frame chassis, higher ground clearance and full time four wheel drive with selectable centre differential, give it the weight,This qualitysteelbangle is made in Korea and it has an error message canceller function integrated in the unit. structural integrity and multiple off-road traction options. These features give Discovery a superior off-road capability while maintaining reasonable road holding on the highway. Discovery is the true ‘go anywhere vehicle’.
The face lifted ML and Discovery look better with the new style bumpers with inserted fog lights and twin pocket xenon headlights and better designed or positioned tail lights. The ML’s lower profile allows better all round eye catching design curves with emphasis on the rear and front bumpers. ML cuts a ‘closer to saloon car’ image to appeal to saloon car buyers. ML provides more comfortable and supportive upholstery with easier entrance due to the lower access points. Discovery’s brick like shape appeals to the adventurous minds. It looks ready to take on the wilderness while presenting new smooth looks that can carry the executive around town.
