Hello all. I recently joined this forum and have thoroughly enjoyed the articles and discussions I have found here. I bought a slightly used 2011 4Runner Trail back in March of this year, and with the warm weather finally here, I'll be looking to do some preventative maintenance and potential mods during the summer; I'm sure this forum (specifically the Toyota section) will prove to be a useful resource.
My question though is unrelated to my own vehicle. I've always had a fascination with the Land Rover brand. I've read the stories of old Camel Trophy competitions and of rugged expeditions using Land Rovers, old and new. My experience with the brand is limited to well, reading. So my question may seem overly simple and stupid, but here it is:
Which of Land Rovers' current vehicles are made with Body on Frame construction? I know there has been a big push by many different manufacturers (including Land Rover) to change over to unibody designs.
I believe certain models like the Range Rover have transitioned to unibody...does the offroading community still consider them viable options for overlanding despite this transition?
