My old series 3 Landrover, was great could wade through 3 foot of water, but your feet were wet, pull most things, as long as the clutch was good, but it was 4 wd. But if you lost grip on on wheel , you were stuck. No diff locks, would I swop it for a new tug. YES.
But would love to have it back.and tow my Coachman with it. Named "The Wilderbeast". Took me all over Nigeria. Have to find a photo.
