Looking at upgrading from a 96 troopy to a 2002 troopy does anyone have any info on these new troopies and what has changed on them in the last 6 years?
Regards

The writing is on the wall.
What has change in the last twenty years with the 70 series not a lot.
The coil front models are said to suffer from cracks, but that is due to the ride being more comfy and being driven harder.
Can't go wrong realy.
But some will say you should get a Defender, RAFLMAO.
Cheers Kev.

Nice one H you bought a tear to my eye I laughed that hard.

When you say cracks due to the front coil suspension, what do you mean,where? what do I need to check when buying?
And Harry, What so F$%#"$% good about a landrover?

Arron for a 2002 model that looks like it has had a hard time or seen a lot of dirt road, have a good look underneath, at the front suspension and all the mounting points, along the chassis rails, all the seams and welds etc.
You should be pretty right in a late model, but steer clear of anything with a thick coat of underbody spray.
Cheers Kev. :)
