I have owned a few old cars and 4x's and everything gets old and wears out. As you guys know to keep things operating correctly is a labor of love (and CJ's are primitive). As vehicles get more complicated keeping them on the road will too. These new trucks will get old and I can only imagine trying to restore one in 25 years.
Land Rover has a history of cutting edge tech that does not stand the test of time, For ex. , the height adjustable/speed dependent air bag suspension on the early Town and Country Range Rovers. Everyone I know that has owned that system, replaces it with coils. Expensive, high maint, hard to get parts for.
If Hood overhang was a problem, it seems to have been solved a while ago with Foward Control Jeeps, Unimogs, and VW busses. Hoods get dented and smashed what then? I notice they are not demonstrating this on a Defender, wonder why?
