The ground clearance on that Shogun looks terrible!!!

My Defender 110 is standard height and I can just fit my knee under the sill.............

Ground clearence does look a bit low but it does have a relatively short wheelbase which will help. youre braver than me off roading that, it would have to spend a week in the body shop by the time i finished with it, and its far too nice for that. I bet its got more elbow room and is quieter than a 110 just the job for shopping trips and dropping the kids off to school!

That's not green laning...

Except yours has got fewer holes in it

Not with those tyres you'd have lost your false teeth by the time you'd reached the Asda car park
