Back in June '20 I had the lucky opportunity to join Steve Burt, GM of Land Rover Denver, on Chinaman's trail with their pre-release D110. I had come out with my '98 Range Rover, my friend Chris with his '94 D90, and Steve's son with his Jeep Wrangler. It was during this trip that Steve allowed me some seat time in the Defender and I was impressed with its layout and seating space, being 6'4" and about 230lbs headroom and visibility is often a challenge in most vehicles. I had been considering purchasing the new Defender before this trip, but now knowing I had good headroom, seating position, and visibility cinched it for me.

With the recent release of the New Defender, I was lucky enough to be invited on a trail ride with one of the demo vehicles from Land Rover Denver. They had already done a little outfitting of this one with a 2” air suspension lift and larger 275/60R20 BFG AT tires.

Four of us lined up that morning, Chris & Shea Breidenbach in his ’94 D90 nicknamed “The Crusher”, me and Dena in the ’98 P38 nicknamed “Trail Shark”, Steve Burt the GM of Land Rover Denver in the ’20 D110, one of Steve’s sons in his Jeep TJ, the other son hiked most of the trail taking video. We spen ... read more

JC's British & 4x4 is now offering expanded British car services by adding Jaguar to our fold. Since 2005 Land Rover and Jaguar have shared many drivetrain and electrical components as they were both owned by Ford at that time. And since the acquisition of both Land Rover and Jaguar by Tata Motors in 2008 they have been fully merged on a corporate and engineering level into the JLR auto group. JC's British & 4x4 is one of the few Colorado shops that has Genuine JLR diagnostic equipment and a full subscription to JLR factory information and programming, and top tier aftermarket diagnostic tools from Autologic. We invest in the factory JLR special tooling so we can follow that manufacturer's service procedures perfectly, and stock a large volume of parts to expedite our service work to get our customer's vehicle back in their hands as quickly as possible following our thorough post-service test drive. We look forward to becoming your prefer ... read more
