Got it for my wife a few years ago. It’s an ‘06 which is finally up to 71,000 miles. Put some 5th gen 4R limited wheels/tires on it for summer and have stock wheels with all terrains for winter. Don’t use it off road much since she won’t let me but after not being able to get a big tandem axle...

Richard Davis (rdavisinva) on defendersource created a ‘kit’ for the OM617 into a defender. When I contacted him about putting one in my 93 RRC, he said it won’t work for a few different reasons. I don’t remember off hand what the reasons were but he did a ton of R&D on the swap. Might be worth...

Great find!

Since you are investing in a D5, I’m hoping you or another member can help me. My sister recently took delivery of her diesel D5 per my recommendation to replace her D4. The silly thing does not have a tow hitch or even a receiver of any sort! It’s a sad day when a Land Rover can’t tow a...

X2 for gx470 Fantastic platform-there is more and more aftermarket support. I found my wife’s a bit over a year ago with 43,xxx miles on it! It was a nanny’s car and was 100% dealer services from day one. Nanny just needed a new car I guess so they traded it in

Sorry to hear about that! That has always been my fear driving my Range Rovers classics! All the countless dollars and time I spent building my projects could be wasted in a moment! Best of luck

As incredible as this build is, it would not be eligible for importation into the USA because of the engine and frame swap. The vehicle must have the matching vin on the frame and the engine must be the same model as was originally installed from the factory. If this were an import from...

I reccomend a fuel additive to make sure the diesel does not gel...I personally use an amsoil additive with every tank but there are other options Second, make sure you have a great battery. I currently have an Optima red top with a rediculous amount of cold cranking amps but I have had my...

Current mileage

Was this post for me or the OP? I can post some

Congrats. I too recently picked up a low mileage (44,000) 2006 gx470 and am very pleased! Hope you enjoy it as much as I am

Wow....glwts!

Thanks again for your input

Thanks for the responses. The timing belt and service has just been done on it is my understanding...One more question...There is a possibility I could get a 2006 GX470 with 53,XXX on it for about the same price...Is the 40 thousand miles difference that big of a deal? The owner of the 2006...

http://www.jaywolfeacura.com/cars-for-sale/used-2007-lexus-gx-470-a32009b-vdp I've been looking for a gx470 and found this one local....thoughts? Though the mileage is low for the year, it is higher than I really would like. This will be my wife's car and we intend to keep it 10 years or so...

I second the cooper zeon ltz's. Had them in 20's on my dodge ram and in 19's on an LR4. Fantastic tire

I have owned numerous Land Rovers to include 5 Range Rover Classics, 2 Disco 1's, and one Disco 2 (an 04 model). I have stuck with my 1993 Range Rover LWB because I was able to legally install a diesel engine and swap it over to a five speed manual...with that being said, the 04 Disco I had was...

I'll be following this thread in anticipation because it is a great option if you can make it work. Good luck

My understanding is that the OM617 won't work in the RRC...It will fit in a Defender...I don't have first hand knowledge of this but I emailed back and forth with Robert Davis who has developed a kit for installing the engine in Defenders and he said it just plain won't work in the RRC. With...

I've got a set of those wheels if you want them just taking up space in my shed ;-) NOT to hijack this thread!
