Thanks guys. I've been exploring in southern mexico and haven't had much connectivity. I'll post more pics shortly....
Thanks for the comments. Rig, roof and mods holding up well to the punishment of daily washboards, dirt tracks, river beds and coastal paths. Baja was a real test, and all went well. Fixed lots of rattles! More to follow...

3. Just bought it a couple weeks ago. First Cruiser, second off road rig. I hope to outfit this one a little more for expedition.
4. 170k, 7k on the engine and transmission
5. So far, I haven't made any mods personally (except those needed to get it to pass VA state safety inspection), but my favorite is the 4bt diesel swap
6. Just a DD and a camping trip so far, but once I have it at 100% (I'd say it's at 90% right now), I'm taking it to Utah.

No build thread yet - I lucked out and found one with a lot of the work already done. I plan to add drawers, RTT and awning at minimum. Here are some pics I took during the pick-up.

Oh yes. He was a great guy to do business with. While I love Defenders (did a diesel swap and a Utah expedition in my dad's D90), I'm not sure whether his D110 or 40 series impressed me more.

Now that you told me you've serviced the vehicle, I'm tempted to PM you with a few questions...
