Short story is I bought this for a shop truck, but came across a 80k mile '99, so building it instead.
Very nice truck, most everything works except tach- not sure about cruise as I don't use it. New headliner, trans service just done- complete flush, nice matching tires, just put on new hood blackout, ready to go- and no lights on the dash!!
Need to sell as I have too much inventory right now, $3950.

Very nice truck, most everything works except tach- not sure about cruise as I don't use it.

Good luck with the sale, Dale. The only discrepancy I see is regarding the cruise control comment, as it looks like the previous owner from New England specifically mentioned it not working when he sold it? Not sure if you meant you just haven't been able to verify it does not work, but anyway I've been looking at D-Is over the past year, so it's nice to see that there are still some lower mile examples out there. Did you keep the ARB bumper?

Description from previous owner:

Smooth shifting automatic transmission as well as easy to engage hi lo range 4 wheel drive with the lever on the floor.. Almost new tires all around on the factory alloy wheels.. This car even has a leather interior.. The rear seat folds down for extra cargo and remember those two jump seats way in the back for the extra kids in the neighborhood..... This Discovery really does run and drive very well.. I have driven it about 80 miles in the past few days and no issues to report.. I would hop in this Discovery and drive it anywhere...

Josh, I am sure you noticed he didn't mention the tach not working, which it doesn't... Likely a bad connection at the alternator- very common issue.
As stated, not sure on the cruise, as I never use it. Usually it is just a bad vacuum line somewhere which is easier to replace them all than locate the issue. Simple and inexpensive- but not a priority when you have too many Rovers already. How about new hood letters to the tune of $50 just because they were a bit faded?
I do have the ARB, as well as roof racks high and low, lockers, axles, winches, etc and a barn full of other bits, but they are not part of the listing- available, yes, but at extra cost.

So, are you interested in the truck- or still looking? I would gladly sell you the '99 I have and keep this one ;-)

Nice truck Dale. If Jonah was not starting college in a few weeks I would be interested... but alas... all the extra cash is going to that. Bump for a nice truck, honest seller and rover expert.

Good luck, hope things are going well for you Dale.

Thanks John, and Hunter!! Appreciate the endorsements guys.

Hard to believe it is that time already for Jonah, ouch!! Things doing well here, thanks- hope the same for you and your family!!

I'm finally trying to just build a simple +2" D-I w/ lockers and such- be able to run over to Uwharrie and club events- hopefully meet you over there one day this fall as well. Then get the 130 finished- tired of looking at it sitting with all the parts painted and spread all over creation! And building a traveling Excursion rig. Such an easy plan, but then there is all the Murphy's Law aspect of life that continues to interrupt- cannot complain though, as we have been blessed with business in spite of the surgeries last year.
Great to hear from you, and stop by again anytime!! Special Jeep parking to the rear of the barn ;-)

Dale, we are up for wheeling and camping at URE anytime! Already scheduled for a weekend full of activity there on October 11, 12, 13 if you can schedule it. I tell you if I had the spare change (every last dime going to the boy's college) I would snatch this LR up in an instant.

Good luck with this sale.

Let me know when you want to hit the trails, seriously I can get to URE anytime.
