Just as a note: I was interested until I saw that you are asking MORE including shipping than I can get them on Amazon for. You might consider lowering the price a bit.

It would seem to me that if you are worried about being upside-down in your rover, you might wanna practice on a few easier trails first.....

Theres actually a towin in Nebraska, North of Grand Island, named Worms. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=worms+nebraska&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Worms,+Merrick,+Nebraska&gl=us&ei=SMiHTPYY1KOeB4mhyI8L&ved=0CBMQ8gEwAA&safe=on&ll=41.096818,-98.266182&spn=0.015847,0.038581&z=15...

Ya I'd be thrilled with 22mpg at 80mpg with the air on. I don't expect to do 80mph, maybe 70mph tops really. I'm more concerned about simply being able to hold speed at high altitudes and grades. I'm a pretty conservative driver so I should get pretty good economy crossing the great Nebraska...

Eh. I could build my own house too, but I prefer to have somewhere to live for the next few years that would take. I honestly don't trust my mechanical ability to the extent required to execute this. Based on my current schedule, it would be done right about the time they take away my drivers...

I agree, which is why I modified my plans to a non-OBDII vehicle I'd be very interested to see what "modern" V6 with variable displacement and such could be viably put in a D1 (or D2). Modern engines are implicitly tied to their computers and usually to their transmissions at LEAST. The ECU for...

What I would really like to do is talk to ANYONE who has had a vehicle properly titled in their state with a 300TDi and then moved to a stricter state and had the vehicle be refused registration. I suspect some have, but I think its probably more an ODBII issue since many states use OBDII...

I'f you know of any "random" engine legality checks, I would like to know. I actually work for the DOT and have looked into this. So far, the only documented cases of the DOT and EPA getting involved in removing motor vehicles that I can find relate mostly to Nisan Skylines, and a few other...

Some thoughts since I'm going through this (or starting to) at the moment with a 95 to avoid the OBDII issue. Good luck on a 97. Your chances of getting it registered and titled legally vary wildly by state, city and even county. The one solution I've heard for most of the issues is to have...

I don't recall asking if they built many. I was stating that not many people in the USA have TD5's which makes me tentative to run one if I need service or parts in a timely manner. I know that outside the USA a HUGE percentage of Rovers were diesel equipped.

And being in America, I can legally import or buy NONE of them. :( So I'm building my own. I used to look at ebay and try to figure out schemes to get one over here. All of them resulted in a significant risk of losing all of my money and having to spend more to export the car or have it...

So I'm trying to sift and concatenate all of the important info out of 12 pages of stuff. I am going to be converting a rust free 95 D1 to diesel in the next year (I meaning I'm paying someone to do it because I actually want to drive it, not ask for advice on forums about how to repair my...

I'm working my way out in a radius. :) The one in Holland Mi looks like a good deal for the $. Hes already got most of the solid mods I would go for installed, so it would be an engine and cleanup. If this weirdo doesn't call back on Monday, I might schedule a drive to Michigan. Dunno.

The Bentley/Bugatti dealer here has a 96 on the showroom floor with 80K miles for 6,000$. I have to assume that its in pretty nice shape for them to be willing to keep it in stock with million dollar cars. A 95 means I can skip the whole OBDII issue entirely for legal purposes. I know the...

Will prolly get the Milwaukee one, but the guy is squirrely. The truck is in passable shape. Most importantly, the body is solid with no serious rust. The transfer case would go grudgingly into low, but the center diff lock wouldn't budge. The passenger seat looks like it was mauled by a tiger...
