I love a RRC, I have bene watching a few for sale posts online. If the wife ever wants a SUV of her own that's what she's getting. I love the DISCOs, we have a friend here with both a 1 and 2. Beautiful rigs, but like you said, alas, I am after a Defender! It's going to be a passion project /...

Hm I guess I should say "followed" not finding their IG anymore

Follow them on IG, pretty sweet rig! Was an Alaskan oilfield mobile office IIRC

GFC is building custom one off stuff lately, they did something for a Defender 130 and a 1stgen 4runner, they'd probably be interested.

Really great price!

Our rig gets about 700 miles to the tank, I still carry 10 gallons of extra fuel just in case. You can never really carry too much of something that you absolutely rely on.

I was basing off new prices of around $90k USD. I think I can have a decent 110 imported for around $20k USD or so from my digging. OM606 swap about another $20k or so. All self done, after all I am looking for a project car, I already have a garage full of newer, more capable rigs. But the used...

Much out of the budget, I can import a 110 and then OM606 or LS swap it for about $50,000 less then a Grenadier, they are super awesome though!

Such a cool rig, we looked heavily at the Adventurer 19RD with a UJoint 4x4 conversion before our current rig. Being 20ft long is a sweet spot! GLWS!

^andy b hit it on the head. How long will you need the AC to run? One of the the newer 12v AC units use around 50a or so, with a 1200ah lithium battery bank you'll be able to run it for about 22 hours without recharging battery. FFIW, we have 1000ah and run our AC a lot during the summer, with...

We're in Fort Collins, so not too far from you. We go down to Baja every winter and would love to bounce around there in a Defender. Doesnt seems like your spares parts list is too long, so thats always good!

We had the ARB dual mounted under the hood and had the air connections for the bags pop out next to the rear tag, it was easy enough to pop the hood, run the line back there and put some air in when we needed. I never noticed any leak down which was nice. I also had the daystar cradles and did...

That was the biggest gripe with our power wagon, how much it sagged as soon as you put more than 5lbs in the bed. We put the same air suspension on our and it was a game changer! How are you going to fill it? did you get the auto compressor?

Great to hear! I am a maintenance nut so I think I can keep it in fighting shape. One of the things I love about older vehicles is how stupid easy they are to fix. I feel confident in my mechnical skills that even if things did go pear shaped out and about, I'd be able to get back home in some...

I’ve owned about 30 sweet rigs over the past 20 years, so it’s not like I’ll be going to my grave without ever having had a cool car (but alas, not yet a Defender!). What might send me there early, though, are my wife’s hands around my throat when we’re stranded at 11,000 ft 200 miles from...
