oh crap. i feel so out of it. i'm buying a 2001 Range Rover with aluminum wheels, what will i do:Wow1:
I'm committing 2 rover sins at once. Getting a P38 and it has aluminum wheels.
on a side note, i would like to find some 16 inch wheels, because finding tires for a 18" wheel sucks.
I...
the overflow hose is cracked a little. a small leak. i can stand that. otherwise everything works. what didn't work was replaced with coil springs all around.:elkgrin:
Question of the day. I'm sure i'll piss someone off with these questions. but i'm not a range rover aficionado yet.
I found a guy selling a 2001 HSE 4.6. it has 98K miles on it. its in good shape mechanically. i found a few leaks around the radiator. but other then that the motor and...
i wouldn't trust it. FSJ's don't weigh that much. my commander weighed in at 5500 lbs empty. just over 6000 with all my gear.:Wow1:

the commander would put you through the windshield when you touched the brakes. it towed great as well. i had the 4.7 L V8...
I had one. Wheeled it, used it. look for my build thread. i liked it, but the front end differential seems week along with the suspension setup. i was able to get decent mileage out of mine with the 4.7LV8.
wow. and already built.
the Long wheel base rangies have a lot more room inside then the jeeps. that is why i'm considering those. ohhh man.
Ontario is a bit far away.
i've have a short list right now.
Range Rover Classic LWB
Jeep Rubicon 4 door (pretty sure its too underpowered for me and too small)
Dodge Dakota V8 Limited Crew Cab
Dodge Power Wagon Crew Cab
Toyota 4 Runner
Toyota Tacoma Crew Cab
Toyota Land Cruiser 100 series
The problem i'm running into...
