What does this mean for the other ratios? Is the 6th gear strictly an overdrive?

I've had a different experience -- people frequently make fun of the perceived unreliability of Land Rovers, but I've run into very few people on the 'net or on the trail that have seriously disputed the off-road capability of RRCs, D1s/DIIs, or Defenders. Even in the hardcore Jeep crowd (like...

This guy is selling his 4.6, says it's low mile, for $1500. Even if you paid a shop to install it you'd have a sweet 4.6 D1 for, what, $5k? Maybe 6?

If it's a just-for-fun 4x4 project, and you have the tools/capability to maintain it, then you're the perfect candidate for Disco ownership, IMO. FJ80s are hideous compared to an '04. Just sayin'. :ylsmoke:

Airbags or springs? Probably airbags... You'll hear from two crowds -- one crowd will tell you the P38 is an underrated truck with overstated reliability issues, the other crowd won't touch that truck with a ten foot pole. One crowd is bigger than the other. Take a guess which :sombrero: I...

Not mine, but an interesting, um, take seen in Denver, CO...

For day-to-day use, a 2004 is going to burn a car payment per month in gasoline.

Hey Eric, How thick are your cooling fans? I just installed a beautiful new .5" tube 4-row, it fits like factory -- but I've only got 2.25" of clearance for an electric fan. Think I can cut down the mechanical fan shaft stub?

Let's do it together!

Definitely. The more the merrier! I love writing so I will definitely be able to document the trip to that extent.

PM sent, Scott.

Any word on if this guy got out or not? I want a full story, b_jeepin'!

I'm ready to go -- Scott, do you have a better map than the one you posted earlier? Something that breaks down the different segments, i.e. a point-to-point deal? Just did waterpump and solid-state fuel pump, so I'll just throw on a set of D606s and drag over what I can't ride :sombrero:

When you say the 4WD disengaged, you mean you had it in 4lo or 4hi? Did it pop out or just grind to a halt?

Indeed, here for the captain's career course

Oh, it went great! :wings: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/63032-Currently-stranded-in-CO?highlight=stranded+in+CO :ylsmoke:

Sorry to hear that dude, I know it was a new truck to you

Yeah, that's the one I assumed he was talking about. I guess we're all waiting to hear from Scott and see who gets the nod (?) :sombrero:

You have to machine the heads flat -- you can usually take the head to a machine shop

I wonder about that. If they offer it here in a more reasonable trim package, with a turbo-diesel... would you spend your $35-$40k (assuming it's in that price range... base model LR4 is what, $44k?) on a brand new, never-offered-before-in-the-US diesel Defender? Or a 20 year old, long in the...
