The asking price for a non running NAS Defender is $1k. I wish....probably more like $10k. :(. I wish I had one to rebuild! Good luck! Too bad you can't take your time and get it fixed!

I've been eyeing your RRC for awhile now on KSL.com. I want a fun Range Rover Classic/P38 to take the place of my Discovery II as my commuter car (so I can actually start modding the D2). The reason I haven't placed an offer on your RRC, was mainly due to the miles. Everything else I can deal...

My favorite classic Land Rover commercial. You should hear my 3 year old daughter, with her Western Utah accent, try to mimic the British Accent as she quotes the punch line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aKGDHm5L0s

All the disco-sport needs is to find a way to stuff a 2-speed transfer case in there and instantly you infuse it with "personality". It must be really hard to get a T-case in the transverse lineup, the Jeep Cherokee's is kind of not "the same thing" either. It's too bad, because these new...

I'm a GMC/Chevy guy and I concur with the full size Ram. The new generation is awesome, complete with drainable water cooler/ice boxes in the crew cab foot-wells. Save up your $$ and get the Ram Power Wagon, then you have your e-lockers, winch, electronic sway bars, and protection all ready...

Many on this forum will lead you towards the 4Runner, because it is body on frame with decent GVWR, traditional 4wd system, and the platform is well known. The Grand Cherokee would be second best, because of the diesel, but it's air suspension isn't cross-linked like the rovers and therefore...

I have owned the 2003 body style and my 2011 2500HD has a similar front to the current gen. With the Tahoe, you are going to take a lot more $$ to make it off road capable. Sure it is body on frame, but the bumpers have to go at minimum. With the LR3, find one with 18"s add a $200 lift rods...

Agreed, and their cross-linked suspension as even made me a believer. That said, the MSN article (the latest as-official-word-as-rumors-get) states they are claiming the Defender will maintain solid axles but ride on a unibody. This would indeed make it different from the current evoques...

I love it! I remember reading about the Disco 1 camel trophies back in 1994/1995. I ended up going the Disco II route and every day behind the wheel is like fulfilling a childhood dream..

If the rumor is true that they are going solid axles front and rear, than a low range will be standard. Solid axles kill your ride and it is more expensive to produce (for road going, not off-roading purposes). There is only one reason to continue with solid axles and it is that you want to...

Love it! Looks just like my '99 D2, except with different door handles. ;). I'm not sure how the cooling passages differ between the D1 and D2, but I'd seriously look at putting a 180 degree stat in there to save your head gaskets! I use the Ultraguage to monitor my temps (I went from 215F+...

Yup, after extensively watching Jeeps go over technical terrain in Moab, the old carbuerated CJs routinely out-performed the YJ. For whatever reason, the leafs on the front suspension on the YJ would "float/bounce" over rocks and would routinely lose traction. I'm not exactly sure what the...

With an LR4 pushing 80k you are STILL going to be looking at bags, compressors, and a cooling system overhaul as just general maintenance as you approach 100k. While I've test driven and love the LR4 (haven't been behind the wheel of an LR3), you could probably be waaaaaay ahead with a 75-80k...

I'll be watching this build. Looks great!! I'm currently using my D2 as a daily driver, and I love it except knowing that I'm putting over 10k highway miles a year and will essentially run it dead. I'd rather have a P38 project/light duty 4wd as a commuter vs. a boring FWD econobox. You can...

As if watching your Ashcroft CDL shifter install video while trying to setup and install my old D1 shifter wasn't enough torture (realizing how easy I could have had it had I just ponied up and purchased the Ashcroft from you guys), now you dangle a free shirt that I also could have qualified...

You will have two filler caps on the power steering reservoir. I've also heard it makes a distinct sound when it actuates, I can't verify that as I don't have the system.

I'm 6'-1" and know what you mean about the seat layout. I have good seating posture, so in the D2 I'm always looking slightly downwards (straight puts my line-of-sight right at the map pockets above the rear visors). That said, I've been a Jeep guy my whole life and actually loved the Disco...

Yea, it was the trade-in value on my 2011 2500HD truck with only 20k miles which killed the deal on a sweet black 2011 L322 with entertainment and surround camera. We ran the numbers and figures 2~3 more years of depreciation and having the truck paid off and we could keep the pickup AND get...

Your stuck with 20" wheels on the SC. I believe you will be stuck with them on the non-SC 2011-2012 also. That said, if you get the 2" lift and put on the larger tires you can still get Load Range E off-road tires for 20's and I've heard good reviews about them aired down. Still not 18's but...

That's funny. I'm pretty much the opposite as you, my exteriors are dark (usually black) and I prefer my interiors lighter. I love the tan, my DII is black/tan. I made the "mistake" of buying my old '02 540i at black on black. But yeah, interior/exterior colors aren't a huge priority, but...
