He might be able to bring it back to the US, depends upon the production date, but many of the earlier production date JDM Defenders are eligible for legal import into the US... http://www.epa.gov/EPA-IMPACT/2006/...ay-26/i8260.htm It must have a production date BEFORE 9/1/97, or it will not...

I think they generally have limitations in the form of approach/departure/breakover and ground clearnace when compared to 'traditional' overland vehicles.. That being said, they are great cars (my wife's daily driver is an '05 Outback), that can take a good bit of abuse, and do alot of work...

Since you own one, can you confirm that it actually has front and rear differential locks? I'm assuming that the press has misinturpreted a center diff lock (locking front and rear diffs together) for actual diff locks (which would still be great ont his class of vehicle), but maybe you can...

I doubt they are listening, but if they are, I'd be interested too...

It looks cool with those tires, too bad they are too big for the car to actually run though. From the Lift manufacturer's website... "Please note in tire size. We tested with 235s. They are oversized and will require additional trimming and other possible unknown fit issues for your vehicle...

Wow, eleven pages of photos, and I only saw one Rottie? That can't be right, they are such an awesome breed, so here are a few of our girl. She's getting older now (nine in Feb.), and we just had quite a scare with her (thought she had a pancriatic tumor, looks 95% sure its not that now)...

Well, You seem to be getting a lot of banter about how bad Disco’s are, and all you asked was how rare a 5-speed Discovery is. Rare is obviously a matter of opinion. I don’t know what your opinion of rare is, but I’m pretty sure there are fewer 5-speed Discoveries in the US ten there...

I just took a look at your links, and feel like an idiot for asking if you were new to Rovers, sorry about that, its just the MTL recommendation has been around for so long, I made a bad assumption (I've been running it since '98-'99). Your travels are certainly alot more accomplished than mine...

Hey Nick, I don't know if you are a new Rover owner or not, but MTL recomendations have been pretty prevelant for years. The Specs on Redline's MTF and Texaco's MTF94 are nearly identical.. Land Rover Issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) on November 11, 1998. It read that it effected...

They think they may have located wreckage of the plane about 1 Kilometer from where the papers were found, supposedly going back today.. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,431605,00.html

He must have been like this guy, and 'knew' you can't roll a hummer... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2cZXAie4lU

I've got to say its one of the best looking FJ's I've seen to date, nicely done. Glad to see it is being put to good use as well! I gotta ask though, a Snorkel and a cold air intake seem contridictory (if not the same), how do the two work in unison?

Mike already is, as are several other orgaizations. Also check out Doug Crowther's site, http://www.dividingcreekroverimports.com, he is a Maryland local that has successfully brought a number of '83 110's in, and the buyers seem pleased so far..

Sortof an Abstract... But I like it. I wish I had taken it someplace with a nice background though. Was just a spur of the moment camera phone shot while feeding the ninety one day..

Looks decidedly eastern-bloc like to me, but overall not bad. The interior looks very 'jeep' to me. If the rest of the mechanicals are as interesting as the interior, it could be cool, but i'm 99.9% sure well never see it in the US...

Interesting story, thanks for posting the link. It was a little suprising toward the end though, after all the touting the article was doing of the Unimog's 'super capabilities' to hear a long term operator talk about the Mogs as tempotmental, less than reliable machines? But at least the...

I thought mine was still pretty stealthy looking, most people wouldn't have realized it was lifted unless parked next to a stock one. Maybe I was lucky, I didn't end up with enough rubbing (I did run 1.25" wheel spacers as well) to require any trimming. You are probably aware, but if not, make...

Not to question your vast knowledge, but IMHO 235/85's are the perfect size for a mildly lifted Discovery. I miss my '96, 3" of lift (OME 764 ft, 759 rr) and 235/85 M/T's. Even with sway bars removed it handled beautifully on and off road.. I tried to attach a photo, but haven't been able to...
