Why is there always someone who says this crap assuming there will be a resale in a time frame that is relevant? Additionally, the V8 is not necessarily going to somehow retain $10,000 more upon resale when they depreciate like Skylab in it's last year. In 4 years they are both overpriced...

I'm more interested in hearing about the "avant" .... ? ;)

Congratulations. Looks like the classy green paint. Nice! I think your post would be better in your own new thread for questions and input. This Journal thread is really supposed to be more about their specific vehicle and its ongoing progress or questions related to the project.

The rear always raises first/faster. I have always thought this is because the rear differential is the lowest point and thus a higher priority to raise sooner but it could also be a simpler reason. You really need to ditch those stupid shortened rods for sake of the Rover Gods. ;) Just get...

My AMK runs frequently but not for very long. It's as if it wants to adjust tiny amounts but more often.

Really? Not by an actual factory benz dealer though, I hope...?

I would also like to hear more. My 2004 has been fine so far at 86k or so but this sounds interesting looking forward long term.

I would not want to take any chances with the diameter regardless of the speed or distance. I am surprised YOU would even consider this as an option at all. Just toss a full size spare on it's roof or some hitch mount. I carry a full size in the cargo space of my BMW 5 wagon! So, you can do...

You're going to have to show some photos of nice Hawaiian trails !

That one was funny. Aren't BSr's fun to watch ? ;) I sprung for my first "real" PC computer in 1999, then a Macbook Pro in 2000. There was basically nothing worth "doing" "on the internet". There was no such thing as a "forum". DW started maybe 2000 ? Too bad I didn't buy $4000 in Apple...

Seriously, really? Maybe it wasn't taken care of either. Meaning, never sprayed underneath, etc. I would always hose my vehicles off underneath after a trip to the mtns in snow/salt because I want stuff to last and not just corrode away. I'd say their price was not reflecting what you saw...

That is goofy but Land Rover doesn't have a nice way to interface either that I am aware of, at least not on the Discovery 3 or 4. Land Cruiser however does have it I'm pretty sure I rear recently. I know on my LR the hitch shop was able to just connect it to the normal things within the...

I think what's on the G is not called "4 matic". That system is on the non-4wd vehicles and is basically the MB version of Audi Quattro, BMW xdrive, Subaru, etc. The G has "4ETS". You can read up on it on the MB website or by searching the web for it. The G's have been similar to the Land...

The only $100,000 + NAS vehicle I would really consider "wheeling" would be a current G wagen and you can 18" wheel on them with 35" tires in stock form or do very simple mods like spring or spacer lifts for 35"-37"

You're an optimistic one .... thinking these computerized machines will not be too obsolete to be worth maintaining in 20 years ;) Obviously a D110 300 tdi manual transmission is the last future proof Land Rover !

You're preaching to the choir! Write a letter (petition) and we'll all sign it ;)

Simple, get the place to put it on a lift and take an array of shots underneath. However, if it were me, I would not say "I'm worried about rust and won't buy it if it shows too much". I would simply state "I want to be sure it looks normal and I just like to see all surfaces before committing...

If Dutch didn't make it clear enough, 2009-2012 does not have anything to bolt said parts onto. There is something to be said for the welded mount to be included in the galvanizing and wax dipping of the frame as well as the precision of alignment. Why do you think you would ever need to lock...

I think you should just jump up to the suspension kit from LeTech along with their portals, brakes and wheels. It's only about $70,000 ;) but it would be so beast!

It just sounded to me like you ideally wanted more space inside. Otherwise I prefer the recent G's over the older Defenders we're able to have here. 2012 G550 in $70+ range is the norm on autotrader right now EDIT: Why 2012? You may not care but 2009-2012 NAS G did NOT come with a factory...
