Looks like the PO was rather meticulous to detail, yes? Miles on the 3.9? I assume it's the original motor - curious the PO didn't opt for one of the larger LR engines given the amount of work he did.

If you have the build records, receipts, etc. from the PO, you should mention it.

Very nice truck!

The 3.9 was rebuilt, along with the trans approximately 10k miles ago according to the PO. Unfortunately, I do not have the records. Based on the mechanical condition and performance of the truck, I believe the information is accurate, of course it's best to come see it firsthand.... Thanks

Also, power from the 3.9 seems more than sufficient in this truck, maybe the headers/exhaust help... the PO was very meticulous, it was a 5 year project for him.

Nice buggy, dude. Rover V8 will more than thing over the rocks just fine.

I'd try Pirate4x4.com if you haven't already -- it's a more rock-crawling oriented site that will get more interest.
