Columbia Rovers is offering a 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 for one of our local customers. Since this Defender serves as a daily driver, it needed to be comfortable and reliable. Loud, smelly, and gutless are not traits a customer wants to use to describe their vehicle.
Isuzu 4JB1T 2.8L 4 cylinder turbo diesel. Proper HD motor mounts, custom flexplate and exhaust work turned the motor from violent to tame. Rebuilt turbo, complete with a new cassette. Large intercooler and re-tune of the entire system. To accommodate the intercooler, we also had to replace the radiator with a unit that allowed the intercooler piping to pass into the front grill. To keep coolant temperatures in check, a 3000 CFM electric fan with a digital temp control switch was added to the mix.
A diesel is still a diesel, and therefore a touch louder and more odorous than a gasoline motor. Columbia Rovers went to work sealing the cabin from fumes and adding sound deadening to the doors, dash, bulkhead, hood, floorboards, and the roof. We then re-upholstered the headliner to finish off the clean interior look. Occupants are now able to carry on a normal conversation, and if they don’t want to, the Alpine stereo with iPod control and new speakers will keep the peace.
This vehicle is offered at $30,000 USD. The transaction will be with the registered owner, but please contact Columbia Rovers with questions – 503-227-3766. CS@columbiaRovers.com
