Vehicle History
The truck was used by one of the six teams that qualified for the 1999 TReK Finals in Bodega, California. The TReK competition was an inter-retailer competition modeled after the Camel Trophy Adventure. This was Truck #2 in the 1999 TReK Finals driven by Team “The Automaster” from Shelbourne, VT. Unfortunately, the team ended up sixth in the finals, but the event is really about “Land Rover Team Building”…..right? Here’s a video link of the event.
“The Automaster” serviced and maintained the vehicle until 2008. With 66,556 miles, the vehicle went to a dealer in Tennessee. I purchased the vehicle with 68,479 miles in 2010.
Since I had two other Land Rovers, I kept the miles off this one and mainly used it for a few camping trips with the kids. I didn't have a garage at the time, so it sat outside all the time. During that time period, rust got to the floorboards, sills, and lower doors.
In 2013, I cut out the floorboards and sills, replaced them with new steel, and prep’d/painted everything with POR 15. Due to my work schedule, and other rover work, I didn’t have the time to put it all back together.
From 2013 until the spring of 2019, it sat in my garage. I finally had a little time to put it back together this spring.
