Well, as many of you already know, ... I had an offer on my 110 that was simply more than I could walk away from. Several factors influenced my decision. 1) it would allow me to walk away from the note that was owned on the truck (a hefty monthly!), 2) would leave enough profit to get into another Land Rover cash and do just about any mod I wanted, 3) it allowed me to pay off a large amount of other debt ... including getting out from under a 2006 Range Rover note (I was upside down on the truck).
So, I sold the 110 (no stones thrown ... please). I sold the 2006 Range Rover. Shed $2000K month in payments and $85K in debt and ended up with two seriously nice (both one owner) Range Rovers.
My wife's is a 1994 white LWB with matching white wheels. It is a seriously nice, well maintained truck. Best Part. I hold the title!!
Mine is the Expedition Truck — a one owner 1989 Range Rover (purchased from a fellow Expo member(s) - thanks Matt and Dale!). First, I cannot believe how well preserved the Southern California environment can leave a truck! 2) I cannot believe how rust free and well maintained this truck is
It has 124K miles and the previous owner had done some nice things to the truck, but it was leaning more towards off-road than expedition (IMHO).
Here is the truck as it arrived to me:
It has a RTE bumper with a Warn 9000i winch with black steelies and BFG Commercial T/A tires. The head liner was falling and there are some other minor issues with the truck (mechanically speaking- brakes, radiator needs some work, etc.) And the pitch black/purple tinted window tint had to go (never want to do that again!! Remove ... that is!)
So, I put Land Rover take off new Wolf wheels with Goodyear G90 Euro spec tires (tall/skinny). And removed the window tint:
Next was a extremely hard to find INTI expedition rack from Venezuela. I found it in Florida (on a Range Rover Classic for sale) and spent the better part of two months negotiating for it). Once purchased, I used USHIP to find someone to deliver it. ( a complete bargain!!!)
Here it is with the lights that were mounted on it when it arrived:
Then I changed those lights to Hella 4000's, changed the bumper to an ARB with a Warn 9000 winch and Viking Synth line, added two Land Rover Dixon Bates, front Tow Rings, and two Hella 2000's lamps on the front along with Rovers North (NLA) Limb Risers.
Then I added Rear Lamp Guards and two Vintage Yellow Letter Mud Flaps (kinda my thing!)
I then had the headliner redone and worked for a great deal of time cleaning the interior (which was simply dirty from 20 years of service).
