...and Roverphiles of Expedition Portal!

My son, also an avid off-roader, turned me on to this site! Very Cool!

My daily driver is a '91 RRC - Great Divide Edition with mild modifications; 4.2L, Safari Gard Bumper w/skid plate & Hella 1000s, Snorkel, 2" suspension lift w/OME coils/shocks, 2" body lift, 285/75/16 AT, diff guards, blah, blah, blah. I bought this car new and it's still going strong with 250K miles.

A few years back we sold our '99 4.6 HSE for our '04 Range Rover (wife's car). The '04 is a Mack Daddy vehicle, but my RRC remains my urban assault ride! I love this car and look forward to sharing off-road adventures with like-minded Roverphiles (and others).

Welcome. This is a great site. You are now obligated to get a subscription to Overland Journal . It is a great read at camp during long expeditions.

Big tires.. Check, Snokel ...check, Shovel...Check, OME...check. Welcome to the expo, good lookin rig.

Did we ever get the 2dr versions of these trucks? Or were those costom chop jobs? (sorry for the side question).

Very NICE!! Welcome aboard.

As far as 2 dr models, there are a few around, but I think all were built before Range Rover were officially imported into the US.

Welcome and I love you RR.

There is a all stock great divide running around here I am trying to find sitting to leave a note on sometime. When my local dealer first got their franchise, at the Harrisburg auto show they had one of the original event trucks on display. We never got 2 door Range Rovers, or Discoverys. The ones you see here are imports. Scott 97XD

Very nice!

At what point did you swap in the 4.2?

Welcome to ExPo!

MUSBJIM,

Welcome to Expedition Portal.

(it's true, you will be wanting a subscription to Overland Journal sooner or latter.)

Welcome!

Thanks guys! I'm sure I'll learn something new/useful everytime I visit this site!

Beowolf - Roger That, on the subscription!

4xLand - I had the usual head-gasket issues with the 3.9 at 135K. So I did what any respectable husband would do - I convinced my wife that it wouldn't be worth the effort to JUST repair the head-gasket/heads. NOOOOOOOO, we needed to upgrade to a 4.2. Kept my 'Man Card' in good standing.

I didn't really fool her, though! Before the RRC, we had a '75 FJ40. Did the usual 350 conversion after I convinced her we needed more power to climb those long grades (plus other mondo power mods). THAT was a way-too-fun car!! Eventually became too rough of a ride for an old man like me, so after 5years of trekking all over CA/AZ/UT in it, we sold it and got the Great Divide.

Peace - Out!

Thanks, Arthur!

4-wheeling in Australia is high on my 'bucket list' (things to do before I kick-the-bucket)! Judging by your pics, it looks like you Aussies know how to 4-wheel in pretty much any kind of terrain!

One of these days...

Never live your dreams for to far in the future, remember that we do not have a "contract" with the Big Boss in the sky.
Australia is huge and very safe place to travel.
I recommend for any Land Rover enthusiast to visit or become a member of AURLO ( http://www.aulro.com/) it is a great forum and fantastic bunch of peoples.
Cheers
