Yes I am in Sacramento (Granite Bay to be exact).
I have toying with going over to the dark side for a while. Been in the Jeeps and Nissan Patrols for to long. I will check out lrrforums.com .
Thank you again.

Nope, found it on lrrforums.com. Another one just sold this morning. I think there is still a 95 RRC SWB on there for around $5K... been for sale for a while, he might come down on the price. If you have an idea on what you want to pay and what you are looking for, post it up or PM me. I am always running into stuff.ZooJunkie said:

Thanks for your offer! However, I already purchased an Isuzu Trooper. 
I was in the market several months ago...maybe later on I might pick one up. Can you tell me how reliable that V8 and the auto tranny is? I read up on these older Rovers and decided that an older car might not be in my best interest.
Old car = more wrenching = upset wife.

LOL... my wife loves the LWB!ZooJunkie said:Old car = more wrenching = upset wife.
As far as the engines go... as long as the aluminum block has never overheated and regular maintenance has been kept up, it should run for a long time.
As far as the tranny goes, that all depends on how often the fluids have been changed. It should be fine either way. But the strange thing is that if the fluids have never been changed, it is recommended that you only partially drain it and fill it up with the amount you drained. Something about all new fluid causes the insides to break down if the fluids have not been changed in a long time. Weird I know.

So does it have the air suspension? If so are you going to remove it.

Air suspension is gone! Has an Old Man Emu 2" lift which I will probably replace with a www.rovertym.com 3" suspension lift and 2" body lift. I only need enough room to fit 235/85-16 MT's in there and keep the COG low. By adding the body lift instead of more suspension lift, it allows me to keep the COG lower as opposed to a 5" suspension lift.sacto_patrol said:
