1995 Land Rover Defender on 2040-cars
Shawboro, North Carolina, United States
This is a two owner Defender I have owned since 1997. It was first owned by Franklin Grahm. It had just over 2000 miles on it when I bought it. I have always been very particular with its care. It is #1961 of the NAS Defenders in 1995. It's a great truck, everything is still tight and runs well. I just don't have the time to enjoy it now with young children and busy schedule.
It has the newer style rail top, and I also have a bikini top and bimini top to cover the rear seating area and rear speakers and protect from the weather when using the smaller bikini top. It has the Camel Trophy brush bar with the Rovers North heavy duty front bumper, and Superwinch Husky 8.5k lb winch. Land Rover heavy duty suspension springs have been installed to accommodate for the extra weight of the bumper and winch; this also lifts the suspension 2" over stock. It has two Hella fog lights in the grill and 4 Hella driving lights on top of the roll bar for extra off-road lighting. I have upgraded the soundsystem to a Alpine unit and speakers with bluetooth and ipod/phone capability. It has a powerful Kenwood 900W amplifier driving it's 4 main speakers and a JL Audio 8" sub in the back. It sounds great! It has black steel wheels on now with BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires, but I also have the stock alloy wheels to go with it as well. I installed the diamond plate wing protectors. It has a custom exhaust system, and has a much improved sound without being too loud.
I have original alloy wheels to go with it. It has Hella lights on the roll bar, and over the front grill. It is equipped with rock sliders with jack points, front and rear Rover's North differential covers, thick aluminum Land Rover front skid plate, and a Detroit Locker in the rear differential.

Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.
