**Please note that the winning bidder will need to collect the Rover and complete payment between July 9-12. I'm in Hawaii until July 8!**
1995 Land Rover Defender 90 Soft Top #2707.
One of only 1,190 1995 Defender 90 Soft Tops imported. Portifino Red with Black Interior. I have owned this truck since 2005.
Odometer reads 104,000 miles, but is off by about 20% due to gearing and tires. Actual mileage is around 83,000.
IN EXCELLENT MECHANICAL SHAPE! I WILL DRIVE IT TO YOU WITHIN 300 MILES!
OFF ROAD UPGRADES DO NOT DEGRADE ON ROAD PERFORMANCE! VEHICLE IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND ON HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE!
SERIOUS HEAD TURNER - EVEN WHEN THERE ARE OTHER EXOTIC VEHICLES AROUND!
THE BAD:
*It's dented and scraped up from trails. All of the "damage" is cosmetic. The RH front fender is mangled thanks to my buddy Josh not looking one night up on 21 Road on his birthday. That's the worst of it, but the other panels pretty much all have dents and scratches too. Body panels are cheap for it though if you want to fix it up! Check roversnorth.com.
*Sometimes when you're going about 40mph it gets a front end wobble, but this goes away if you accelerate or brake a little. Only happens if you stay at some magic speed.
*If you try to speed shift it will hesitate going into second gear. It's not a race car, and if you don't drive it like one you'll never have a problem.
*I HAVE INSTALLED NEW TURN SIGNALS, RUNNING LIGHTS, AND STOP/BRAKE LIGHTS, AS WELL AS THE RH FRONT TRIM PIECE AND HEADLIGHT HOUSING. ALL LIGHTING WORKS PROPERLY AND IS AIMED PROPERLY.
THE GOOD:
*Runs excellent and is a very reliable vehicle.
*I use it as a driver when I don't ride my motorcycle, so it doesn't get driven too often.
*Many upgrades for off road use (WHICH ALSO ENHANCE ON ROAD USE ie. snow/inclement weather) including:
ARB air lockers front and rear, ARB air compressor mounted in cubby under passenger seat
4.75 Gears, Cryoed
Salisbury Semi Float rear end with Disc brakes (extremely rare)
Heavy duty Cro-Mo front axle shafts
Rovertracks extreme duty steering parts (tie rod, drag link, track rod)

Allied Bead Locks (real bead lock wheels) with 37x12.50x15" Goodyear MTRs (set of 5, the 5th has a TSL IROK in 38x12.50x15 mounted)
Rock Ware front winch bumper with two heavy duty bow shackle mounts
Heavy Duty rear Tire Carrier (no lugs on it, I never carried a spare, just repair kit and CO2 tank)
WARN 9000 pound winch with synthetic rope
Rock Ware heavy duty rock sliders
Energizer marine deep cycle battery (I was not impressed with Optima at all)
Fully welded and reinforced roll cage
Tom Woods Custom driveshafts (propeller shafts) front and rear
Great Basin Rovers transfer case gear set for ULTRA LOW low range (a $3000 kit)
Mastercraft Safety seats with 5 point harnesses (brand new)

Tuffy rear speaker boxes with Infinity Marine 6x9 speakers, Kicker front marine speakers, Bazooka 10" marine subwoofer, 500W Sony x-plod amp
Tuffy lockable Toolbox
Bikini top and two soft tops (both full tops have small tears though)
Quick release mounts for the doortop windows (obviously comes with windows too!)
Fox Racing Shocks Coilover rear suspension
This truck can go anywhere you want to take it. You can do trails or just drive it to the beach or the mall and cruise for members of the opposite sex. This truck gets looks from guys and girls alike!
This truck will give anyone instant credibility. YOU ARE NOT A POSER WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING THIS D-90! Its the real deal!
Also good:
No cancer! High desert truck with a small amount of surface rust ONLY! Nothing is rusting out!
I replaced the clutch 5 years ago, and have only put a few thousand miles on it in that time. All new disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and slave cylinder (genuine parts).
I put a brand new (not rebuilt) alternator in it two years ago.
It will come with a Mastercraft Safety back seat and a spare front outer axleshaft (fits either side, I bought it in case I broke one on a trail and never needed it)
All new turn signal assemblies (for all signals and tail/stop lights) and RH front trim pieces have been installed.
Auction Details:
I'm in Hawaii on vacation right now. I will contact the winning bidder as soon as I can to touch base. I can be reached at jacob.wilbert@gmail.com with any questions or extra picture requests. If you really need to talk to me on the phone send me a message and I'll reply with my phone number.
IMPORTANT: The winning bidder will need to make arrangements to come pick the vehicle up between July 9 and July 12. I will not be around until July 9 and will be leaving again on the evening of the 12th. I will accept CASH, MONEY ORDER, or ELECTRONIC BANK TRANSFER. I don't want your bank account info, we will physically go to my bank and you can talk to a banker there to do the transfer if this is how you'd like to do the deal. I prefer EBT because you don't have to carry cash and I don't have to worry about you canceling a cashier's check.
Good luck, I hope you will give her a good home!
Here's a link to some more pictures, I'll keep adding based on anything anyone would like to see:

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.

Is 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.

Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
