I will shoot it to you straight, this is an old truck. She has rust on the right corner of the hood but now the entire truck is covered in Durabak bedliner, the drivers door and fender are replacements ( not wrecked, trail mishap),windshield is cracked and one of the lights on the rack is cracked. Driver door and fender needs to be shimmed out ( I have the shims) door needs a rewire for the window to go up. I have never had a belt running to the AC and I would bet it does not work. Overdrive linkage needs adjusting. The driver seat does not move. But really, who cares about this stuff?! This thing is a beast!!
Now with the good. It has around 125k miles but only around 1500 ( Rotella oil) on a 4.6 from a 1998 Range Rover with a Crower 229 cam and lifters. Cloyes timing gears and chain. The block was completely broken down and checked for cracks and liner slippage at JB Cook in Memphis. All new bearings installed before rebuild. New oil cooler lines (upper and lower). New alternator.It has a 2 inch lift with Rovertyme coils and Old Man Emu shocks and steering stabilizer. Defender 16 inch rims/33 inch Crawlers from Treadwright with less than 2000 miles, they are hard as rocks and will outlast any mud tire and they look like the old Grip Spurs. New heater core from Atlantic British installed 1 month ago. New front calipers, pads and discs up front, back brakes are good and new discs and pads for the rear are in the back of the truck. Wilderness Rack up top with 4 Hella 500s Factory bull bar up front with 2 huge Hellas not sure of the model. GM ignition module swapped in. Interior is in pretty good shape, drivers and front passenger seats are rough but not splits, headliner is not sagging and back seats look really good.
I have already done the expensive stuff!!! This truck turns heads for sure! Looks like it just came off an expedition. It's as tuff as it looks and it is perfect for a Rover enthusiast that can turn a wrench and is familiar with all Rover quirks! I am embarrassed to say how much I have sunk into this thing! She's muddy, loud and I hate to see her go! And believe me she will go anywhere you point her.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
