One of a kind custom build.  This D90 is not for the Land Rover purist looking for a stock vehicle and a stock ride.  This vehicle will be of interest for someone looking to do serious off-roading or someone who simply wants a unique head turner.  It has an amazing low-range for off-road and it cruises nicely at 70MPH, but the highway drive is not for the faint of heart with no experience driving a modified 4x4.  With the soft suspension, 39.5” tires and no anti-sway bars, it requires your full attention behind the wheel.

This is a 1994 NAS Defender 90 with the following modifications:

  • 1988 Chevy 350 TBI – A full list of every part in and on this engine is available and will be provided to the purchaser for easy replacement should you ever need replacement parts.
  • ·        Axles – Chevy 1 ton with Detriot lockers front & rear.  10 olt front & 14 bolt rear.  5.13 gears.
  • ·        Dana 20 transfer case.
  • ·        Borg Warner T98 Transmission (4 speed manual)
  • ·        Holley Avenger EFI
  • ·        39.5” Super Swamper Irok tires (less than 300 miles on them).
  • ·        KC HIDs – 4 lights above the windshield (retain $2,000 for the 4 lights).  EXTREMELY bright.
  • ·        Warn winches both front & real
  • ·        Viair on board air compressor.
  • ·        Locking Tuffy console.
  • ·        High end blue tooth stereo with sub woofer and amps for front, rear & sub speakers.
  • ·        Equipe suspension with lots of travel.  http://www.equipe4x4.com/
  • ·        Equipe front bumper, rear bumper & rock sliders.  http://www.equipe4x4.com/
  • ·        Equipe skid plates (every skid plate you can imagine or would ever need to protect the undercarriage).  http://www.equipe4x4.com/
  • ·        Beadlocked wheels.
  • ·        Stainless NRP exhaust.
  • ·        PIAA reverse light which is also EDXTREMELY bright. 
  • ·        Hi-Lift Jack
  • ·        Badger full soft top.
  • ·        Land Rover surrey top.
  • ·        Many more upgrades which I’m sure I will think of later.  What I have listed are most of the highlights.

This was a 2 year project  which was completed in June of 2013 by http://www.drakenoffroad.com/.  I have driven the truck less than 300 miles since the build.  It runs and drives very nicely.  Truck passed CT emissions in July 2013. 

No money was spared in this build.  I have over $60k into this truck between my original purchase and all the money invested into the build.  In fact, I could have bought 2 1994 D90s for the money I’ve invested into this truck.

I have maintained a record of every part number on this truck to make it easy for repairs.  The entire list of receipts will be provided to the buyer. 

Thank you for looking.  Please don’t hesitate to ask questions.

Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Jaguar 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.

Jaguar Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump

Fri, Apr 13 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.
