Are you ready for anything? NO. Because you don't have this truck. If you're man enough for it, this truck is a zombie killing off-road monster.
Pound for pound, and dollar for dollar, there is no better truck on the market to meet YOUR needs. Designed to excel in the Amazon, the Sahara, The mountains, or the Outback, This truck was built from the ground up to tackle anything, Equipped With a Safari guard steel front bumper made of plate steel forged in the fires of Mt doom, This thing has a winch mount, deflector plate, and a brush guard for when you need to smash through the woods, or the traffic in a hurry. Rock sliders for when the almost 18" of side clearance isn't enough. Oversized off road tires ensure traction in even the harshest mud bogs or snow covered mountainsides. Raised on heavy duty lifted suspension, there's hardly an obstacle on the planet you won'e be ready to tackle. A Steel roof rack fit for the toughest of men. What do you need a epic roof rack for? if you're asking that question, you're not man enough for this car put your gear on top. put your boat on top. put TWO couches on top, Camp on top. And, a ladder to access all that. Does it have four wheel drive? It ONLY has four wheel drive. Four different settings of it. Class IV trailer hitch to haul your tractor through the backwoods, and a winch mount so you can pull all those other wimpy cars on the road out of the snow and mud when they get stuck. With a factory jump seat installed in back, this truck seats 6, So you're ready to take your whole assault team on your next mission. How many head lights does it have? 2? 4? 6? no. EIGHT. So you're ready to light up the night. Perfect for blazing trails through the middle of nowhere, or scaring off your enemies, like zombies, or just leave them on so you can work late into the night. Did you forget to turn all those lights off last night? Battery dead in the morning? No big deal, the truck's got an extra. With the flip of a switch, you can jump yourself. Whether i was tearing up a field, blasting through mud bogs, pulling E-350 Vans out of ditches or snow, This truck was ready. Whether I was hauling a hundred boards of lumber, camping in the backwoods or hauling a trailer, This truck can handle it. I've driven it through feet solid of snow and seen 3 axle municipal snow plow vehicles stuck and i kept going. If it can be done, this truck can do it. Loyal to me for 10 years, this Beast of a machine never left me stranded. And with just a little work, this tank is ready for anything. Now for the bad: A/C needs a recharge, Steering Stabilizer needs to be replaced (included) Rust/hole in jamb at rear doors, Cruise control vacuum needs leak repaired, Power steering leaks, Rear windows open intermittently, Computer faults cause dash (engine) lights, Does not pass cook county emissions test. Antilock sensors failing, Handbrake sensor failing. Folding seats lock up occasionally. As a bonus: I will include all the spare parts I've accumulated over 10 years of land rover ownership including an extra alternator, differential, radio, stabilizer bar, steering dampener, Air Filter housing, relays, spare tire cover, and more. |

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
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.
Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
