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. 


Buyer is responsible for shipping costs and I would recommend this vehicle be shipped.

2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs big luxury off-roaders: How they compare on paper

Mon, May 7 2018

During our first drive of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the all-new SUV's product manager was asked to identify competitors that might have been benchmarked in its development. The look on his face was about the same as if someone had asked him to recite King Lear in Klingon. As far as Andreas Hoeppel was concerned, the G 550 and AMG G 63 doesn't actually have a rival, or at least something the engineers and designers thought to compare it against. The G-Class is a G-Class, who cares what the other guys are doing? Well, in case you care, we figured we'd plug the new G-Class' specs into the old Autoblog Comparo Generator 3000 (TM) to see how the G 550 and AMG G 63 compare to the Range Rover and its mightiest SVAutobiography Dynamic model, plus the Lexus LX 570 and Bentley Bentayga V8. Frankly, Heir Hoeppel was onto something as each of these is wildly different. But, they do share some common elements: giant size and weight, ultra-lux interiors, and far more off-roading capability than other luxury SUVs offer and any of its owners are likely to ever utilize. Sad. So enjoy this trip down specification lane, and if you're still left hungry, you can always check out our Range Rover comparison or create your very own comparo. Off-Road Clearances and Capability All the fancy off-roading software and special cameras in the world won't do you a lick of good if your SUV is too close to the ground or has low-hanging body work that'll get easily ripped off. As such, check out each of these uber-SUV's ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and wading/fording depths. In this case, the Range Rover has an advantage due to its air suspension that can raise itself into an Off-Roading height that's a whopping 2 inches higher than the new G-Wagen. Sadly for itself, Lexus only provides figures for its air suspension when in normal height. It could match or surpass the Range Rover for all we know (but doubt it). As Land Rover does provide figures for the Range Rover's approach and departure angles in normal and Off-Road height, you can get an idea of just how much clearance the new G-Wagen has without any fancy (and expensive to fix) raising and lowering air suspension hardware. In fact, its departure angle is better than even the Range Rover's Off-Road height. Bentley doesn't provide any such information despite touting the Bentayga's surprising off-roading talents.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.

Xcar drives Jaguar C-X75, other Spectre villains of 007

Thu, Oct 29 2015

James Bond returns to US theaters very soon in Spectre, and with the action-packed film wrapped, the producers are lending out the keys to some of the movie's automotive stars. We've already seen Jay Leno behind the wheel of Bond's Aston Martin DB10. Now, Xcar's Alex Goy has taken a turn in some of the flick's villainous rides from Jaguar Land Rover, including a very special Jaguar C-X75. The crew from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations team certainly did an impressive job of giving the movies baddies some appropriately nefarious rides. To challenge Bond, they turned the Land Rover Defender into a beast with chunky, off-road tires and blinding-spot lights. They also made the Range Rover Sport SVR even more diabolical than normal with a blacked-out look and LED lightbar. Of course, the king of Spectre's villain cars is the C-X75. According to Goy, most of the ones in the movie use the company's 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, but two are actually original prototypes with the hybrid setup. He gets to drive one of those special examples in this clip. While limited to some low-speed cruising, the coupe still looks wonderfully menacing on the road. Related Video:
