I never thought I would sell this truck, but I'm going to be a dad soon.  Here's your chance to get an amazing Land Rover for way less than it's worth.


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.
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.  Its primary use for me was as a recreational vehicle for trails.
Many upgrades for off road use 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)
Safari Gard front three link suspension
Rovertracks lengthened Heavy Duty rear links with Heim joints
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 front and rear (double cardan)
Great Basin Rovers transfer case gear set for ULTRA LOW low range (a $3000 kit)
Mastercraft Safety seats with 5 point harnesses (brand new as of last week)
Tuffy lockable console with CD deck and USB port
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 window mounts
 Fox Racing Shocks Coilover rear suspension

This truck can go anywhere you want to take it.  It is not like many other D90s out there because I used it off road and I hope whoever buys it will do the same.  Any parts that were not strong enough to survive the rigors of trails like 21 road (this is where I got my eBay name - because of this truck) and Billings Canyon were replaced with stronger parts so they would never break on a trail again.  Yes, I've done Moab in it - you can go anywhere you want there.  I understand that a stock Land Rover Discovery can do the Rubicon trail, so I assume I could do it in reverse without ever turning a locker on in this truck :) .  With this Defender you will be able to drive around town looking like a bad ass, drive it to an extreme trail, do the trail (and probably rescue a couple of Jeep drivers) and drive it right back home.  Most of the friends I used to go four wheeling with trailered their vehicles to and from the trail - with this rig you don't need to.  

Also good:
No cancer!  There is a very small amount of rust in the corner of each door (see pictures), but this is a high desert truck!
Both bulkheads are in good condition - I was going to grind the surface rust off of the rear bulkhead and refinish it as I did the cage and tire carrier, but I didn't want anyone to think I was trying to hide anything.  There is only surface rust where the paint got scraped off, NO CANCER!  The front bulkhead is totally cancer free as well.
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)
Runs and drives AWESOME.
All new turn signal assemblies (for all signals and tail/stop lights) and RH front trim pieces are en route and will be installed prior to delivery.

What's wrong with it?
It's dented and scraped up from trails.  Cosmetically I like it better this way, but it looks like its been off road because it has.  All of the "damage" is cosmetic.  The RH front fender is mangled thanks to my buddy Josh not looking one night up on 21rd on his birthday.  That's the worst of it, but the other panels pretty much all have dents and scratches too.  I've priced out replacing every panel on this truck to make it perfectly straight like the ones everyone has in Aspen and it can be done for about $5000 including shipping if you buy it all from Rovers North.  I always liked it just the way it is, but if you want to make it like the $40k ones for sale elsewhere, go for it.  It will still have all the heavy duty stuff underneath so you know you could drive over a Rubicon or a Hummer any time you felt like it.  The only other issue with it is that sometimes when you're going about 40mph it gets a front end wobble, but this goes away if you accelerate to 50.  I'm sure it would be easy to fix, it just never bothered me enough to look into it.  My guess is that one of the wheels is out of balance.  Also, if you try to drag race it you'll grind between first and second.  It's not a race car, and if you don't drive it like one you'll never have a problem.

Auction Details:
I'm leaving for vacation on June 23rd and will likely be on an airplane when the auction ends.  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.  I'm listing this truck so I can sell it, not to waste anyone's time or try to get ten grand more than it's worth.  I know the body damage is a turn off to a lot of people and it decreases the value of the vehicle.  The reserve is LOW.  

IMPORTANT:  The winning bidder will need to make arrangements to come pick the vehicle up between July 8 and July 12.  I will not be around until July 8 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!

 I know that this truck is worth much more than that, but I have to sell it.

Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Toyota Mirai rated at 67 mpge, 312-mile range The Environmental Protection Agency gave the Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric car a 67-miles-per-gallon-equivalent rating. The figure is for city, highway, and combined driving. The EPA also said the Mirai will have a 312-mile range. The sedan will arrive in dealerships in California this fall and will cost $57,500, though incentives can drop the price significantly. The Mirai will also be offered as a $499-per-month lease. Both come with three years or $15,000 worth of free fuel. Toyota plans to expand sales to the Northeast United States later. Toyota's top female exec resigns in wake of arrest Meanwhile, in other Toyota news, the automaker's communications chief and top female executive, Julie Hamp, resigned.

Jaguar Land Rover releases a vintage-looking infotainment system for classics

Fri, Sep 7 2018

Jaguar and Land Rover have a new option for owners of its older vehicles: a touchscreen infotainment system. Much like the Porsche classic infotainment head unit released a few years ago, this one tries to blend in with its interior surroundings. Five distinct designs of these "Classic Infotainment Systems" are offered in an effort to have an option that fits well with the interior of any particular car offered by Jag or Land Rover over the past few decades. Chrome and black options are available for Jaguars, while brushed aluminum and black are the choices for Land Rovers. The infotainment system has navigation with 2D or 3D maps and Bluetooth audio. Sure, you don't need to stream Spotify in a 1970s Land Rover, but now you can. Jaguar says it'll offer much higher quality sound with a 4 x 45 watt output from the single DIN head unit, but you might need to upgrade those ancient speakers to actually take advantage of it. There's no mention of satellite radio like Porsche's unit offers, unfortunately. It is a radio though, so we get both AM and FM functionality. Jaguar says it's "compatible with negative earth vehicles" (newer vehicles use negative grounding systems) and retails for $1,796 before taxes in the U.S. You can buy and have it professionally fitted at an "authorized" Jaguar or Land Rover dealer if you'd like as well. It's easy to shake your fist at such a device for classic cars, but this head unit tried hard to be an elegant piece — we're still not sure about slotting it into an old E-Type though... Here are U.S. specific model fitments: Jaguar XJ40; XJS; XJ Series 3 Sedan Land Rover Defender 90, 110; Range Rover Classic (93-96); Discovery 1 (94-98); Freelander (97-04) Related Video: Featured Gallery Jaguar Land Rover Classic Infotainment System News Source: Jaguar Jaguar Land Rover Technology Infotainment
