Yes I do! Happy you all enjoy it. I might as well make a thread shortly with some general info, my history with it and future plans. Then I can talk about my weirdo brother and his wrenching too. Here are some other pictures to hold you over.  Outside the garage for the 1st time in 10 years  To celebrate I took the dogs for a midnight drive  If you know the Jeep 4.0l then you should know the 232 is it's grandpa. It fathered the 258 which in turn became a parent to the 4.0l  Cars stone soup fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Aug 18, 2015 |

Could it be... Black Gold? So lavishly appointed there are virtually no options. e: Well, it probably isn't, the hood isn't the right colour.

Is it all original? And has it ever seen a resto? Or did it somehow make it this long that cleanly? Also show pics of the 240z you are trying to hide.

Yeah, it's a Premium. For now, I'm happy with her stock. Maybe an axle-back exhaust in the future.

General Grabber AT's are pretty much my only option. I do like it so far though, and it's miles ahead of my old Defender. I can arrive at work on a rainy day dry in this Land Rover. I also saved £2k from the sale of the 90 and purchase of this.

General Grabber AT's are pretty much my only option. If it's a 7 seater then it'll have airbag suspension on the rear, a leaking airbag or faulty height sensor would explain the sagging. Not sure about the juddering but I know you can get remolded tyres in those sizes for a lot cheaper than new sets and they'll last just as long, ideal for offroad use. If you're worried about squeaks and little things like the windows falling out, just remind yourself that you bought yourself a landrover.
