Hopefully you get your RRC before that and I can mount that new fancy tire carrier you have been waiting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astateofmike Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Get you RRC before that? What are you getting now Nick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 That would be WHTRVR, Mike - no more new Rovers (still in trouble for the last one, although I think I'm getting the GF more warmed up to keeping it around!). Just getting some final things modified/added... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamO Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm looking for a manual transmission Defender 90 to compliment my current vehicle...an LR2 Something in the mid-90s (ie, a 1995) would be ideal and any aftermarket off-road add-ons are a plus. I'd be especially interested in a quality locking rear-diff. Eg, Nigel's D90 seems like it would've been perfect and fairly priced (if only I was checking the forum then!).

CNelson Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Haha. How funny, my hubby has a red soft top D90 that's a manual '95. I don't pknow if he'd sell it (since we are going to Guam). I'll ask him. But it has a hole you can stick your finger through on the exterior behinds the passenger door. And has scratches on both sides.

SamO Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hi Crystal - I enjoy seeing your D90 in Hollister a while back. Check with your husband and have him PM or email me if he's interested. The questions I ask when purchasing boil down to: - Mileage (i'm ok with higher mileage)- Rust (any paint bubbles? how's the frame, bottom of doors, foot wells? is the hardware/bolts stock or alloy?)- How's the engine? Any mechanical issues?- A/C (installed by dealer? blows cold?- Jump seats in the rear?- Winch or winch-compatible bumper? - Roof rack?- Brush bar?- Snorkel?- Conditions of tires?- (I'd be curious to hear if there are any other common pre-purchase inspections that I'm missing) Anyways, as you can see this is why Nigel's D90 seemed perfect. It has pretty much everything listed above that I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineryrover Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hey Sam, I think I met you breifly at a Morg earlier this year, I was in my old series. I have been a long time D90 owner, and while I don't want to sell mine, I would be more than willing to help you with any questions you might have in your search. You are more than welcome to look at & drive mine if you want to get a better feel for them, and I can show you some of the thiings you might want to look for (or look out for). If I can make it to the annual event, I'll bring mine down, but this is a busy time of year for me. Otherwise, you are always welcome to come up and take a look at it if you want.

SamO Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thanks everyone, I ended up buying this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Land-Rover-Defender-DEFENDER-90-?cmd=ViewItem&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D65%26meid%3D1499893845407674551%26pid%3D100040%26prg%3D1032%26rk%3D1%26&_trksid=p2046732.m2060&item=280941898065#ht_48319wt_1182 They sold it to me for a pretty good price. Just picked it up in Denver last sunday and spent the last two days driving back here. Robb - I'll hopefully see you at the annual event. It'd be fun to check out your defender.

Phil. Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Congrats on the new D90, Sam. I'd love to learn more about what to look for when looking over one just just may take Rob up on his offer someday. I've been lurking on d-90 for the past few weeks and casually looking at what pops up on eBay, but nothing serious. I'd just retired my RRS from daily driver duties (124k since 06) and made the practical choice to get a more fuel efficient commuter car, but a Defender is an impractical, impulse buy I've got a green light for :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More space inside to carry gears; here's a 93 NAS 110 for $55k: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/3217880541.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I saw a yellow D90 on El Camino Real in Sunnyvale, I think it was at West Coast Custom Classic? They had a sweet VW Minibus too. I just sighed and drove on, neither is in my future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil. Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thanks, Ron, but a tad beyond the current budget. I definitely want a 110, but Mars wants me to get a 90. So we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
