even better! chop the manifold and run up-pipes out the hood...
Sweet ride. The Badlands are about half an hour drive from where I live and yet I have not yet been.
I know a Range Rover is a luxo 4WD, but this is where it's meant to be.
Great getup. I have to dress down in my Nissan.

Nice job on the tweed! Off-roading for the discerning gentleman-type.
4WD'ing is always a blast, and it looks like you were amongst some fairly serious company, too.
Pick up a couple fox hunting dogs and a pipe .
Sweet! Are you close to the Badlands? I'm only 1/2-hour away too...and i have a 66 Kaiser-Jeep I picked up a year ago(that I need to get put back together). I've never been wheeling before & would like to find someone to go along with.
I'd like to try that sometime. Nissan used to (and maybe still does) run a weekend course. It was surprisingly affordable.

A pipe would be awesome.. Even more awesome if it blows bubbles and is bright green.

Looks like you could use a better departure angle and a LSD in the rear. But nice score. I'd have a blast in that. I don't think I'd know how to wheel in that after lifted Jeeps though, the nice ride, soft seats and electrical gremlins haha.
Great score.
In reply to DrBoost:
Thanks for all the kind words guys. Never thought about the dogs and the pipe I live about 2 1/2 hrs from the Badlands, let me know Pete if you ever want to hookup, we go 3 or 4 times over the course of the summer. Dr. Boost. couldn't get much of an angle, kept dragging the rear hitch on the rock LSD would have been nice though. hoping to trade the tires I have on it for some wornout MT's, should be a lot better for the next trip. You can't see it in the pic, but I am rockin' a GRM sticker on the shot of the rover on the trailer.
BBC
all that thing needs is a snorkel and periscope, and bon voyage!
Bad departure angle? You didn't just press the button on the dash to get 2 more inches height in the rear?
The rover doesn't have the air suspension, it has coils all around
Great deal, epecially without the air suspension, were the coils stock or was there an air suspension setup that someone removed? You probably could sell that and make a few bucks.

It was coil in at least part of 1993, I think they changed them mid year. Yeah when I am totally done with it, I think there is a few $$$ to be made. Not a bad deal, buy it wheel the pee out of it, and then sell it for more than what I paid for it. Is this a great country or what?
