Brett's had a few old D2s. My son has driven it for two years and has become good at repairing Land Rovers.

True . . . but it's Kinversand and has a strong 4.6 with an R380 conversion, so building a new truck would entail the engine/gearbox switchover too and we would (probably) lose the color. I take your point that it would be easy to underestimate the amount of effort involved.

This is a great option and I put down a deposit on one for my son's truck. I can see why some folks would think it's too much work to save a D2, but replacing the chassis is worth it to us to save an otherwise good trail truck (R380, ARBs with 4.75 Ashcrofts, RTE lift and bumper, etc.). Down...

Lucky 8 gets credit for taking the initiative to organize an event that got a lot of Rovers out on the trails.

That is a good looking bumper. I'm guessing it weighs about half what an RTE bumper weighs?

Bump for a sweet deal (plus I'd like to clear out the garage).

Yes, I picked it up 2 days later. It's kind of odd to get a vehicle back after almost three years (20k miles later). Roveritis99 took very good care of it. I had bought it new, so am the first and third owner. My 12-year old son sat in it for an hour, pointing out things he remembered about it...
