ohh man too bad. There were so few 97s with r380s. mint want to check the build date to see if its THE last 3 pedaled truck to come to the states. That would be some low rent Land Rover history.
I actually think the d2 door cards look a lot worse than the d1 versions. The textured anled grab handle just works. Now to find some manual window roll handles to fit in the spot so clearly designed for them.
