This is a 1989 Land Rover Range Rover Classic. It has been meticulously built (as a go anywhere vehicle) for the past eleven years by my own bare hands and through every step of its formation has had the best service and upgrading a car could ask for. I have become a Land Rover enthusiast and learned this vehicle from top to bottom. I like Land Rovers so much I even bought another 1995 Range Rover Classic to play with as well. As I built this ORV I designed a vehicle that is not like any other and will stand out in a crowd no matter what. I installed the best of the best in service and parts on this vehicle. Words can?t even explain how many hours have gone into this vehicle to get it to the point that it is now. It has been my hobby and my pride and joy and I hate to see it go. However, whoever decides to take this vehicle on will get the best looking well thought out Range Rover in the US.

For anyone who has dealt with automotive service centers, they know that when they take a part off to replace or diagnose a problem, the service crew does not take the time to clean internal or external components of parts. They fix only the part that was broken even it is means putting it back with other dirty parts around it. This was the reason I chose to install and service every part on this vehicle. From taking the engine apart to dismantling the dashboard to fix heater core, every part was cleaned and adjusted before refitting all components. So after each project the parts were at new condition when refitted to the vehicle.

This truck will go anywhere the heart desires. With a suspension system with 14? of travel, a large boulder is no match for this machine. The truck can cross nearly any obstacle. And even if an obstacle causes problems or the truck gets stuck, NOTHING is a match for the 12,000 lb winch. Four wheeling at night is not a problem at all either. With 4 sets of lights facing in every direction and the roof rack pre-wired for more lights, this truck lights up like a landing strip in the night. People can see you coming for miles. If a camping trip is your desire, just load up the truck and go. You can take it as far off of the normal path where no one is within miles. And even while you are that far away from civilization, the truck has a built in 350 watt power inverter. It can power a TV, microwave, spot lights, blender etc. just like a normal house outlet. This even comes in handy for concerts where tailgating is a must.

This is not a vehicle for everyone. I will use judgment when selling this vehicle to its new owner. I have put so much blood, sweat, and tears that I will make sure the new owner will take the same care of it.

This description only says about a ? of the information that really needs to be explained about this truck. Please feel free to call me with any questions or for further information.

No, dickface. Its a commonly asked question when buying a used vehicle.



wow you've got that great personality too, you must make your mom proud.
It's a common question for a daily driver not a trail truck dickface maybe you can see the difference once you get your head out of your ass.
