I?m selling my off road modified 95 Discovery.

Specs:
Red with tan leather interior
133,695 as of 9-12
Auto transmission
Factory tinted windows

Modifications;
Suspension:
OME 764 front springs (40k miles on them and no sag measured)
OME 763 rear springs (5k miles on them, installed 4 months ago)
D2 rubber isolators on top and bottom of springs, adding another inch front and back equaling a 3.5? lift.
Rear springs are retained with red rock rover retainers.
Bilstein shocks with 40k miles.
Rear sway bar disconnects custom made, pull two pins and the bar drops away from the axle mounts.

Steering:
Relocated steering damper with the heavy duty D2 OME damper.
Heavy duty front and rear drag links and heavy duty tie rod.
These are all Red Rock Rover parts, when I installed these last year about 10k miles ago I installed all new tie rod ends too.

Armor:
Red Rock Rover heavy duty sliders, very stout and clean looking.
RRR front and rear pinion guards
RRR front and rear bolt on diff guards
ARB non-winch bull bar

Drivetrain:
Removed rotoflex in the rear and installed HD driveshaft with u-joints

Wheels:
D110 LR heavy duty steel wheels (black) mounted with 235/85/16 BFG AT KO?s and matching LR lugs. Tire have a little over 50% tread left. I rotate the spare into the regular tire rotation.

Exterior:
LR rear door ladder
Kaymar tradesman full length roof rack
2 Hella 3000?s mounted to the bull bar
2 IPF 968?s mounted to roof rack
2 hella 500?s mounted to roof rack
2 hella round work lights mounted to the rear of the roof rack
Yakima fairing mounted discreetly under the front of the rack to quite the wind noise (works great!)
Custom tie downs in the storage area to keep stuff from fling if you roll it.

Misc:
Exide orbital gel spiral off road battery
Midland 40 channel CB with 6? firestik mounted to the spare tire carrier on rear door
MagnaCore 8mm wires
Rubber floor mats
Alpine am/fm/cd with remote, it?s one of the higher end models
Sound Stream separates replacing factory speakers
MTX 550 500 watt 5 channel amp.
8? JL audio sub and box
XM SkiFi unit and cradle hard wired to truck with Delpi antenna adaptor
Internal AM/FM antenna, powered and amped, got it after breaking my exterior antenna off for the third time. After I put it inside I never had to worry again.
Magna Flow muffler and eliminated rear muffler

Condition:
The Good!
This truck was always well maintained by me since I bought it 4 years ago. I?ve put about 60k miles on it. Before me it was a lease return from so-cal, so I?m the second owner. I?ve always use synthetic oils in the transmission, engine, cdl, and diffs. The engine doesn?t leak oil or burn oil. I put in about ? qt every 5000miles between oil changes. It gets 12mpg city and 15-17 mpg highway. In the past 30k miles I?ve replaced the waterpump, rebuilt the alternator, replaced the radiator, replaced the expansion tank, and replaced all wheel bearing, swivel ball bearings. In the past year or 7000 miles I?ve installed all new motor mounts, all new coolant hoses, new belts, brake pads front and rear, new catalytic converters, plugs, cap, rotor. In the past 10k miles I replaced the tie rod ends. Truck steers straight and no vibrations from the lift. CDL works great and it shifts smoothly.

The Bad:
The abs has a bad wheel sensor. To be exact I driven this truck for 4 years without ABS, I hate ABS and never wanted to fix it. The door remote doesn?t function, to be honest it was just the remote that went bad and a new remote would fix it, I just found other things to spend money on. The roof rack and rear ladder have surface rust in various spots. It would be an easy fix to rattle can it, but I wanted to powder coat and I just never got around to it. Truck is rust free in the important areas, no door jam rust, no floor board rust, no frame rust. But there is rust on the alpine windows under the seals. The windows don?t leak and it really is only cosmetic. The SRS light is on from removing the battery. LR recommends replacing the airbags at 100k or 10 years, so I never bothered to have a dealer check and rest the light. The door, headlight, cdl in neutral warning, key in the ignition sounder no longer sounds. My MFU had issues and I fixed the issues, but killed the sounder. I?m not sure this is a bad thing but my truck won?t beep at you if you care about that. The paint looks like a 10 year old red truck. I.E. it?s faded and requires waxing every few months to keep a good shine.

The Ugly:
The truck has some dings from wheeling and regular wear for a 10 year old truck. The rear driver?s side fender right behind the wheel is bent in. Tire contact from not enough trimming for the 235/85?s bent it in. It could be fixed, but I was planning on putting on a RTE bumper that cuts that metal away, just never got around to it. The rear bumper is not perfect any more. Not really bent just tweaked, you can hardly notice and was like that when I got it. The rear seat looks great, but the front seats show wear. They are cracked on the seat bottom only and the driver sides stitching looks worn. The front seat backs look fine. There is a stain in the storage area carpet. Like that since I bought it, I covered it with a mat so I it never bothered me. Dash board peeled in the front. Put the LR dash repair kit on it and started to peel again. The true fix is new dash or remove the dash fix kit, trim back the curled dash, reinstall the fix kit. Also one hella 3000 has a cracked lense, so does one of the 500?s. Utah has to many fun dirt roads to drive into the middle of no where, but lots of stones to get thrown at the lights.

Overall a clean truck that is extremely capable. Shined up it looks a lot newer than a 95. Runs strong and easily will roll along at 90 mph to Moab. Why sell? I found a 99 D1 LSE with lockers, gears, hd axles, winch and 50k less miles. I wanted to lock, gear, hd axle and go with a bigger lift to my 95, but this other truck is closer to that point plus has less miles and I can buy it for a good deal, so time to move on to a newer rover! As listed above with all the modifications I want to get $4600 OR BEST OFFER! I might start parting it if I can?t sell it. Make me an offer, maybe we can work out a deal. Located in Salt Lake City Utah, I can meet people with in reason. Email or PM here for more pictures and info, andrewthoma-at-msn-dot-com Attached are some pictures to prove street cred ?.

Thanks Lane!

I might part it if I can't get what I want for it, I'll let you know what's going on. I' rather part it locally if it comes down to it.

So offers any one? (on the whole truck for now)

Andy I may have someone who's interested.
How can I forward this thread as a link directly to the thread, rather than the site ?

Thanks, I'll talk to my buddy about it today. He's in CO,,,and most of the rigs for sale lately have been on the east coast.

After going for a trail run with me last weekend, I think he's got the bug.

Wow, thanks for the link posting.

If he is interested maybe we can meet somewhere. Part of a CO resident deal would have to be for some New Belgium brewing co.'s fat tire, Abbey and of course Tripple. You lucky guys in CO, why don't you share with utahns? Oh wait, thats right I remembered now.

I should also add I have a LR dog guard for it and 2" lower rear shock mounts and a pair of like new hella 3000 driving light pattern. None are installed but I'll install them if I get what I'm looking for.

Also I am in the process of fixing the alpine window rust. My buddy has the rack and ladder and is bead blasting and powder coating them for me. So rust issues will be gone. Also I trimed the dash peel and reinstalled the dash fix kit. It looks much better now.

as soon as I get all of this shit done I'll post pictures.

I could sell ithe high lift to you but shipping would kill the deal. I tried shipping one before and it is cheaper to go to a tractor supply or farm supply store to get one. Out here it's IFA.

$4400 min. as it sits with the rack refinished (doing right now) shock mount relocators mounted, dog guard installed, new 3000's installed.

I'll do less, but depending on what some wants to spend, some of the modification will come off. So say $3500 for the truck without sliders, dog guard, shock mounts, diff and pinion guards, hd steering gear, cb, and the newer hella 3000's (I have them for the truck but not mounted). So the buyer at $4500 gets two sets of 3000's. I'd also remove my JL sub, xm skifi stuff and mtx amp, put some polk sub speakers into the stock sub holes in the door and use a smaller amp I have at the house. But I'd be willing to work with someone. If I got $4400 I'd just start building a new rover from scratch, if I got less I'd want to keep some parts for the next one or to sell them to make some $
