Not a rover but kinda related. Selling my rover hauler as I just picked up something else that fills those shoes. Located in Middle Tn and could drive anywhere if purchased as long as you can afford the fuel. I can pick up at BNA if someone chooses to fly in and drive home. This vehicle has served me well for several years. Hauls great and even a great place to sleep/car camp if wanted.

4900 OBO
Cash only no trades. I don't need help selling. Title in hand.

4wd works but has to be put into 4wd-low before going into high. I have repalced the 4wd actuator but that didn't change the issue. For some reason it will not go from 2wd straight into 4wd-high but will go from 2wd into 4wd-low and then from 4wd-low into 4wd-high.

Only other issue is the typical hot start issue that plagues these big blocks. The issue is the fuel injectors. After vehicle is hot (doesn't happen all the time) and it is shut down, upon restart you will have to crank for about 5 seconds before it will start. The fuel injectors leak down and the vehicle will flood. I had the FPR(fuel pressure regulator) replaced hoping this was the issue but it appears the issue is the stock fuel injectors. This doesn't affect the way the vehicle runs/drives at all. After it starts the vehicle purs like a kitten and runs great. I just like to be honest when I go to sell a vehicle. If I keep the vehicle this will be the next thing that I have replaced.

SUV is originally from Idaho. 4 years ago I flew out and drove it back to TN. Zero rust on this vehicle. Made the 2000 mile trip home without missing a beat. Pulls down right at 10mpg all day long and around 9 when towing my rover (around 8000lbs trailer and vehicle). I purchased this vehicle to haul my dogs to/from the vet and tow my trail rig around. This is a great people hauler as well. Rides very well and has plenty of power to move whatever you want. Only reason I am selling is I don't have all the dogs anymore and I just picked up a 1st gen powerstroke for towing duties. I have put about 20,000 miles on this vehicle and it has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. I just don't need 4 vehicles. Vehicle is located in Bon Aqua and I am available most evenings and the weekend to show. Please email with any questions and I will get back to you. See photobucket link for pictures and if you would like anything specific just ask. I travel for work so any requests may have to wait until I get back into town.
