A work in progress had it up forsale no interest! think Im stuck with it! 118K km since new judging by the condition of the mechanical components I believe it is true.

05 bought truck oops!  new inner and outer sills/doorposts/fenders upper fenders footwells rear tailgate/brakes/steel lines/Buick manifold Rochester  carb/new oil seals (like that helped)/Hood repaired couldn't get a replacement thanx Richard!/points etc

06 New plugs wires Gm distributor thanx Simon! napa fuel pump (the facet finally expired!) changed the drive train fluids again 20w50? must be British! new fuel tank/fuel lines napa filter switched to Landrover swivel ball grease so I can put off changing the seals sandblasted rostlyes for new tires 

07/08.... 121 000km still truckin on new BFG Mudders nice tires highly recomended took it off road finally !!nothing broke even on the hardcore trails where the jeep would have dumped all of its guts and this things stock! Did some cosmetics to get rid of the "RAT LOOK" used daily for a while till the heater core went pulled the dash repaired heater core (thanx Simon) changed the thermostat reset carb got a bush gaurd for the centre..then the rad got a rock in it after I took the gaurd off?!? and the heater core went at the same time...............parked it!

09 New rad from Safari components dash out again! new heater core installed now the blower motor doesn't work ARGHH dash has to come out again f**k truck sagging to the left ? new springs have to buy shocks used it to pull a 4000lb vw camper up the drive. Fixing the blower motor then its back to work for this old girl got a heavy duty hitch just need to install the springs

PLANNED

Suspension done, get hitch installed with pintle hook

Interior new seats or nice originals if Pauls willing to trade! new door panels

Repaint not sure if I'm staying original or painting it the newer Jeep green or the LR3 green kinda like that colour I dont have to worry about originality since no one knows what it is anyways (Is that the new model? sport I think its called right"????????!)

the 4.6L aint bad, but your right its is lacking a little bit of power. I'd love to put a large turbo diesel or a supercharged V8 in it.
