This my first set of wheels. No DADDY didn't buy me a Range I bought it with my own money and since I'm only 16 I haven't had a chance to do much to it so go easy. The only thing I've done was replace the cracked windshield and some minor maintenance. But, I plan on adding at least 2 fog lights on the brush guard and some better shocks. Leave Comments and tell me what you think. Thanks and happy trails.
Come check out my vids on Youtube. I'll get more up as I hit some trails.

10/5/09 Ok so now I've decided to get something new to make a better exaust sound but I've heard pros and cons about almost every brand so what would you suggest (I'm trying not to break the bank and I would like to keep the factory Y pipe and cats
10/10/09 Just added first video to cardomain.com check it out and tell me what you think
10/24/09 Ok so with the exaust question I have decided to get a Flowmaster Super 40 muffler and just straight pipe the area where the 2nd rear muffler/resonator is and take it to some kind of tip
11/14/09 Finally got my RAVE manual. whew! Those things are life savers still trying to track down where the vent tube connects to the tank The rave manual shows that the connecter is plainly visable but when I get under there I can't see it.
11/15/09 First start after sitting a month and a half. HOPE IT GOES WELL... Tested my battery and saw that it was dead even for a 9v oh well. Well that didn't go so well. Note to self never let your rover set for a month.
11/25/09 Got my License this morning the RRC will be officially on the road Monday
11/28/09 Wow 1,000 Views. I would love some more comments on it.
11/29/09 Found my radio code on an old "Vehicle Recovery" card saved me an awkward phone call to Land Rover Of Nashville about an 15 year old vehicle.
12/26/09 Found out that the source of the power steering fluid leak is a tube between the fill tank and the pump itself.
1/21/10 Got my car back from the shop. They fixed a high-pressure Power Steering hose and the vent tube from the gas tank. I also bought a Optima Red Top to replace my Interstate Mega-tron that was cranking at a measly 35 amps
1/22/10 All is fixed, brand new Optima red top in it. It is finally road worthy. Tagged, insured, and on the road. FINALLY just 2 months late
1/28/10 4-6 inches of snow predicted for Nashville. Maybe I'll finally get to see what she's really made of
129/10 4 inches down and more coming. The Land Rover is the only car that get out and about at my house.
She started right up with about 4-5 inches of snow covering her.
Best 1.99 investment ever
No better sight in the world to a Land Rover
Brushed all the snow off of her before i left.
Good traction from the Wrangler's kept me on the icy roads
Ain't that a pretty sight
2/1/10 So my aunt decides that today is a good day to get her F-150 stuck in my front yard and tear up my precious grass. So I decided to be a good nephew and use the brush guard on my Range Rover to give her a "little" push out of my yard. I like being able to rescue all the paniced Nashvillians out of the snow
