I'm towing home a 1994 Range Rover LWB, white over tan. 125k miles. And so the journey begins.

Good luck! I'm assuming it doesn't run? What's your plan for it?

You are already towing it home, i dont think you have much of a journey ahead of you.

J/k, i think those are neat trucks and will be following along.

Does it have a snow plow?

No plow. It runs fine. Bought it from a Land Rover specialist in PA. Has a DE title so no temp tags. It will need tires soon.

Make sure your money tree is well cared for.

Probably heard this before but it bears repeating something a Land Rover technician once told me: "The question isn't whether or not you can afford a Land rover. The question is if you can afford to KEEP it."

I hope it's a great and fun truck!

Has a good history. Traded in on a much newer Supercharged RR. Already has had the spring conversion. Almost new bilsteins. Having owned FJs, and therefore became an expert in rust repair and birfield replacement, I wanted to give the king a try. My 916 is genesis for the modern sportbike, the RR is genesis for the modern SUV. Just love the looks.

In reply to sirrichardpumpaloaf:

I've known Hondas where that was true. I've spoken to many RR owners before pulling the trigger. Some have had absolutely no trouble. We'll see.

It's not rust free so I will be dealing with that. I'd like to buy a vacuum bag machine to give verneer replacement a try. I have to replace a door handle and repair an electrical connection.

Love the fact that all exterior panels are removable. All of them.

It runs and drives. With new tires, I can drive it all winter.

Located in Kennett Square, PA, by any chance? That guy has some interesting-looking Rovers that I will never buy.

If it's not rust free, immediately look at the rear seat belt anchor points. Those can be very bad and not immediately obvious. Enough of a safety risk, it's worth the look. It the one bolt to the rear wheel well.

Nice. Here's my last one, also white over tan.

I've had a couple. Great trucks. This one towed a travel trailer as well as car trailers (towed my '61 Falcon project down here from New Hampshire).
