Whether i was tearing up a field, blasting through mud bogs, pulling E-350 Vans out of ditches or snow,  This truck was ready.  Whether I was hauling a hundred boards of lumber, camping in the backwoods or hauling a trailer,  This truck can handle it.  I've driven it through feet solid of snow and seen 3 axle municipal snow plow vehicles stuck and i kept going.  If it can be done, this truck can do it.  Loyal to me for 10 years, this Beast of a machine never left me stranded. Heck, Just last week I yanked a 1 ton boulder out of the ground and this truck didnt even flinch.

And with just a little work, this tank is ready for anything.
Now for the bad:
A/C needs a recharge, Steering Stabilizer needs to be replaced (included) Rust/hole in jamb at rear doors, Cruise control vacuum needs leak repaired, Power steering leaks, Rear windows open intermittently, Computer faults cause dash (engine) lights, Does not pass cook county emissions test. Antilock sensors failing, Handbrake sensor failing. Folding seats lock up occasionally. Minor Dents on the hood. Small spots of surface rust here and there.

I will include all the spare parts I've accumulated over 10 years of land rover ownership including an extra alternator, differential, stabilizer bar, steering dampener, Air Filter housing, relays, spare tire cover, and more.

Now get off of that couch and BUY the TRUCK OF YOUR DREAMS.


**i hope you enjoyed the poetic license, now its time to enjoy this truck

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
