    Those are cool. Just don't expect it to be like a Toyota reliability-wise. A friend of mine bought a US spec Defender 90 in 94-95 and it was a really cool rig. It never left him stranded or anything but there was always something wrong with it that you wouldn't expect for something with so few miles (like 20K) on it. But as a collector car that rarely gets driven one of these would be really cool. Kind of like the FJ40 I had for 12 years that I don't think I put 25k miles on.

    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    My "wife", girlfriend would say "MINE" I wish I could find a nice one for decent price.

    Nice. The only Land Rover I'd ever want. One of my neighbors is big into them and he has a 2 door, a 4 door SUV, and a 4 door pickup version. They are all very sweet.
