  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Mercedes-Benz X-Class Pickup

    Nissan Navara based, but Renaut will also sell off that platform; none of which will be available in the US, at least there's no timeframe. This will just be another ROW truck that those of us in the States won't...

    Mercedes-Benz X-Class Pickup

    I wonder If there are any Ram/Mopar parts?

    North American Defender 110s?

    In the US, for the most part, they have to be at least 25 years old to be exempt from safety and EPA requirements, plus they have to have the original spec engines, so you can't have a Puma diesel yet. US CBP is overzealous about scrutinizing VINs. There are other exceptions for show purposes...

    North American Defender 110s?

    110's were only available in the US for 1993 and they had a unique roll cage. Any 110 you see in the US outside of that model year will be a ROW truck older than 25 years, or a NAS 90 converted to a 110. Also, you won't find an authentic NAS 110 with an auto box. The 110s in those videos were...

    North American Defender 110s?

    LOL! Not sure that's an apples to apples comparison. The Series/Defender has never been known for comfort. I think the better comparison to the LC76 would have been a Range Rover Classic, which was designed for comfort as well as capability. ISTR, he did a Defender - Jeep comparison as well...

    North American Defender 110s?

    There are actually a few ECR trucks in the DMV area, but I can't recall who owns them. Here's an interesting post by the owner of ECR, cautioning people to be careful of trucks advertised as "built by ECR". In the US Land Rover community, especially Defenders, their reputation is sterling...

    North American Defender 110s?

    Actually, the reliability issues are a bit of a myth. If the Rover is maintained properly, they're incredibly reliable. The old Rover V8s were actually a Buick alum block from the 60s and have been used for racing builds. LS swaps are popular for the perceived broader parts support and power...

    North American Defender 110s?

    ECR is one of the premier Defender shops, worth every penny. In fact, they do only Defenders now. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them or engage them to do a resto. ISTR, they have a wait list. LRC Customs is another great resto shop, as is Safari HP. Defendersource.com is a great resource...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    After sitting in my basement for over a year, I finally got off my arse and finished carpeting the cargo drawers. Now, I just need to finish the battery box...Yeah, I know, I need to fix the carpet seam, that's low on the list...rare (almost unicorn status) parcel cover will also come out so I...

    I'd love to show you, but they might kick me out...[emoji6]. They try to keep it simple, so there's not much to it. its arranged by geography, and in the profile, each person indicates what vehicles they have, whether they have towing capabilities, wrenching facilities, spare parts, and...
