Damn... I hate to say it especially after how much work you did getting it there but why couldn't you have made that offer before you took it back to stock!
:)

[draaronr]

Dave how about a sweet RRC?

[LiveAtTheEdge]

how much cash would you want after a 1997 Discovery xd with safari gard front brush bar, husky 10,000lb winch (never used) JEK stage II, Multilink, Safari Gard Diff guards, rear crossmember, rear trailing arms, front radius arms. New power steering pump, alternator, top end re-build 4,000 miles ago, 85Kmiles. Hasn't been off road with new mods. Just spent 7K with safari gard.

[LiveAtTheEdge]

btw, how many miles on the D90?

[dave_lucas]

The Defender is currently at 79K miles for everyone that has asked.

Thanks for all of the emails, it will take me a little while to respond to everyone.

Nice d-90!! Chris I thought you where looking for one to trade for your disco?

[chrisvonc]

I am, but I am looking for one with mods for the trail, which is what made Daves posting ironic funny to me.
:)

[dave_lucas]

Aaron,
Thanks for the offer. You have a nice looking RRC, but I am going to keep looking for a Discovery for now.

Jack,
Looks interesting….. Send me an email and we can see if we can work something out.

Did I mention I am also in Colorado... Trade you for a week??? Meet me in Vail - I'll even taking you skiing... Come on Please

[Art Vigil]

Brandon, I think you and I should chat also...

<Edited>

After you and Dave talk of course (didn't mean to jump in on your deal Dave :))

[dave_lucas]

Why I ought to :stick

Just kidding :rofl

I am not really looking for a Range rover so feel free to jump on that one Art, although I did see a yellow one the other day that looked pretty sweet.

:hmm maybe I will add a yellow or non metallic red SWB RRC to the list of possibilities.

[dave_lucas]

Hi Everyone,

With summer approaching fast and the fact that I still have not worked out a trade…… here is what I am going to do.

For the next week or two I am going to offer the Defender at $26,300 OBO and include the following items OME 2” lift springs, OME Long Travel Remote reservoir shocks, Rover Tracks HD drag link and Heavy Duty high clearance tie rod that are currently installed as part of the deal.

OME springs and OME LTR shocks cost approximately $1100.00
Rover Tracks HD drag link $144.95
Rover Tracks HD High clearance tie rod $210

If I do not sell the Defender in the next week or two I will be removing the above mentioned items and putting the Defender on Ebay.

Thanks,

Dave Lucas

[chrisvonc]

Dave, just checking in real quick, but look for an email from me later this evening.

[dave_lucas]

The Defender is going to its new home in Utah this Saturday!

Thanks,

Dave
