Starts and runs good and I would not hesitate to drive the beastie anywhere. I keep an eye on the temp gage; carry extra coolant and extra oil. It smokes a bit on start up but accelerates and runs out well.
Now for the pieste de resistance -
For an Extra $300.00 you can have a non-running 1988 parts truck.
This Rangie was vandalized while stored in a barn away from my house. The windows are broken, the tires were slashed, and a few gouges were made in the rear driver’s quarter panel. The Rover is mechanically complete except for the alternator and I will get some tires so it can be loaded onto a trailer. I have not taken the time to diagnose what might be the problem. I purchased it off e-bay and the former owner said it was driven with no oil.
Rangie no. 1 is an excellent trail rig. You can drive it to the trailhead; lock the center diff., wheel all day long not worrying about scratches or scrapes, and drive home comfortably at the end of the day.
Rangie no. 2 was purchased to keep no.1 on/off the road a little longer.
