1988 Range Rover Classic. Modified by the owner of Columbia Rovers for his personal use.

Body: Permanently topless Doors, tub, body all gutted to save weight Roll cage welded directly to frame Bed lined tub Custom pre-runner style bumper with Hella 500 lights Custom rear bumper, welded to rear frame and welded to custom frame outriggers behind rear wheels to prevent flex Hand rolled fenders to increase wheel arch aperture Vented hood for improved airflow to air cleaner and slow speed heat dissipation Each unused circuit traced back to connector and eliminated (power windows, rear wiper, dome lights etc.) to cut down on weight and wiring clutter Critical electronics (fuel injection ECU, etc) relocated from under seats to high under dash Accessories/Modifications: 3” Old Man Emu springs and matched Rancho long travel shocks Stainless Steel extended length brake lines LWB front calipers and vented rotors 15”x9” steel wheels with 33”x12.5” 15 GoodYear Wrangler MTR’s Reinforced (sleeved) steering drag link Hella H4 headlamp conversion MOMO Monte Carlo steering wheel Flat 4 trailer wiring Hella Matador worklamp with IPF 3 position switch.

It’s remarkably quick and agile for its size and for being a Rover. Let’s face it, they are slow and bulky but this one is actually a blast to drive. It’s a work in progress, there is more to be done for the new owner but the mechanicals are already sorted out and it could be driven everyday just as it sits. Selling because we don't have room anymore to store it.
