I know right? I looked for a Defender 90 before going with my JKU, I had owned a 2000 Jeep Wrangler and wanted something different at the time, The cheapest I saw was a 1997 (I think) WITH 20K miles for $42,000

This was in 2010. I have seen a few here and there on Craigslist since then but they are still in the mid 30s. That's a lot to pay for a vehicle that has it's own bay at the mechanic shop

I'd kill for a 100" WB 2-door radio truck like this;

I always thought 100" was the wheelbase "sweet spot".

I hear ha! I love land rovers. There is a 100 for sale right up the road from me. $8500 and needs lots of work. I'm certain I will own another, just not sure if it will be a new RR sport or an older, hobby unit.
