just want to know how many 90's are out there?

see bugger all about, and want to know who has what - photos and specs, curious to see what people do and don't to their rigs...as to learn for mine.

i've seen a couple of newies in brissie, and a pommy fella that's moved over waiting for his in customs, but not much else????? as obviously apart from newies they are imports...

post pics and details...........................

haven't found many in the photos thread

ok, so mine isn't a true D90 (chassis is a Series II) BUT, if I had the $$ to buy a 90 and do what I wanted I would have the same thing, except would run a R380 and LT230 (fitted with Ashcroft gears).

300tdi
F250 gearbox
LT95 transfer
GQ patrol diffs (4.1 centres)
ute
exo
3 link coil front, A-frame rear
stretch to 102" wheelbase


There is front panels to go on still, and finish tray

I'm in the process of building mine, it's my dream LR. A D90 with the S11a steel dash, R380, soft top, twin tanks, with a turbocharged 3.9 Isuzu.
In the process of applying for the Isuzu to be certified, since it's not original. Fingers crossed X.......won't know the response until Feb! they have all gone on chrissy leave.

I've got a nice 90 to post up. It doesn't belong to me but I am currently looking after the truck between events. I'm in Scotland and the truck is from Southern Ireland but most of the events are in Mainland UK so he flys across and I pick him up. I am the trucks navi however.

Anyway, how the hell do I post pics on here. Is there a public browser anywhere that can host the pics??
