Chassis # XXXXXXXX
Year: 1995
Model: Defender 90 #2910


In November 2000 our 1991 Range Rover GDE burned to the ground on Donner Pass (I-80); this Defender-90 is its replacement. Purchased from Greg Chapel of Sparks, NV., Greg and the D90 had previously competed in the Nevada Trophy a number of times, one year they won the Trophy Course award! The D90 fits into what we do, and even better now.

Left: Todd & Lorie Rueppel used our D90 during NEVADA TROPHY 2002; here they are in action on the Trophy Course (recovery task).

Left: The way a LAND-ROVER should really look, like a LAND-ROVER! Note that all the plastic has been removed.

The roll bar mounted lights have since gone... too much glare on the glass.

Here the D90 leads an "ORE" event through School Bus Canyon, NV. July 2002.

Accessories & Modifications: 
4.6 litre Rover V8 by WCBR; blue printed, Crane Cam, adjustable timing gear/chain set, modified cylinder heads (fitted March 2003).

All plastic has been removed from the front; Stainless wire-mess grill and Series III headlight rims (color keyed) fitted.

ARB Winch Bumper.
WARN M8000 winch.
Bilstein Shocks.
Old Man Emu Springs.
Southdown steel protector’s x3.
All alloy side mounted fuel tank by WCBR.
Lucas 20/20 Driving lights x2.
Hella 550 Fog/Cornering lights x2.
High powered Back-up light.

Good-Year LT265/75R16 MT/R tires fitted.

May 2005: We've since completed reworking the rear of the D90...  it now sports Series IIA type tail lamps in the original locations. The D90 lamps were removed due to rotten wiring connectors at the lamps, caused by water & mud being sprayed on them (not a good set up). Now all wiring is inside the body. Special diamond plate panels were made, and IIA/III body cappings fitted. Looks great! The steel wheels are Genuine LR, powercoated white with new Good-Year MT/R's.
