Extra wheels

Solid body

BAD
you know there always are.
Its making a noise in the front end
I'mfairly sure its a wheel bearing.
Windshield has a crack on passenger side. Passed Va inspection with it last year.
Headliners drooping. Held up with thumbtacks.
Front seats show wear but are covered
Temp gauge sending wire is broke. The squeeze connector is what wore out
A few leaks.. but its 15y.o land rover
Ok so its not perfect i know that. It was a DD for my wife until it made the noise in the front. I work nights and haven't had a chance to fully look into it.
It can be driven but i wouldn't recommend it. Just not knowing what it is. Better safe than sorry.
This thing would make a decent dd light trail getaway toy. I really dont think there's much it would need to be perfect.
I'm selling as my wife doesn't like it. She wants it gone. Plain and simple happy wife happy me.
So that's about it really. Id be up for trades. Just let me know. Feel free to email about the truck or text 540423866eight
Thanks

Bump there is some emphasis on the best offer. Ideally I would LOVE to get 3000, heck i think anyone would, I dont expect to though.. Id be up for trades too. Im just ready to move on, make the wife happy and get her a new ride.
Im really hoping to sell it whole right now. I just started a new position at work and my time has become VERY limited.
Ill cut someone a pretty good deal on it if they do take it whole. Drop me some offers.. Who knows.
As for the lift. The info I gave was from the P.O. It had brand new 33/10.50 TSL Swampers on it when I got it and these were thrown in.. Being a DD I sold the Swampers and put these on it for better driveablity. these tires are damn near new too. I can get the actual specs on them as they are metric radials.
Over all its not a bad truck, if my wife liked it more Id pay the 300 for a new wheel bearing, but she doesnt and I have no interest either.
I'd be checking into this if it were closer, though didn't see the mileage listed. GLWS.
I'd guess the PO was saying the rig was lifted 5" higher than stock - which likely was a combination of a suspension lift (2" or 3") and taller tires (stock was around a 29" tire IIRC; if 33"ers were added, that'd make for a 2" 'lift' to the vehicle's overall height).
Wheel bearings aren't that expensive for these, but you have to know how to do the work yourself and hope the spindles aren't damaged.

'94 Disco - Lots of mods and dents, scratches and scars.
Ive had a few folks get me via pm, email or text; wanting parts. I havent forgotten about you. Im not quite ready to cut it up yet, When I do its getting CUT up.. All parts will be settled and Ill do my best to get with folks that have contacted me first.
Now the reason for this is that I have also had a few folks with interest in it WHOLE. That is my hope, I get home late so time isnt my friend for getting a good part out.
Im hoping that it will actually get worked on this week but time is tight.
IF ANYONE WANTS IT WHOLE, 2000 takes it, the extra wheels, running boards and if I have other stuff that too..
that will be my final price cut. Its what I need and feel that I "might' make if I part it out..
Thanks for everyones interest and questions and helpfule remarks
