Default Newb from canada

Hey everyone, found this site, and it seems like there are bundles of info.

I was into the BMW scene for about 4 years, and then bought a Jeep cherokee as a winter beater, which I started offroading for about a year now. Spend a lot of time and money making it the way I want, 4" lift, 32's, etc etc. Anyway, about 2 weeks ago I bought my favourite truck of all time, a Range Rover SWB.
I bought it blindly off Ebay, and had to pick it up from Florida, I live in Canada. It was quite the trip, and the truck made it with almost no major problems.

Now that I have it here, I have had the chance to drive it on road, but no offroading yet, as I don't have it completely transfered and such.

Anyway, it is a 1990, and I was hoping you can tell me exactly what model.? From What I gather it is just a Classic SWB
It has no sway bars(weird eh), barely any power options(PW/PL/PS/ABSor PB not sure, and power seats.)
Here is a few pictures. It came with a ARB(possibly bumper),and Hella lights.
It needs some exterior TLC, Someinterior TLC, and some mechanical TLC, but overall, for 1400US, I think it is not a bad deal.

here are some pics. Thought I'd check the flex out...

As soon as I sell my Cheorkee, and get all important things worked out,
here is the list of things it will have:

I would like to make it a Camel Trophy Replica, so:

1) LRC 361 Sandglow Paint, or something near that Yellow. Stickers and Black hood insert
2) 2 or 3( Do I NEED to change any driveline componens to suit 3" lift) Inch RoverTym Coils. 4 Pro comp, or OME shocks.
3)2" Rover Tym Body Lift( what do I need exactly to accommodate that?)
4) 32" Tires- Not sure yet which ones. Maybe Super Swamper TSL, or MTR's)
5) Roof basket
6) More things as needed and decided.

Can't wait to get started
