The Land Rover Defender has gained a name for itself all over the world as a supremely capable off-roader. With a glorious history dating back to 1948’s Land Rover Series 1, the classic Defender maintains much of its ancestor’s styling cues. However, it’s vastly different under the skin. The Defender name came about in 1991 with two variants. The 90 variant was a short wheelbase two-door affair, while the 110 sported four doors and a longer wheelbase. The numbers do refer to the wheelbase size in inches. So, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 has a 90-inch (approximate) wheelbase and is a two-door machine. The current owner tells us it’s received regular servicing and maintenance and a more powerful engine.
This 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 cuts a fine figure in its white suit, punctuated by its 18-inch custom black wheels. Furthermore, the vehicle sports a partial roof rack, plus ladders to access this feature. We also see that the headlamps have been upgraded to more modern units. The interior of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 features Lecari leather front seats and rear jump seats, plus Exmoor trim. Then, there’s an Alcantara headliner, functional air conditioning, and a custom Boss touchscreen head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities. We also spy some upgraded speakers, as well as what appears to be a subwoofer in the rear. But, in other ways, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 is very classic, with its wind-up windows and old-school analog gauge cluster.
This 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 has received an interesting engine upgrade. Beneath its purposeful-looking hood lurks a recently reconditioned Rover 4.6L V8 engine. This will no doubt provide more power than the turbodiesel engines that this era of Defender came with from the Land Rover factory. Another neat feature is the automatic gearbox in this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, making driving easier for those who aren’t accustomed to stick shifts. Don’t worry; it’s still four-wheel drive and has a transfer case. It also has new brakes and rotors, suspension, and springs.

If there was one machine that immediately represents the art and joy of off-roading you can rest assured that a Land Rover Defender would be a top contender. For over 50 years this British icon has helped push the envelope in terms of exploring the great unknown. Representing the off-road icon today is none other than this 1995 Land Rover Defender 90. With a reported 72,000 miles on the clock, this low mileage example can be yours to experience an authentic Defender experience in all its glory.
There is a dedicated group of enthusiasts who swear by a Land Rover Series, or Land Rover Defender. Produced since 1948, the Land Rover Series became the Defender in late 1990, when Land Rover switched to a new naming convention for their models. While the Series underwent hundreds of updates throughout its life, including during its Defender time, the external appearance of the vehicle remains roughly similar. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is no different; park it next to a 1948 Series 1 and you’ll immediately notice the similarities. But, there are several differences too. This vehicle has done just under 700 miles after undergoing a comprehensive full frame up restoration including a conversion to left-hand drive for easier driving in the United States.
SUVs have changed a fair amount in the past few decades. Many of the once rough and tough desert trailblazers capable of climbing mountains at a moment’s notice have gone soft. Only suited to the parking lot of the local Mall of America. However, this 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 holds true to SUVs of before. With the initial design dating back to 1948, Land Rover knew how to make a rugged workhorse that could do it all.

In 1948, the Rover Company of Britain was gearing up for the post-war period. One of their bright ideas was to create a light, utilitarian and capable off-roader that could be used for agricultural, as well as other purposes. They were inspired by what Willys was doing with the Jeep across the pond. In fact the very first Land Rover Series prototype used a Jeep chassis and a Rover engine. The production version, of course, was Land Rover’s own design, and was called the Series I. As time passed by, it became the Series II, Series III, and gained the Defender name by 1990. Although the vehicle underwent hundreds of changes during its several decades of production, its basic shape and purpose remained true to the original. That’s why you can easily see similarities between a 1948 Series I and this 66,000-mile 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 that’s up for sale today. This six-seat vehicle is thus a great way to explore the myriad trails across America, in a vehicle that’s built for the purpose.

The Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 is a mighty impressive offering in the truck market. What’s good about pickup trucks is that they double as a workhorse around your barn and a weekend off-road buddy. The Chevrolet Silverado is known to offer some tasty factory-installed features. On top of that, the ZR2 version brings you the off-road recipe originally cooked up for the mid-size Colorado ZR2. This version is available in two trim levels: the base ZR2 and the ZR2 Bison. Choosing the latter option lets you enjoy aesthetic updates that add to this truck's cool factor. That is why this 2024 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 Bison is the perfect choice for those who are looking for a balance between work and play with their truck. With 25,235 miles on its clock, this Silverado awaits in Payson, Arizona for its next owner.
The Jeep Cherokee was Jeep’s bread-and-butter SUV for decades, running between 1974 and 2023. The vehicle started off as a body-on-frame design, and transitioned into a unibody type with the introduction of the second generation in 1984. This particular 1999 Jeep Cherokee is a fine second-generation variant that’s undergone an extensive built to turn it into what you see here. As if a standard Cherokee wasn’t potent enough, this one’s got everything turned up to eleven. It comes with just 500 miles since the build and the owner reportedly has receipts too.
Ford’s F-Series full-size pickup truck has been a mainstay of American life ever since it was born in 1948. One of the Blue Oval’s longest-running nameplates, the range initially started with the F-100. From 1984, the F-150 came about as the half-ton variant in the range. Since 1977, the F-Series has been the best-selling pickup truck in the United States. What’s more, you can find ferocious performance variants that can genuinely startle the average muscle car or sports car. Take this 2023 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake as a prime example. With well over 700 raging horses packed in a supercharged 5.0L V8, waiting to be unleashed, this 13,000-mile monster could be yours!
