Im selling my NAS 1994 Defender 90 3.9 liter engine with 141K miles, ith an R380 transmission. Runs and looks fantastic. It is my daily driver. No mechanical issues.
This Portofinio Red Defender 90 is beautiful. The body and paint are in great condition. I have spent many thousands of dollars on upgrades and maintenance for this truck.
This truck is by far one of the most well put together trucks I have witnessed. It is a joy to own, nd attracts all kinds of attention.
If you are looking at purchasing a D90, nd this is within your budget, ou will not be disappointed with this truck. These trucks are getting harder and harder to come by, nd are increasing in value almost daily. This is an early 1994 Truck that has the very desirable rear lower horizontal bars for the roll cage.
It is unique, nd I will miss having something that very few have the opportunity to own.
I have compiled a list of upgrades and items of interest about this truck. (I'm sure there are more...I just don't remember it all.) I have also included pictures, s they tell more than words....
If you are looking to purchase and know what you are looking at...you can get an idea from the description below of what has gone into this truck. Good luck and happy bidding.
If you have questions, r need more pictures etc, ust contact me. You can also call 918-210-0651 to discuss the truck. I have video uploaded to photo bucket of the truck running.

The Bads....
Things I just didn't get around to having fixed or replaced that I think need attention.
There is a very, nd I mean very minor ding on the passenger side of the Bonnet. A painless dent guy would probably charge 50.00 to remove.
There is corrosion on the under tub support bar and it should be repaired or replaced. ( These sell for around 275.00, ut require some work to install )
The C-Pillar footings are missing some rubber at the feet, nd the feet have corrosion that has been removed and covered with black paint. (POR 15) I was quoted at 250.00 to have my body guy fabricate the feet and install them on the C-Pillar. (C-Pillar is the Rear Roll Cage Hoop.)
Plastic knob on passenger vent flap is cracked.
