I've always wanted a range rover but due to there fuel mileage and terrible reliability I don't think I can bring myself to buy one. I just love the idea behind them.

I've never driven one that didn't have some serious problem, but yeah, the idea is cool.
I actually put tires on a fellows truck that runs tours in south Africa with land rovers, he says a lot of safari company's don't use range rovers due to reliability and part costs. He and his gf are currently living out of his Land rover and touring the country for two years, his website is landcruiserquests.com super nice people and I even got a picture with them on there site.

what vehicle do you always seen in those African 3rd world wilds? Toyota Hilux. unfortunate, but true.
One of the guys in our SAR group runs an Land Rover Service Shop (www.columbiarovers.net) and he even admits, its cheaper to own a Jeep and the Land Rover is for the rich guy who goes off-road once a year. The one thing I don't understand is Land Rover axles, but my understanding is now the Land Rover enthusiast will "upgrade" their axles with Toyota axles...

I never got that either. I have a buddy with an older range rover. The shafts and ring pinion in that thing are gargantuan. Maybe it's an aftermarket thing.
I have wanted to import one for a very long time. Last year of Solid axle is 1997 overseas. Be sweet to have the newer truck, Turbo Diesel, and the solid axle without importing only parts.
Some day I will import one but the closest place to get one is south of Mexico...(yes I have looked into it lol)
