MASHAALLAH Superb outcome n comparison of the size of the beast sir!! BTW i see that Corolla quite often here!!

Thank you for the kind comments, Zunny. God bless you. And yes...I can imagine you'd see this Cowrolla quite often!

MashaAllah, Phantom has came a long way to reach this Next Level, when she is heading for her first expedition?

The rear wheel is going to be mounted something like this...

Thank you for the kind words, Bash. We should have the Phantom ready by the end of July. Hopefully, I'll be getting a few days leave, too...which would be perfect weather for a family trek to the Northern Areas. Who knows...maybe Gilgit, or the Deosai Plains. Maybe Khunjerab, or Fairy Meadows. Maybe ALL of them!

Jazak Allah, Ali Bhai.

Engine and Transmission. The engine is a 130 brake horsepower, 1HZ, 4.2L, straight six, diesel engine, with a matching 5 speed manual 4x4 gearbox. I was told by the importer, that they were taken from a 2010 70 Series Land Cruiser...although I can't actually verify this. I do have some plans to turbocharge and intercool this engine...which should result in its power going up to about 200 odd brake horsepower. Although, even if it isn't modified that way, it runs fine with an unmodified 1HZ, with altered diffs.

Axles. These have been taken from a 1986 60 Series Land Cruiser...which are approximately 3 inches wider than stock 40 Series axles.

Differentials. A Toyota 7:37 differential has been used, to provide extra lift for the big tyres. Usually, 40 Series Land Cruisers use a 9:37 or 10:41 differential.

Thanks very much for your kind offer, brother. I will certainly bother you, if any emergent requirement which cannot be met in Pakistan, arises.

Thank you for the kind words of appreciation and encouragement!

Fouad.

it MIGHT be, boss. But it will be so much fun to TRY, nevertheless!

not bigger than Unimog and Unimog went all those narrow tracks...

@fouadhafeez... you can add Butogah Pass to your wishlist...

[Basharatu]

I think DeoSai would be a perfect start to Phantom's career after military service :), 4x4s belongs to North and these expeditions are the contribution from our 4x4s towards these valleys, they always help in promoting tourism. KKH would be fun with air down to 15 PSI on phantom, best of luck for the completion timelines.

Great build, it is indeed a monster. I just wanted to inquire where you acquired these huge beautiful tires and how much it cost you. Good jod once again.

Cheers,

Asad

DC had the honour of visiting Fouad bhai for some detailing in the last week, and boy o boy, was it a day to remember! Many of you know this gentleman by the Rig this thread is dedicated to, but get to know him more an youll find a very humble man, with loads an loads of passion! Many of you know how the Range Rover came into his 4litre plus stable....and this was the very rig we had set out to tend to. Ive been to a lota places, met a lota people, but this person just took the cake for his hospitality! Spent the entire day out in the sun with us, watching his SUV transform into the stunner it was meant to be! Fouad bhai, JazakAllah once again for the memorable day! Looking forward to having many many more!

The compounding and the washing!

[vague_one]

Engine bay and waxing plus sealant app!

An wallah the completed 21 picture salute!

[fouadhafeez]

@vague_one

Usman, thank you so very much for the kind words, as well as the beautiful set of pictures of the RR. They're absolutely delicious. Mouthwatering!

As a matter of fact, it was completely my pleasure to spend time together with fellow enthusiasts, and see the intrepid men of DC, work their professional magic. The pictures of the Range Rover hardly do justice to the way it's actually looking, though. All of which, bears testament to your skill, and dedication, and hard work.

Kudos. And thank you ever so much!

[DeeDee]

too good job DC ... loving it MashaAllah looking toooooo good and yummy... thumbs up

JazakAllah Fouad bhai, the Phantom is what I`m looking to get my hands on!

JazakAllah Adeel bhai! Is it possible we get to see the "TU" in some future side by side fun with the "Phantom?" I`m picturing some WILD MUD BASHIN!!!!

In its finished state (with the paint and interior FULLY completed) you're going to have to wait a while longer, Usman...since we're planning for the end of October, possibly. However, it's just undergoing some very minor tweaks and adjustments at the moment...and should be road-ready (without paint) come the weekend, Insha Allah. After that, you're welcome to it, any time.
