Your right it is a LR4, Gen. 3+ rated at about 300hp and torque. It is a truck engine and the torque would be higher then a car. I wanted a engine that mpg was around 20 which is what I get, and $$. I paid 500 for it, and that's a bargain with low mileage.
Here's a shot of mine pulling the latest addition to the family. It's an 01 sport with a cracked head. It will be getting the work over. There's 3 two doors in the family now. My brothers is a black 99. Mine and his are 5 speeds but I changed to 3.55 gears for towing obviously. The 01 is automatic.
It's kind of like being chased by your evil twin. But seriously, it's the dead max I would ever do again. You have to plan braking way ahead. I have a manual so it wasn't much different than when I was towing a 10,000 pound tractor with a 95 F-150. I was surprised how much power it actually had and I got right around 17.5 mpg towing the XJ. The most I ever plan on towing with it again is maybe 3000 pounds and I'll have the disc brake upgrade done by then.
Newest addition, 96 2door auto with 158k, clean no rust which is surprising as it is in NY.
Looks just like mine except yours has the vent windows, which I wish mine did. I also have the Jurassic park "Classic" rims and a sunroof, otherwise they could be twins
It's been a while. Since these I have bumped it up using a 3/4" spacers and MJ shackles, still haven't taken any pictures of it, small change but makes a difference.

Thats too bad. Its my first sunroof ever. Im very lucky as mine doesnt leak a drop.... now that doesnt matter when you leave it open during a rainstorm... which I keep doing somehow.

Haha my dad keeps doing that, although leaving all 4 windows down as well doesn't help at all either
I will add my 2dr to the club. Gotta say I really like the 2dr.
It is an 85 with 2.5l completely stock so far.
This is it when I first brought it home a year ago, still on the Uniroyal Tiger Paws(lol)it had on it. Had been sitting in a driveway under a tree for nearly seven years.
I repainted the already repainted silver wheels with Rustoleum Hammered Bronze, the slight texture makes them look great and the color compliments the gray pretty well(needs to be repainted as the clearcoat is peeling)
Chasing a bad oil leak right now, but soon will look into other mods.
