We have been doing some shuffling around here at Columbia Rovers to make space for an off-road parts and accessories showroom. The showroom features many of the products we carry including suspension kits, satellite phones, bumpers, lights and accessories from Columbia Overland (Bend, OR). We will be adding to the current inventory as time goes on.  Feel free to stop by the shop at check it out!

In an announcement from ARB, they will be releasing their popular NitroCharger Sport Long Travel shocks for Land Rover applications. Previously, these shocks were only available for Jeep and Toyota. Here is the release from ARB:

The popularity of the Nitrocharger Sport long travel range of shocks has been nothing but outstanding with the sales more than doubling the previous Nitrocharger line and still growing. 

This is an obvious endorsement of this great innovative, tough and durable product by the very demanding and discerning off road fraternity. 
As the word has spread around the world, owners of competition vehicles not currently in the range have been lobbying Old Man Emu to expand the range to include other models. Due to the popularity of Toyota, Jeep, Nissan, Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles in competitions all over the world, OME has now expanded the range for these vehicles:
Therefore, it is with much pleasure that Old Man Emu announces the release of Nitrocharger Sport Long Travel Shock Aborbers to suit.

Over the past 18 months, Overfinch has seen a decrease in cash flow, forcing them to find a buyer for the company.  However, in recent weeks, a buyer for the company has not been located, forcing the company into bankruptcy. According to the article on autoguide.com, it is rumored that Project Khan, another Range Rover tuning company is the front-runner to buy Overfinch.

Famous for creating bespoke cars for sports stars and celebrities, Overfinch has worked closely with Land Rover since Overfinch’s inception in 1975. Overfinch was the first to create an automatic version of the Range Rover. Their most recent creation was released last year.  Overfinch collaborated with gun maker Holland and Holland and released the 2010 Holland and Holland Range Rover, which featured two of the gun maker’s guns, and a handcrafted gun cabinet among other features.

We are all proud to have our 110 displayed at SEMA (Largest aftermarket car show in the world) by the current owner and ARB. Brent and Matt were in Las Vegas for SEMA and had the pleasure of checking out the new additions to the 110. The new owner has improved upon an already solid platform by adding ARB’s new front bumper, an Engel fridge, comprehensive sound system, larger tires, and much more.

Thank you to all of our friends and fans that saw the 110 at SEMA (online and in person) and gave us a shout! We appreciate all the support and compliments.

As Portland natives, we value the importance of recycling. Columbia Rovers recycles over 10 tons of metal alone each year. We also recycle waste oil and coolant, copper wiring, and of course all paper and plastic. We believe that doing our part is good, but not enough, that’s where the fun begins. A few Columbia Rovers employees have flexed their creative muscles by converting scrap Land Rover parts into functional art. We recently created and delivered a Land Rover V8 block coffee table to a Range Rover customer. The coffee table comes complete with LED lighting, valves for legs, pistons for the glass support, and even doubles as a wine holder.
