XDB: the XD3P B - 5 gears - 2498cc

The 550 also had 4 gears.

The 540 was listed as a 6 seater and the 550 as a 8 seater

Spitfire is correct. I have verified this from old brochures from when MM540/MM550 was on the market. It has to do with the theoretical seating capacity for excise duty reduction and has nothing to do with the mechanical specifications.

Well this is the pics which were taken when the jeep just got back from its hospital!

PS: I really like Desertkings mods on his vehicle. Really suitable option to go from a closed top to an open top option. Should have done lil more research!

Maybe next time

well that would depend on your difinition of a jeep!! my jeep is the 2001 model. the 1st lot of boleros launched straight after the "armada" (i love that car) and hense still is a fuel guzzler and not a d.i. therefor definitely qualifying as a jeep

. I like your jeep too.

also, did M&M sell the 550 after discontinuing the 540 or both were sold simultaneously? which is more preferred among hardcore off-roaders?

there were a few more changes, notably the 550 came with power assisted disc brakes, and as mentioned a slick gear box, as well as a 2.5 ltr engine, that made the jeep get the power it actually required.
