Incredible defender, perfect, not sure what I’m doing with mine yet, just bought it and has stood for a few years so lots of mechanical work first but if I could make it half as nice as that one I’d be a happy man
Great job fitting the AluCab roof abs fabricating the interior. How much does it weigh? That’s a massive amount t if added weight before you get to packing it for overlanding.
What a landy!! Right up my street!! Nene overland have one at the moment, BUT, seriously big ££££. Am a big fan of the landies, but being over 6 foot, I do find them a little short on space!!!
It is Amazing, but how much of that stuff would you actually use? I travelled a lot ,way back then , in a very old, very basic, Defender. I was happy if it started and I wasn’t cold at night!
Hello Charles, not as heavy as you would imagine, the new roof weight is distributed across the whole, I used to have a roof tent and weight of that concentrated in one area was far more noticeable. Additionally in the back most of the load area is just empty space.
Hi, love the camper conversion! I have an identical rolling shell here that I am going to strip down, fit a 300tdi and respray before getting it rigged out for camping. Looks like I will need to be in touch with you regarding that aspect next year! In the meantime do you know the colour of this Defender as I would like to use it on my Landy? Many Thanks.
Landy's are great just as long as you replace the engine, gearbox, brakes, electrics, suspension and give it a ton of soundproofing. Oh and blast the chassis and galvanise it.
Awesome. Great build. I would have to say that the Isuzu 4BD1T was engine of choice for overloading, albeit they were only available from factory in Australia. Absolutely bullet-proof and heaps of torque from idle from the 3.9. How do you find the awning in terms of weight?
I never got to weigh it but not as heavy as you may think, the interior furniture is very light, and it handle okay. I did remove the bonnet spare wheel for all uk travel.
@@wright-adventure That's not bad! I'd love to get a hold of a Defender 110 or a RRC. I feel like there is so much character in LR 4x4's coming from a Toyota owner.
I will try not echo the other comments on how wonderful this built is! I was wondering if there are amy similar Defenders to the spec of yours thst are ready for sale . I would love to so a comversion but one ready to take myself and my two furry boys on advenures would be much better. This juat literally appeared on my feed ao i will look for your advenure videos now
Hi thanks for watching. I do have the defender in my recent video ‘sexy beast’ for sale in a few weeks doesn’t have a lifting roof but plenty of other features and things can be added to it such as water tank if required.
Hi, conversions are normally around weeks. the roof will take just a little less than a standard roof Defender but then who does that? > what you see on this one is about as much was you'd want to go.
@@wright-adventure Thanks for the info.. I plan to wind down work late 23/24 and get one of these..used to camp when a teen near the Himalayas and so on..but haven't done anything like that in decades. I was watching another video..is the Landrover superior to the Japanese one they keep talking about?
You should put a 100,000 amps EMP surge protector on it so it run during a nuclear war or a lighting strike. My house will have a 100,000 amp surge protector AND my land rover to.
Sadly we are looking to sell. Many upgrades even on this incredible vehicle we have done - upgraded brake system including stainless steel braided pipes, tow bar with extender to carry bikes and all non spot lights upgraded to led plus so much more. But the game changer was the anti roll bars … Heavy duty to rear and OEM to front and the handling is incredible…Please message if interested !
@@wright-adventure Hi Errol - she is also now fitted with optimil hinges all round but looking at £70k - have spent a fortune on her - but runs like a dream now… Has got really easy to go out for a weekend also..
Also, has been maintained and serviced with upgrades by the guy who did the custom bull bar and winch mountings. Just fitted brand new sand colour Masai seat covers which are amazing and really transform the driving area..
@@wright-adventure The previous owner also spent a fortune with stainless exhaust etc and us since but really now is a go anywhere live anywhere truck. Has had new batteries, all alloys pro-refurberd including cubby boxes plus extensive servicing to also make future proof - it is actually now a bargain but as i say future proof… Last MOT - no advisories or anything.. A grand machine !!
@@wright-adventure wow +wow I suppose if you got it why not use it to have things one enjoys life is not a rehearsal, thanks for getting back kind soul.
@@wright-adventure I completely appreciate what your saying.........as regards to age related mileage except I've never purchased a vehicle with more than 30,000 miles on the clock so would need to get my head around it.
I'm here to steal some ideas for my own Defender camper build, but I think I have to rob a bank first 😉 That Defender is awesome!!
Hahaha
A fantastic video, & honestly the old defenders are so much nicer looking then the new model.
It’s a really nice looking set up.
I've seen a lot of overlanding Defenders but I think this is the nicest one I've seen.
Awesome defender, can see a lot of time, effort, thought and money has been invested into this defender, amazing 👏
You had my attention with the color, no wait, the spot lights, no wait, the awning, shit I loved the thing. Great job, thanks, RickGTI…..🇺🇸
Defender is the best car for expeditions. This car is the key to your journey.
@G. Team a good choice !!!
You said it right at the beginning of the video. That is the coolest expedition Defender I have ever seen. Sweet!
Great video well presented that Defender is a must have for anyone in the market for an expedition Defender
Absolutely amazing, thanks for the tour
Incredible defender, perfect, not sure what I’m doing with mine yet, just bought it and has stood for a few years so lots of mechanical work first but if I could make it half as nice as that one I’d be a happy man
Well done. Magnificent!!!
Great build
Mind blowing work 👍. Great skill 👌. Unique vehicle to have fun with.any were to venture out.
Love this video!
Beautiful vehicle.complete everything
Great video 👍👍👍
Awsome rig
Love it!❤️
Nice.👍
Wow, amazing car
Awesome build, any ideas where to find decent side lockers which do not break the bank?
Great build. The details and Overlanding styling just made this into a beast.
How many Defenders have you gone through inthe past couple years?
Agreed..Best Defender....out there....
Great job fitting the AluCab roof abs fabricating the interior.
How much does it weigh? That’s a massive amount t if added weight before you get to packing it for overlanding.
wow. exactly perfect video of the worlds! what 's the body color of defender? blue?
What a landy!! Right up my street!! Nene overland have one at the moment, BUT, seriously big ££££. Am a big fan of the landies, but being over 6 foot, I do find them a little short on space!!!
Agreed, a bit tight for over 6 foot but they do put a smile on your face when you drive them!
Ein Traum!👍
*’AWESOMELY AWESOME’..!* 😍🥰😘
Lovely ))
Great LandRover, Ours is called Leaky Zahra and Paul @twoheadnorth
It is Amazing, but how much of that stuff would you actually use?
I travelled a lot ,way back then , in a very old, very basic, Defender. I was happy if it started and I wasn’t cold at night!
Very nice but mmmmm all that money and youve still got to shit in the hedge! 🤣
El mejor del mundo felicidades
Love It :)
Dont get me wrong I love the defender it just looks like its really top heavy and really close to the max weight
Hello Charles, not as heavy as you would imagine, the new roof weight is distributed across the whole, I used to have a roof tent and weight of that concentrated in one area was far more noticeable. Additionally in the back most of the load area is just empty space.
Too good
Absoluetly loved this video, is it possible to do the same roof top conversion on a 2001 disco 2?
Not seen one yet.
Beautiful vehicle, our HT is built so similar.
Only the wheel on the hood, this I had tried once, but the visibility I found horrible.
took me a while to get used to the hood visibility, did 4 weeks in South America (another video on my channel) and ended up loving the view./
Take my money!!! Where do I sign? 😍
@5.19 Lmao looks like it's going to fly

Great question as many think it’s a blue but it called Anvil grey. Hope that helps
@@wright-adventure Fantastic, thank you. I am very impressed with your Defender conversion.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ..

If Halfords did overland vehicles.
Well that's beautiful! Do you know what color that is? It's perfect!
Hi, Anvil grey is the colour.
@@wright-adventure Nice! you've got a great rig!
That’s a lot of kit. Two awnings?? Two lock boxes? How much does it weigh - over3 tons?
Errol Wright, 2:08 that smiley face sticker you got on top of your Land Rover snorkel, where did you get it from? I want one for mine.
Wish I knew! The previous owner put that on.
Awesome. Great build.
I would have to say that the Isuzu 4BD1T was engine of choice for overloading, albeit they were only available from factory in Australia. Absolutely bullet-proof and heaps of torque from idle from the 3.9.
How do you find the awning in terms of weight?
Dear Santa....
How much does the conversion cost?
What a fantastic build, & such a nice looking car
Just wondering what’s the weight of the car ?
I never got to weigh it but not as heavy as you may think, the interior furniture is very light, and it handle okay. I did remove the bonnet spare wheel for all uk travel.
Hi hello
Looks beautiful
May I ask do you supply the internal cupboards etc … for sale. Kindest wishes to all
Thanks for the interest, unfortunately I’m no longer building these vehicles there are some German companies that do.
For the first time in a long time, I have become sexually aroused. I joke, but I would love to have that in my life. Subscribed.
Is this engine (2004) 300 TDi Diesel Turbo a green engine? I mean, is it an Environmental-friendly type of engine?
Awesome build! curious how much something like this would cost to build?
Hi, you would need around 35K plus the Defender.
@@wright-adventure That's not bad! I'd love to get a hold of a Defender 110 or a RRC. I feel like there is so much character in LR 4x4's coming from a Toyota owner.

@@sithlordrj8883 I'm a big fan of The Defender but have little knowledge on the other one.
I have the defender 300 tdi roughly how much the conversion all in costs
You should put a 100,000 amps EMP surge protector on it so it run during a nuclear war or a lighting strike. My house will have a 100,000 amp surge protector AND my land rover to.
Do you know where to get the side hatches? And. Do you know if it is possible to retrofit the alu cab roof top tent to my 109 series 3??
@@MathiasDavidsen not sure about retro fitting, probably not, the side locker is from front runner
110 or 130 ? Great job anyways. I would live in it !
110, although I do fancy a 130 they can make great campers!
Where can you buy the bull bar from ?
It was custom made.

Sounds really great now but the price unfortunately is out of my league, I think I sold it way too cheap on hindsight, got 36 for it at the time.

did you make the interior..?
Hi yes I did, it’s flight case material more examples at coastlinecampers.com
What year was this vehicle
1996 I think.
What was the cost of the land rover? And the cost of everything else ? If one may ask.
around the 55k mark for all the work
@@wright-adventure wow +wow I suppose if you got it why not use it to have things one enjoys life is not a rehearsal, thanks for getting back kind soul.
What’s the exacte name of the defender Model? Because if you search for a 110 you ll only find 5- Doors :( I search for a 3 door like u hav :)
Try Defender commercial or hard top as a search that often shows up the 3 door models
Are you open to offers?
how much were you thinking?
@@wright-adventure well I did look over her at the show.....she's nice , mileage is high I wouldn't like to say it's a difficult one tbh
@@namastesteven5655 most of the engine has been replaced or serviced regularly. It is over 22 years old so not bad millage for it’s age.
@@wright-adventure I completely appreciate what your saying.........as regards to age related mileage except I've never purchased a vehicle with more than 30,000 miles on the clock so would need to get my head around it.
Beautiful defender! Looks so good and ready for adventure 👌🏼
no bathroom..... :(
Fantastic but if I may say so.. mine is better lol .
Comment
Seriously only 65 litres fuel tank on an overland vehicle? 😅
That’s the reserve tank. Together there’s 135 litres
That’s the reserve tank. Together there’s 135 litres
Jesus...how much does this thing weigh though?! Beautiful, but looks like overkill.
