That truly is the best Land Rover conversion I've ever seen. So utterly complete and well thought through. You could make a decent living building explorer conversions for people with more money than skillz.
As I said about the Sainsbury’s van, the planning, thought and execution of this conversion really is second to none. Nothing flashy, every square inch has a reason to be there, absolutely brilliant. Can’t wait for next week!
Wow I mean just wow John your a bleeding National treasure that land rover is I don't even have words to describe it .mate your seriously talented really I really can see people watching this episode and saying we got to get this guy working for us I mean if this is not British ingenuity at its best then I don't know what is you really blown me away seriously the build quality is second to none talk about thinking outside the box. I mean every word you're so talented the both of you don't be surprised if people are telling you that this build is the best they ever seen and I see a lot it's my job anyway much love respect and I'll 💯catch up with you guys next week 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👍👍
You know…you guys may have the nicest bunch of viewers on YT. Seriously! When reading the comments on your channel I start feeling a bit more positive about the world. And as always I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching. TL:DR…and this comment read my mind - Jon, your mechanical expertise reminds me of my Dad. He could pretty much transfer his skills into multiple things and solved problems creatively too. He built a whole mini from stuff he got from multiple scrap yards…he was trained as a motorcycle mechanic but basically taught himself everything from plumbing to building. (And that was in the days before t’internet of course, because I’m getting old.) Mum would have practical ideas about how to solve a problem and Dad would make them a reality. You guys are both hugely talented and seem to complement each other well, and I’m sure the future’s going to be full of rewarding adventures. Hopefully you’ll continue taking us all along with you ⭐️
Wow I thought the sainsburys van was well made… this is incredible. Everything fits so well and the space you’ve made here and there is fantastic , for a small vehicle you’ve made it work extremely well guys , both of your skills put together always equals a quality build 🙌
Oh what a brilliant transformation! Especially loved the sunshade and the pop up roof. You won't need your Arctic gear in Morocco, hopefully!. But the nights might be chilly so cosy duvet! Stay safe and we can't wait to join you on another adventure. 🎉❤
Brilliant video again. I've watched them all, binge watching to catch up. My only regret watching them is that they make me wish that my wife and I could live the early years of our lives again. We wanted to travel but didn't take the plunge. Carry on as you are, you are a wonderful couple and so good for each other. I look forward to watching your Morocco trip. Good luck and safe journey.
Thanks very much guys, me and Jess were talking about this sort of thing the other day, if you could go back to an age and relive life what would it be, it’s a funny old thing hey
Overlanding American here. Great build. Seriously, you guys get high marks for what you have accomplished. My wife was quick to suggest you consider making a Velcro-ed front cover that will seal in the utensils pockets on the back door. As you drive down dirt roads or over sandy areas, the amount of grit that finds its way into your cabinet is remarkable. We have found covering stuff that is exposed makes a huge difference. Can’t wait to see how your shake out trip to Spain and Morocco goes. Please provide details on the amount of back pain a Defender can produce after a long-haul trip. (We’re Jeep people, so we had to get at least one Defender dig in, right?). Best of luck. We’re very much enjoying your channel - and, yes, we have “liked” and “subscribed .”
😂😂😂 thanks guys, much appreciated, when we got out the sprinter into the defender it was a bit of a shock again 😂 so will take a bit of getting used to, thanks for the tips 😁👍
That is the best setup I have ever seen so well thought out I love the tires not super extreme, super sized for looks but effective efficient easy to repair if needed. You both did a great job.
Good morning you beautiful true blue travellers. You blow my mind with your ability to create useful space in confined areas. Thats 1 amazing machine and you need to patent your ideas! Looking forward to your Morocco adventures. Stay safe and stay happy. Xx
That’s a lovely compliment thanks mate really appreciate it 💙

I love it, I was searching for a defender built which includes everything and finally, I found the content what I wanted. Thanks for the video and information. I'm looking forward to your adventure guys!
back in 81 i was on tour, no not whit a general, it was a capt.n whit a helm on his head yelling at my to slow down going downhill the green camouflage colored whit almost no brakes military landrover hopefully you gonna have also a wonderful ride, it sounds like big fun playing in the sand :-)
You guys are so professional with everything that you do. Your defender looks brilliant with all the mod-cons. John your engineering is first class. Can't wait for the adventures to begin 👏👏👏👏
Well done! The only thing I would advise is to make a cover for your cutlery bag in the back. When (not if, but absolutely when!) you get dust inside the vehicle from sandy and dusty tracks, you don't want all of your cooking and eating implements covered in gritty sand. Just a cover with velcro would suffice. Cheers, y'all!
I'm one of the ones who found you on the Sainsbury's Van, but since watched the defender build. Super informative and defo taken a load of tips for our next build. One thing I was gonna mention was something I found for our electrics and not sure if you've come across as I don't think they advertise very well. CTEK. I was looking for something to charge the Leisure battery from the Alternator and Solar and their D250se is just amazing. And even trickle charges your starter battery from solar too!
The sainsburys van was very impressive and I liked that a lot, but as a lover of ‘all things Landrover,’ I absolutely love the creativity and compactness of this within a cool British icon! Looking forward to your next trip! Need to convince the wife we NEED one of these in our lives now the kids are all adults and we can go away on our own😂
I'd get that out of the country asap before the defence secretary views this video and requisition it for the UK army by claiming he's just reinvented 'The Tank' 😎🤣
“Plonker Pants”, hilarious 🤣. What a brilliant phrase! That’s a T-Shirt/Mug design when you start your merch store. Thanks for the video. Cheers, Colin.
Yep no worries I’ll drop the link below www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165579767608?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3TNWCy08Q7y&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=h77jMQulRBK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
You two just keep getting better and better - and so do your builds and fit outs. So looking forward to the Morocco adventure - thank you for sharing your lives with the world.
The Landy is like a Tardis you have certainly put a lot of thought into the design. Let's hope Postman Pat delivers the new mattress see you both next week
Thank you doing your videos i really look forward to a Saturday to watch them, i was very upset when John hurt himself the other week i could not stop thinking about him and was in tears (yes i'm a grow male adult) , hope you have fun and keep us updated, and get some merch out soon please , thank you for keeping us entertained and look after yourself's, love to both of you, Dunc x.
Hi from 🇫🇷 👋 I have to say that’s a badass build with a lot of great ideas that I have never seen on other Defender builds on YT. The final result looks so clean. Well done!! Can’t wait to follow your next adventure.
Hi guys never realised beatiful the defender is can’t wait for Morocco you won’t be that far from me I am in Tenerife can’t wait for this next series keep smiling
I've seen two on you tube after looking at a lot seen another, which is similar quality to yours tho like I said your use of space etc is exceptional the other one is an old defender ambulance to be fair!actually following your page now watching your old fire engine build also looking good can't wait to see it finished
Love your Defender build Its so compact and has almost everything For me it's missing an indoor shower but love it anyway! Have a great week and see you Saturday Love and hugs Sharon ❤
All I want to know is, when is Jons; cookbook coming out we both love a pot noodle and burnt toast is a must in our household too. See you both next week xx
I had watched the conversion vlogs, but since getting caught up in your awesome sainsburys van I had forgotten just how stunning the defender is. Jon - master craftsman, yes yes, likes to get naked and wear Jess’s clothes and inform us of all things bungee. But Jon, you are extremely talented. Not forgetting General Princess Guns of steel pissy pants awesome Aussie gal Jess. Immense talent, skill and the best Aussie RUclips has. Can’t wait for your next adventures. True Blue Travellers is the best RUclips channel of this type. Russ
Arrgg just catching up after having a horrendous time! This conversion is amazingly well thought out, and OF COURSE well executed 👏👏 I seriously need you guys to change some aspects in my van 😍
@@truebluetravellers thanks, the biggest problem apart from injury, won't now be sorted until possibly Nov or beyond 😳 But means I'm still able to drive this year at least - earning to others NEVER use Esure!!!!
I saw the first tour and watched this one as well because I'm enthralled!!!!! I just love this build and can't wait to see your Moroccan adventures in it! You two have such vision and talent!!! ❤😊
Wow what a cracking conversion that is.😍 You are both very talented at everything that you do, I'm looking forward to seeing you put this Beast through its paces 👍🫶
That is really really nice but I would have been tempted to try to make an internal locking mechanism for the roof so if you arrive and it's chucking it down you could unlock it while inside and push it up. Brilliant design.
The ingenuity and execution of that build was just astounding, I know you will give it the expedition it deserves. Really looking forward to seeing the results, after such a great Arctic trip expectations will be high ( no pressure) 💕
So after watching this, and your Sainsbury’s van build, I am now going back and watching from the start in Oz! I absolutely love you guys and following your adventures!! ❤ keep it up 🎉
Impressive Defender guys. I followed your build on it and will go back and do it again, you must be well chuffed with what you`ve done to her. Roll on next week.
You 2 are amazing, I’m on sick at minute with slipped disc, so I watched you from your very 1st vlog….. you both are my Saturday morning treat…. Can’t wait for more of your adventures ❤
Nice work on the Landrover, and good to see y'all back in sunshine and some trees. I honestly stopped watching the Arctic episodes as I couldn't take looking at all of that snow. Looking forward to your Morocco adventures! 😎👍
I have a little adventure story for you.Long ago when I was 23 years old and in the army in South Africa.I was driving along a gravel road in a long wheelbase Land Rover which was completely open.All we had was the windscreen no canopy .This was in Northern Angola during the Civil War.Anyway here I am driving along with two other mates (And we had already driven miles and miles that day) When suddenly the left rear wheel and half shaft came off the vehicle and flew into the bush.So we are stuck as other traffic along that road was maybe one vehicle every four or five hours.But there's a small army base not far away but it was about one to one and a half hours drive.(You couldn't just walk back to it) So now we sat the three of us in the middle of Fuck All with my rifle and two 9mm pistols.(But I had plenty of ammo for my rifle if needed) Anyway after about three hours a truck came along and said he would call at the small army base and tell them to send a recovery truck.So a while later the recovery truck arrived and took us all back to the small base.They had a mechanic who repaired our Land Rover and the next morning we were on our way. Hope you like my little adventure.But the moral of the story is as much as you can "Be Prepared".
We love hearing stories like this as we try and picture them in our heads. One of those stories that’s shit at the time but an amazing adventure to look back on. Glad you made it out ok 👍
A nice defender guys. One thing I noticed though is you have all the storage on the driver's side of the vehicle. And all the water equipment. Just be careful when tackling obstacles that make the body rock. But it is a nice set up you have. I'm not knocking it. 👌🏼👍🏼.
Can't wait to see it in action in Morrocco and Spain! You guys are amazing - that's a really fabulous,. professional build and so well thought out. Hope you get the bits you need as my Saturday mornings wouldn't be the same!
Amazing vid as always. Weve had a true blue week this week, we both watched your videos from the very first till now , and we can both say you have become more confident infront of the camera. So envious of your australia trip. Thank you for keeping us entertained every week . And stay safe on your next trip x x x
Love this conversion you are both very talented and I am looking forward to seeing your next journey as I loved your last series especially the photography.
Thanks so much. We’re a bit gutted because we won’t be able to use the drone in Morocco, I did try an get a licence but unfortunately a no go. Might have to sit on the roof rack 😂😂😂
I m so stoked ! I think this is the most complet and well think Land Rover build I've seen. It gives me so much idea for my build. Keep up the good works ! I cant wait to see whats next ! 😁
😊 Lovely vlog again. You two think if absolutely everything..." no space left empty" you make the most of every inch of space. Only sad thing..no out takes.....take care U2...Eileen
You made me want an alu cab pop Defender even more now! I found you guys because of that build! Will do a re-run of that. The snorkel will actually help with cleaner air on sandy dunes, and will be a good safety when wading even knee high deep! Not ideal to get hydrolocked in a river 🌊
That truly is the best Land Rover conversion I've ever seen. So utterly complete and well thought through. You could make a decent living building explorer conversions for people with more money than skillz.
Thanks very much 👍👍
It's amazing how you have fitted everything in, without making it look cramped. I'm looking forward to the Morocco adventure. Great video guys.
Thanks very much mate 👍
The design and build is pure genius.
Thanks very much that’s ever nice of you to say💙
Saturday morning again, J+J on the Computer and a nice Cup of Coffee.
Nice way to start the weekend, seeya next week guys 😘
Thanks Mike 💙
You make practical and beautifully finished expedition vehicles.
Great videos as well.

Thanks very much nick im dead proud of that one ☺️

Thanks very much Lee 😁💙

This is the best build I’ve ever seen. ❤ Wow! You two are living a dream. Just amazing! 🤩
Wow that’s a huge compliment 💙 thanks very much we are incredibly lucky 💙
For me, the best Overland 110 ht.
it will be an inspiration for my old one from 1996. Many thanks!!
Cheers mate good luck with your build 👍👍
What a great vehicle.
It amazes me how you manage to fit so much into the defender.
Keep up the great videos. Enjoy your adventures ❤
Cheers mate, hopefully it all works how we hoped 👍👍💙
This is the best use of the space I've ever seen in a vehicle of this size!! Love it!!! I'm going to watch the whole build now!
That’s a lovely compliment thanks mate really appreciate it 💙

I shall tell her you guys approve and you know what your talking about 😂
Awesome design and fitting on this Land Rover, I love that the bed lifts up for full height standing...genius. Look forward to your adventures in it.😀
Thanks so much, can’t take credit for the roof design, it’s made by Alu Cab, they are pricey but an amazing bit of engineering

Absolutely brilliant, can’t believe how much gear you got into that defender, well done !!
Thanks 😊
love the build. only thing I'd change is the location of the safe to somewhere more discreet
Thanks 👍
Fascinating to watch.
That’s seriously impressive what you’ve both done with that Land Rover!👏
So looking forward to the Morocco trip.😎🇲🇦☀️
Thanks mate 👍
Can’t wait to see you travelling again and see the world through you’re eyes 😃 Big cheers from Norway

Guess what, just ordered the rear door table, seems like a good deal compared to other fits 👍
Thanks very much mate 👍
Nice tour and definitely worth anyone watching the full build especially fitting the roof box and addition of the extra struts and dampers 😃👍🏻🙌
Thanks mate much appreciated
Best Defender camper build out there. You've done an amazing job for not a huge amount of money. Looking forward to watching your travels in it !

That is really really nice but I would have been tempted to try to make an internal locking mechanism for the roof so if you arrive and it's chucking it down you could unlock it while inside and push it up. Brilliant design.
Yeah we saw a few other designs that had done that, plus it’s better security really as opening from the outside isn’t great for that
I’m actually drooling watching this video. Amazing build! Good luck on the trails.
😂 thanks very much, really appreciate it mate
You two are truly talented , great conversion 🎉
Thanks very much 😊
That is absolutely the coolest build I’ve ever seen
Thanks 😊
Good morning to Jess as well.

So after watching this, and your Sainsbury’s van build, I am now going back and watching from the start in Oz! I absolutely love you guys and following your adventures!! ❤ keep it up 🎉
Thanks very much mate, it took us a bit to get into it when we first started filming 😂😁👍
Absolutely brilliant. Well done
Thanks 👍
Impressive Defender guys. I followed your build on it and will go back and do it again, you must be well chuffed with what you`ve done to her. Roll on next week.
Thanks very much mate, hopefully she does us proud 💪
I'd highly recommend the Defender Build - it's as interesting, fun and clever as the Sainsbury's build
Thanks 😁
You 2 are amazing, I’m on sick at minute with slipped disc, so I watched you from your very 1st vlog….. you both are my Saturday morning treat…. Can’t wait for more of your adventures ❤
Oh that does not sound good, I hope you get on the mend soon 💙
Nice work on the Landrover, and good to see y'all back in sunshine and some trees. I honestly stopped watching the Arctic episodes as I couldn't take looking at all of that snow. Looking forward to your Morocco adventures! 😎👍
😂😂😂 it was a cold one hey 😁👍
I have a little adventure story for you.Long ago when I was 23 years old and in the army in South Africa.I was driving along a gravel road in a long wheelbase Land Rover which was completely open.All we had was the windscreen no canopy .This was in Northern Angola during the Civil War.Anyway here I am driving along with two other mates (And we had already driven miles and miles that day) When suddenly the left rear wheel and half shaft came off the vehicle and flew into the bush.So we are stuck as other traffic along that road was maybe one vehicle every four or five hours.But there's a small army base not far away but it was about one to one and a half hours drive.(You couldn't just walk back to it) So now we sat the three of us in the middle of Fuck All with my rifle and two 9mm pistols.(But I had plenty of ammo for my rifle if needed) Anyway after about three hours a truck came along and said he would call at the small army base and tell them to send a recovery truck.So a while later the recovery truck arrived and took us all back to the small base.They had a mechanic who repaired our Land Rover and the next morning we were on our way. Hope you like my little adventure.But the moral of the story is as much as you can "Be Prepared".
We love hearing stories like this as we try and picture them in our heads. One of those stories that’s shit at the time but an amazing adventure to look back on. Glad you made it out ok 👍
A nice defender guys. One thing I noticed though is you have all the storage on the driver's side of the vehicle. And all the water equipment. Just be careful when tackling obstacles that make the body rock. But it is a nice set up you have. I'm not knocking it. 👌🏼👍🏼.
Thanks mate, yeah very good point 👌👍👍
Can't wait to see it in action in Morrocco and Spain! You guys are amazing - that's a really fabulous,. professional build and so well thought out. Hope you get the bits you need as my Saturday mornings wouldn't be the same!
Thanks very much 🤞 we get them 😁👍
Good for you both ... Good luck in your journeys... love watching your videos 🙂👍🏴

😊 Lovely vlog again. You two think if absolutely everything..." no space left empty" you make the most of every inch of space. Only sad thing..no out takes.....take care U2...Eileen
😂😂😂 thanks Eileen, we had to be on the ball with this one as the rain was coming in fast 😂
You made me want an alu cab pop Defender even more now! I found you guys because of that build! Will do a re-run of that.
The snorkel will actually help with cleaner air on sandy dunes, and will be a good safety when wading even knee high deep! Not ideal to get hydrolocked in a river 🌊
😂😂 thanks 😁, yeah I think if the water is bigger than a puddle we will be flapping 😂👍
