- Today we're taking a look at the Next Meridian Expedition Land Rover Defender which has been modified to tour the world! We discuss everything from their roof conversion to their kitchen setup, 12v system and everything inbetween. This is an incredibly unique vehicle and it was a pleasure to meet Nick and Mitchilde and see this amazing Defender in person. 🙂

Thank you Daniel for the tour ! it was a pleasure meeting you !
It was a pleasure to meet you both too! Safe travels for the rest of your epic adventure. 😁
I've heard that a engine problem stopped your journey... but i know that is just a little set back for you... fantastic LR.... can you tell me what kind of shower do you have installed? Regards from Portugal...
Key take-away for me: no kids. Lol.
What a fantastic rig. Clear a huge amount of thought and real life experience has gone into the build!
Absolutely! I love unique setups like this, built carefully and purposefully to suit the owners. 😁
Shame they had such bad luck just a few days later, when their engine blew. They met some lovely people, and one new engine later they are now back on the road. It’s a great rig 👍
Nice tour. Interesting couple. Wish them safe travelling
I absolutely love foreign built cars. Things like the chassis toolboxes is just something so different & unique to what we see everyday here in Aus.
Bloody Awesome is what the DEFENDER 110 is 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Love this and they are great Mates! Love following them!
Well done Dan ! What an impressive vehicle and a lovely couple - just subscribed & looking forward to watching their Aussie adventures
Thanks mate! And couldn’t agree more, it was great to meet them both, and so kind of them to spend the morning showing me through their setup 😁
Great video, They are awesome!
It's a fascinating rig and they are a great couple.
What an epic journey they have been on
Impressive rundown guys! What's the next adventure?
Thanks! We’re off to do the Gibb River Road next month - can’t wait!
What a huge set up 😯
Super!!!
So positive video) Thanks, great Defender.
As per the other comments this vehicle had a catastrophic engine failure shortly after this video was filmed.
I talked directly to the nice couple who own it. Unfortunately they fell into the trap of modifying the engine with an EGR delete and ECM “tune”. Not long after these were done the engine failed.
Please understand I have no agenda. I only want to see people have a great time in their vehicles and stay safe in remote parts of the world. I am a professional 4WD builder and fleet maintenance manager (mining & industrial), and this vehicle has every alarm bell ringing when it comes to endurance and reliability. Never muck around with the Ford Puma engine, it’s a poor choice for a worldwide overland trip in the first place, let alone if you’ve fiddled with it.
Land Rover is a difficult vehicle to love because they are so prone to breakdown. You really need to spend several years debugging a Land Rover on short trips before you can fully trust it. They are very expensive vehicles to maintain and modify to be reliable for this kind of expedition. Pains me to say that because I grew up with them in the 80s, but they were terrible then and nothing has really improved!
Great episode thanks
Nice truck Daniel. Great setup in there
Fingers crossed on the life of the Ford 2.2......good excuse for an M57 conversion.
Very cool
Nice, what's the shower tent brand?
I prefer Mickey Thompson baja tires , as you know tires are weight rated as many other features, I wonder the manufacturer weight limit with all these add on and gear , I own many overland builds my 05 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon LJ has a 3500 rating with 800 gear & passenger total 4600 pounds with all my add on im now 5800 that's 1200 over manufacturer gross weight limit , I added a supercharger to my 4.0 in summer my jeep over heats due to weight I removed my roof top tent to light up some , im not hating anyone build but being too head can have many issues
Thank you for sharing this well thought out vehicle!
Many great ideas to be taken from this! Some I already have, like the rear camera for example.
My last two vehicles were very hard to see what's going on behind until I fitted cameras and I doubt I'd ever go without again!
WAPOL will defect your car with that thing on the bonnet. In an instant.
The Shoo-Roo things are a gimmick. They absolutely do nothing to deter skippy.
There's no definitive yes or no information about whether the roo things work
@@louiskudlak2256 An argument which means that they don't work.
@@curtisjones1904 prove it smarty pants, show me
before motor dead
Wowza!
heres the irony, they blew the motor up 5 days in and have just replaced it.
Magnifique! ... Merci.
