- Build our dream Land Rover Defender camper with us! 🛠
We can’t believe it’s been 4 years since we first bought our Defender, time flies! Our first build was thrown together on the road outside my mums house in a rush & on a tight budget. So we are so happy to finally get to put everything we’ve learned about that set up into building this version - Our Defender Camper Build 2.0 ready for more adventures in Scotland and further afield next year 🌍

Thank you so much for being here, love you all so much ❤️
Make sure you get a carbon monoxide detector for your Landy because you have the heater in back.
Yessss such good advice! They are so important ❤️ We actually have two as we definitely have the carbon monoxide fear🥴
@@SomewhereWilder Great, better to be safe than sorry. I’m from the UK originally and now live in the US, have been restoring my old 1964 Series IIA 109. It’s got quite the story as the original owner drove it down to Cape Horn, Argentina. I use it mostly for weekend fishing and camping trips but would love to do more. Perhaps when work does not get in the way! Love your channel and keep’ ‘‘em coming, be safe and happy.
G
If it’s a diesel heater it’s vented outside . Only need a co2 detector if there’s ingress if gasses or living flame 🔥.
Always a good idea to have one at sleeping height though
Seeing such progress is therapeutic but also gives me confidence that I can one day build an overlander for myself
Ahhh we love that!! We definitely had absolutely no experience when we started doing this so definitely think anyone can do it too❤️
So jealous of the alucab roof! Build looks sick guys nice work
I like the way that to mime cooking on the new back-door fold-out worktop it looks like Frida is playing the piano! 😂
Hahaha I’m glad you liked that bit because I was so close to leaving it out as I look like a weirdo 😅
@@SomewhereWilder ah no, come on, if you left out the "weirdo" stuff there would be nothing left! 🤭
Fellow 300di 110 owner ✋🏼😊Alucab pop top and wrap around awning looks like a fantastic upgrade.
Awesome work getting there one piece at a time
Enjoy your first trip and adjust as you go take care be safe
Awesome video, more please! I love your channel, you are so cheery and goofy :D
Thank you so much!! Goofy is definitely accurate seeing as we have no clue what we’re doing half the time ahaha 😅❤️ thanks for watching!!
Great build! I turn the jigsaw uppside down to not get any splitting.
You can also put painters tape on the cutline of the jigsaw
Ooh thanks for the tip! Will try that next time 💡

Love your content 🍻
nice, live this!
Looking great, hope you have as much fun in the new build as you did in the old one.
Ahhh thank you so much!! We hope so 🤞🫶
Really enjoyed that, well done on the build looks awesome!
Hi guys,we are camping in wick tonight so if you are close by then give us a shout 😁 off to john o'grotes tomorrow
Great video. Well done on the upgrades 👍 Those boxes look fantastic too - they remind me of the ROAM ones.
Thank you so much!! Yess we’re so chuffed with the boxes, haven’t heard of the Roam ones but will check them out 😍
So fun watching you rebuilding!
Amazing! You guys are smashing it, I now want a Land Rover after watching this 😂 look forward to seeing your NC500 adventure 😁
Thank you so much James!! I'm sure we'll get humbled by a break down soon enough 😅
Great build! Inspiring and well documented! 👏
What a Great build, and great simple ideas. Thank you
My Defender is on its 5th incarnation currently after almost 17 years of owning Monty, they truly are Transformers ! Great build and video guys and look forward to following your travels !
The internal bars you mention are for seat belt anchors in the rear.
Okay were with you 2 good luck stay safe. Happy trails
Looks great! Looking forward to see more of your new adventures with this great new build! Best wishes from Norway!
thank you so much!! We hope to visit Norway in it next year, one of our favourite countries in the world 🥰🤞
A beautiful build and congratulations on a great video
Good job. Enjoy it.
Fantastic detailed vlog and thanks for sharing buddy!
so happy you enjoyed it!! Thanks so much for watching 😊😊
Great video, by the way, you've done a fantastic job on your Defendant😊
thoroughly enjoyed that video. Thanks very much.
Great job guys
Nice Work! 👍 LG, Alfred
Thank you so much!! 😊
Love the build guys! Can’t wait to see you again. Also, can’t believe Frida has the same socks as me!!
Ahahaha we have all the Land Rover themed items at this point 😅😆
Thanks so much Alex!!!
Hey guys, I’m new to the channel and stumbled across your videos when looking for more Defender content and absolutely love what you guys are doing! Well filmed, well edited and really calming! Keep up the great work..
beautiful!
This is awesome! 👏
Thank you guys... Top video as always 😊👌
Thanks for watching Kenny! Glad you enjoyed it 😄
Really super video 👏👏👏👏... Well worth the wait! 😉😆
Yay thanks so much Rob! Hopefully won't be so long until the next one 💪
@@SomewhereWilder 🤭... 🤣
What are those lovely camping chairs?? 😊
They are the CAMPZ beechwood folding chairs (we ordered them via Addnature) and love them so far!! 😊
I think you’ve done really well given the tools you have & wonky cabin. I would really advocate buying a few clamps for next time.
God I loved this! Nice trick with the sleeping bags, and yes there is never a straight angle in a vehicle lol I learned that with my build
Thank you so much!! You can never have enough storage in a Land Rover that's for sure😆 and yes I swear no two defenders are the same shape inside 😂
@@SomewhereWilder I gotta ship my rig out to Scotland one of these days
Nice! Looks like a lot of fun! I still have not done anything to my 96 DEF. I am was reluctant drilling into body but like you said it will be much easier to undo them if it is needed. Thank you.
Thank you! It’s so much fun doing it yourself 🛠️ it’s so funny how scared we were to drill into it the first time round compared to now 😅
That bar in the rear tub is for rear bench seats seat belt mounts .
Oh no way!! Makes sense 😆
Congratulaations, good job, thanks for sharing and keep on adventure 😜
'hand-made artisanal dowels" 🤣
Great job as always
Love it ❤
Great build, can’t wait for the NC500 videos!
Nice Build🥰
Nice job, guys. Living the dream - ship it to South Africa and do the trip of a lifetime.
Thank you so much! One day we would absolutely love to😍 For now we are more than happy watching Expedition Rove & Landy Expedition having the most amazing time!!!
Nice set Up ❤❤
Glad you like it! It's similar to the build we had before and we loved that so that's why we kept it much the same 😁
Great build guys, I am still on the road with my roof top tent, if I would go for the Icarus pop top too, thanks to your video I got the Doemtic water dispenser too.....the NC 500 is on my list too👌greets from Zurich, Tom
awesome.
Thanks! 🙌
I am from the state of Pahang, Malaysia
Those are not internal roll bars, they are the mounting for the seat belts that would have been fitted when it was a station waggon. I've just removed mine because the metal plates on the underside of the bars (in the tyre well) have caused galvic corrosion.
Just discovered your channel, absolutely love it! New subscriber over here 🙋🏼♀️
Hi. Amazing modifications. Why your table is so crooked? Greetings from Poland
That one has definitely been through a lot😅 we just upgraded to a sturdier Dometic one actually which is a lot stronger 💪
Subscribing!! Just bought a 1995 Defender 90 300tdi
I'm looking at installing a diesel heater in my 110. Just wondered if you went for a 2kW or a 5kW heater? Happy with it? - love the channel, keep em coming! 👍
Nice build... Subbed for more content 👍
Yayy thank you!! Should have lots more coming soon🥳
Harikasınız
WOW.....
спасибо за видео 👍
Love these videos guys - great inspiration for my own conversion. One question - after you've converted the Landy from a Station Wagon to a camper did you have to notify the DVLA? What happens when you go for an MOT?
Great simple yet a very functional build. Can you please list the tools you used for the Build?
With love from Nigeria ❤
Thanks so much! We only used hand tools(jigsaw, handsaw, sander, drill and rivet tool), apart from when we had the wood cut in the store we bought it from 😊
What a great refurb - well done.
We have a ‘95 110 CSW and are looking at something similar but I can’t decide on whether to keep the rear side window or fit side lockers, do you use them a lot?
If I kept the windows I could cover them and use the locker cost (quite expensive) on the rebuild.
Any thoughts
Thanks Perry
Thanks for watching Perry 🙌 The side hatches were already installed when we bought the Landy 4 years ago but if we'd had time before getting the pop-top fitted we might have swapped them out for gullwing windows to let more light in! The hatches are good for privacy, but we haven't got the internal locker space that you see on some builds - we like being able to open them up in summer to let light and air in instead ☀
@@SomewhereWilder thanks very much that’s helpful and something else to think about. If I decided to fit lockers I would consider the internal locker but would loose the rear storage width 🙈
"Artisanal" dowels😂😂😂
premium custom made 😅🤌
@@SomewhereWilder
"Fabrique en France"
- (But I thought he was Swiss?)
- (SHHH!!)
Drilling, hammering, heavy gear. Keep the tootsies covered up. Nice work
Yess I know I was cringing watching us when editing it 😅 total amateurs for sure!
Hi guys! I'd like to know what kind of plain black material did you use to cover the wooden panel on the back door of the car? Is itpaint?
I am interested in owning a land rover like in the video
Tienes un mate jajajaj, min 18:20
What’s that rotating awning?! That’s ace.
Hi guys what area in scotland are you ? Im in oban and moved here just over 2 years ago from near manchester 😁 im leading a group of friends with land rovers on the NC500 starting from oban next tuesday and im leading them anti clockwise 😁
Omg that sounds amazing woww!!! We should be up around the cairngorms next week so maybe we’ll spot you 🤞😍 we are based near Loch Lomond!
@@SomewhereWilder we are leaving oban this tuesday and hrading to inverness and doing the nc500 anti clock wise 😊 taking our time and have about a week and a half to do it 😁 no rush .hopefully we may see you guys along the way
hola me puedes decir donde has adquirido,comprado tu techo pop ap.. gracias
me darias el contacto ??
Je suis français et j'approuve ce qu'il fait, haha
Where your camping seats from please
What happens to the things in the Defender boxes when you pop the roof top?
We made sure to fill them with enough stuff so it all kind of stays in place! It's mostly just camping bits like tent/backpacks/that kind of thing so they are soft but bulky so nothing rattling around too much 😊
👍✌️
What is the value of Malaysian Ringgit?
15:20 : its a french thing aha
you guys should be putting out videos weekly
I really want to!!! The editing process still takes such a long time as I’m so new to it but hopefully I can get a bit faster 🤞 thank you so much!
@@SomewhereWilder editing is worth it though, sound quality on most videos is trash so it's hard to watch/listen too. I always watch your guys's videos start to end
That means a lot as I definitely know what you mean with some stuff you start watching😅 so we are honoured you enjoy watching ours!!❤️
17:55 it's what day?
amazing couple i wish have a partner like that can helps me in my adventure its rare on woman
Vous vous trompez, il y a des français qui regardent vos vidéos 😂
Nene overland do not have the best reputation, (that’s being kind) hope they did a good job for you.
Surprised you went to Nene Overland given all the bad reviews they get. The after sales support and service is terrible.
Oh we hadn't heard that, we only spoke to a few friends beforehand about it though! I guess maybe it's different for others but we had a wonderful experience with them😊 They've been super helpful with the post install questions we've had so far too when we had to wire the lights and stuff ourselves💡
I LOVE defender 110,i HATE dogs.
Should have got a Land Cruiser....you're sure gonna increase your mechanical knowledge.
RUclips Defender builds done to death. When will it be trendy for RUclipsrs to do something else..
People like builds, gives you ideas for your own vehicle. You know it’s not compulsory to watch.🤷♂️
The woman in this video made several hi pitched noises. Whilst i have no issues with someone expressing their joy, on RUclips videos it' very hard on the ears! please stop her now!!
Been done thousands of time on RUclips just gets boring 😢
don’t watch it then 👍
You know it’s not compulsory to watch it, right?
