Great build. Elephant in the room. When Travelling abroad you will invariably and eventually have to purchase a carnet de passages, the cost of which is relative to the value of the vehicle, and with this vehicle it’s going to be eye watering!

Fantastic! Really well thought out

Thanks Errol - I am revisiting the camper/overland thing with my restomod. Good food for thought. Cheers

the hidden safe isnt that hidden anymore 😂

Fantastic set up well done Gibby in OZ

Fantastic Rig.

Me ha gustado mucho todo lo que has hecho en el defender. Además de quedar muy bien es muy práctico. Yo también tengo un defender 110 y mi intención es camperizarlo. Dices que ha sido ese tu trabajo durante 10 años. Que lastima que yo viva en Barcelona y tú tan lejos pero me ha parecido tan bueno tu trabajo que estaría encantado de que tú hicieras la transformación del mio. Creo que eres un gran profesional y además transmites mucho amor para tu trabajo. Gracias por los subtítulos en español.

What a great conversion! If you ever feel the need to just do one more Defender.....

Good job man...

Killer build A+

Awesome build Errol! Subbed and i've bought my ticket for euromillions... will be in touch when I win 😂

Hi Erroll this is where I no you from, years ago and must say they are very well built, I thought you had fallen out of love with defenders and building them though, nice build atb.

Great conversion, nice layout, plenty of storage, I've just noticed one flaw, the Icarus pop top can be opened from the outside, if I was designing this vehicle for overland travel that would be the first problem I'd tend to, otherwise a great build 🙂👍🚙

@@wright-adventure It's not about "getting used to it", but about the safety. If anyone can open the roof from the outside, then getting in is just a matter of cutting the fabric. It can be done discreetly even in a crowded parking lot.

@@psnowakyt it does have latches which accommodate padlocks which I use when away from vehicle, it would be easier to get in through a side door with land rover doors, the getting used to it was more referring to opening and closing externally especially when weather is bad, unfortunately the internal design at the moment doesn’t allow for it to be closed and locked from the inside.

I'd love a pop top but can't justify the price!

Hello Errol…thanks for this enlightening review. I was particularly interested in the rear door table (7m25s) and where you go it from. Does it exist as well for a TD5, like in my case. Appreciate your guidance! Greetings from France.

@wright-adventure

Hello Robert, the roof rack has the ‘tall’ legs and table comes with the brackets for it to attach to the underside of the rack and it clears the airline rails, if you only have the short legs it won’t work, you can just buy the tail legs separately if you need to.

What map did you use when traveling in Mongolia this summer? 

@wright-adventure

Жыл бұрын

Hi, initially I planned my route on Gaia maps, the basic map is free but you can subscribe to it for about £10 which gives you many more different style of maps and I really like it, but I did buy the Garmin mini satellite tracker which also has a mapping app. this map is okay, not overly detailed but for Mongolia that was not so much a problem as I just need direction, but the best bit is you can easily import your planned routes from Gaia maps and they work perfectly. you can also download the maps so they work off line which is exactly what I did as well, so I ended up having lots of bases covered.
