You have an amazing rig there Chris, really amazing. You're really lucky to own this. For anyone who has a love for the former event they will really appreciate how you've kept this vehicle. It has real character. While I was in France last year I was lucky enough to come across a Camel Disco and had a chat with its owner. It was probably the most memorable part of my holiday!!! Lovely intercom installation too :) Great to see ham radio onboard too. Your advice on fuses is 100% right. A Landy is a labour of love, there is no other way to describe it. Remember that a Landy never leaks engine oil, it's simply the inbuilt anti-corrosion system working!!!! It's been brilliant to hear the two of you chat about and show us this amazing rig. Thank you so much. OB#17170

Gorgeous rig, glad it isn't sitting in a museum! Thanks for sharing

soo damn cool. Grew up seeing the pictures of these as a kid. I'm building an overlanding FJ Cruiser at the moment but know that one day I will own a defender.

Great job Chris! So glad you where able to fulfill a childhood dream. Your story mirrors my own. grew up watching my camel trophy tapes almost everyday. Definitely pushed me into the lifestyle I live today. Here’s to hoping my chance to save a camel appears one day too.

Love seeing the comic relief splat tomato above the rear door.

Good for pointing out about bringing spares. Everyone should be familiar with common failures and weak areas in their vehicles, then carry those spares and know how to change/work on them.

The 1996 Camel Trophy was supposed to last 15 days. Ended up if I remember right 31 days. Qlympic athletes were not doing well at the end.

One of the best LR videos in a long time. Down to earth, lighthearted with some valuable info woven into it. Love it !!

Thank you Chris, for saving and maintaining this jewel, and for allowing us such a close, well informed look at it, and thank you Michael, for taking the time to do this, and share it with us! Great video, great truck! (planning on painting my '72 Jeep Wagoneer that color, if it ever gets far-enough along...🙄)

Lol great video, I just did video on mine, how funny is that? I am a member of OB and we are making our way west coast, so I will contact when we are there. Land Rover is a lifestyle! Safe trails

Hope you keep the original engine for display... that Defender is amazing, thanks for share with the world!

It's cool what you said about ham radio, wish if he revealed his callsign! Great job! N1CY

Land Rovers (series through Defenders) are a love/hate relationship. You love 'em when your driving them and hate 'em when you're fixing them (which is rather often!) I'm currently building (re-building, really) a 1987 Defender in the UK for a year-long expedition across southern and eastern Africa. Would a Land Cruiser be better? Probably; rides better, more reliable, and utterly soulless. Defenders come with a brotherhood (and sisterhood!) where if you are stopped on the side of the road or trail, any other LR driver will stop and help. Not unlike Jeeps here in the States. Thanks for the tour, Doc!

Wow! This is really cool!! Love the story!!

Great one ten!!!!! I like it 😍👍👍👍👍👍

Sweet video love the 110s!! Need to do a walk around video on an LR3 and LR4😉

I love that this is being used!

Awesome video! Awesome land rover and a unique history it has! 200 tdi defenders are becoming rare these days

What an awesome rig and story.

That thing is awesome! Everything you need in one package!

Wow best truck story of year! Well done. Thank you for taking us along. S

Such a cool rig. I happen to have modified a 2021 Defender X recently. It would be cool to do a walk around of both of them side by side.

a truly beautiful machine

Great video! I liked the added history he added as well as being honest about the vehicles downsides. All vehicles have them old and new but videos like this really show people what owning one could potentially be like. Specially being new to owning older vehicles. Great work

very nice i like land rover.

Thanks for the video!! One of the best 4wheel drive

This video gives me the feels. Thanks for sharing! Love these things.

Land Rover for life! Love my 110 Perentie and vortec powered series 2 88.

Beautiful vehicle

Now I'm confused since I heard that the trophy trucks weren't just off the shelf but instead heavy duty specced out? I don't mean accessories like lamps and racks but frame and diff protection plates or just more durable components, no? Ah, Rollcage!

first off, love this landy she's a true legend. secondly 400 ish freekin miles WHAT my 2004 D90 only just managed 300miles and I religiously zero the trip on each fill up so I know at 299 miles I have 1 mile left or LESS :O

And this is why my 95 disco is STILL my favorite truck

Somone in my family came second place in one of the 90s ones ,he doesnt hav his discovery but his mate has his defender still. From the UK

Another great video! Thanks for uploading this . Doc Chris, that is a truly radical overland rig! OB#12445

So cool that truck, I want it. 😄

Very cool rig indeed. Love that sandglow. You guys need to get a Perentie 110 to check out. Isuzu 4bd1 will change your life:)

Dude.... sweet!

I’ve owned two 110s. Loved them, but sold them both because I love money more. I’ll own another defender someday but it will be a 130.

truck is pretty local to me, see it every once and awhile, bad ass rig

Cool. 😎

Did I miss something where is your rig Mike haven’t heard anything about it Chris has a cool rig thanks for sharing!

How do you get a 200Tdi swapped TD 110 registered in California? I thought it was almost impossible in most of the US, hence all the factory v8 defenders disappearing from over here?

Way to avoid that weight question. :D Go to a cat scale and get a weight! Would love to know. Love the Awning I really want one... however my LR4 is heavy, and loaded up it's very close to GVWR. 6500, but i've got 380 hp. 380 torque. That awning looks heavy.

A Cummins R28 would be a good upgrade. What is the tire/wheel size 255/85r16 on 16x7's ?

Where’s its original headlights gone!?

Shame that not one of the current lineup could attempt this challenge

Love the rig👍. I tried to put on a "camel trophy style" trail run but people here are such sissys . Afraid of mud, ect. Turned total greenies. I did get a few for a snow run which was fun but too hard core for most.
