Thread: Ideas for your Expedition Defender

Over the space of 3 years I filmed my conversion of my standard Defender 110 into a better setup for expedition travels. Here is all 6 parts of the build.

I estimate it cost somewhere between $15-20000. I don't really want to know It is far more comfortable than original spec and suits 2 people well.

I look forward to bumping into you sometime and having a "sticky beak" at your upgrades

Hi,
Lining up to get the camper on the tray always took several attempts; checking the angle, is the tray central at the back?, is the tray central at the front? etc.


Last time I unloaded it I put a few planks inside the legs and they lined up nicely with the tyres, so I reversed the idea when last loading it.


By placing the planks against the legs I had a line to run the rear tyre along, and it was easy to follow with the front tyre as well.








It worked first go.


Cheers

Taken it all over and tow an off road boat trailer, surfboards on roof, stainless water tank under with tap at rear, plumbed in air compressor, under bonnet shower (hot) perfect set up for me...

Hi Troyfyn

Is that a drifta fit out in the back?

Truck looks great
