AUSTRIAN DEFENDER

[rangietragic]

Saw a really well prepped defender at hervey bay on saturday.Big guy from Austria,it was a puma,lifted,wheel spacers,twin shocks on all corners,heated recaro seats,storage systems in back,water jerry cans and sand ladders on sides,roof rack loaded with shovels ect.Left hand drive and i'd say one of everything you could name on the vehicle.He had it chipped up in europe,but bruce davis removed it and put in one of his own.Have some pics but they don't do it justice.Unreal 110:).

I think you should put the pics up anyway. Would love to see what you describe so well ☺

[Orkney 90]

Yes, please put up the pics. One can never get sick of seeing another Defender. And it certainly isn't every day I get to see a left-hand-drive one.

[Gerokent]

I thought you said you had some pics ??
Don't tease.

I wonder how far he will get before he gets pulled over for the beadlocks and the shovel on the bonnet;)

[Landy Smurf]

^I think being a foreigner he should be ok.
That is a cool set up though. I would love to have a look in person.
Thanks for sharing the photos

Shovel on bonnet or guard no good legally ?

I wonder how far he will get before he gets pulled over for the beadlocks and the shovel on the bonnet;)

I wonder how far he will get before over heating….

I saw this car around 5 months ago in Mansfield. Very nice truck. They must be on a massive trip around oz.
They had a Kimberly camper too

I'd like to know where you can get the clear as opposed to tinted window wind deflectors.

The ones I have seen by Climair etc have been dark smoked, my windows are tinted dark already.

Nice rig - almost the same setup as mine, same wheels, same bar, same twin shock setup, same driving lights, etc.

Must be a real classy guy...

[Chops]

It looks very similar to the one I saw in Dandenong a while back.

One very awesome looking rig.

Nice rig.. but I'm curious about what is extending out below the front of the roof rack. It looks like some draw slides attached to a flat piece of material.
Could it be a roof rack extension to hold extra gear. Perhaps it's an over specced adjustable sun visor?? From the photos it looks like it's stuck in the extended position.
If they are draw slides, being mounted in that position exposed to dust, mud and rain etc then they'd be stuffed in no time :eek:

I call solar panel.

I call solar panel.

Of course.. d'oh :p

Looks like a good idea, but still think the runners will be cactus if they're exposed like that.

definatly packed up to go some where. Nice.

I saw the red square on the door and thought it might have been this one (a photo taken in Vienna last year).

But no.


Obviously the Defender bug crosses all borders and the Austrians are infected as well.


BTW the red square on this one advertises a Land Rover accessory and service group in Austria. www.landy-friend.at (http://www.landy-friend.at)
