Ah very nice! I love Ronny's videos and have been hanging out for a modified episode on the Defender. Can't wait to see it!

Defenders are a strange beast, any mods tend to be more subtle and hopefully either add to the practicality or durability. Most of my mods have gone to making it handle the heat better and towing the camper trailer easier.
Video is on the link now.

Really enjoyed the video! I haven't seen rear seats configured like that in a 90.

Loved the linked page, and will have to watch the video again when I'm not at work!

Is the "custom" bar the Rijidij one?

Looks familiar. But I do recall reading of a requested modification to an existing bullbar product, whether this is the case or not I dont know!

"Custom" can be bandied about a lot, and is fairly open to interpretation (ie a one-off made in someone's shed, vs made by consignment, vs low volume production, vs modified low volume production...). I do think that the average punter watching 4wd videos on youtube/4wd action/etc get some jollies from that word though! Might be part of the script!

I really do like the rear seats on this 90 though... When I was looking at cars, I saw a 90 Xtreme up in Darwin that had the same arrangement, but in a bench seat. Would be mad to have that much 'people space' in the back with such a compact fold away design.

Yes they discuss Rijidij at around 1.40 into the vid. I believe that Murray is quite prepared to discuss individual requirements with his customers.

Yes it is the Rijidij bar, perhaps custom might not be the correct term I dont know but it wasnt scripted and the bars are made to order so it seemed like as good a word as any. The main thing is its a Defender ☺, Ronny was genuinely impressed and he'd had quite a few requests for a Landy.
Thinking about it, as its a tube type bar thats been customised with the side hoops I think 'custom' is the right word so I'll stick with it☺

Even so, it's still a most bodacious little landy.

Yeh sorry mate I couldn't watch the video initially as I was at work, and was just reading the description of your rig. I've got the same bar (minus the LEDs), and love it. I think it's marketed as Murray's "Hybrid" bar now so I assume he still makes more of the terrafirma style without hoops.
