Build our dream Land Rover Defender camper with us! 🛠
We can’t believe it’s been 4 years since we first bought our Defender, time flies! Our first build was thrown together on the road outside my mums house in a rush & on a tight budget. So we are so happy to finally get to put everything we’ve learned about that set up into building this version - Our Defender Camper Build 2.0 ready for more adventures in Scotland and further afield next year 🌍

Make sure you get a carbon monoxide detector for your Landy because you have the heater in back.

@SomewhereWilder Год назад

Yessss such good advice! They are so important ❤️ We actually have two as we definitely have the carbon monoxide fear🥴

@@SomewhereWilder Great, better to be safe than sorry. I’m from the UK originally and now live in the US, have been restoring my old 1964 Series IIA 109. It’s got quite the story as the original owner drove it down to Cape Horn, Argentina. I use it mostly for weekend fishing and camping trips but would love to do more. Perhaps when work does not get in the way! Love your channel and keep’ ‘‘em coming, be safe and happy. G

@floatingfreedom6091 10 месяцев назад

If it’s a diesel heater it’s vented outside . Only need a co2 detector if there’s ingress if gasses or living flame 🔥. Always a good idea to have one at sleeping height though

Those are not internal roll bars, they are the mounting for the seat belts that would have been fitted when it was a station waggon. I've just removed mine because the metal plates on the underside of the bars (in the tyre well) have caused galvic corrosion.

@perrymarc2162 Год назад

What a great refurb - well done. We have a ‘95 110 CSW and are looking at something similar but I can’t decide on whether to keep the rear side window or fit side lockers, do you use them a lot? If I kept the windows I could cover them and use the locker cost (quite expensive) on the rebuild. Any thoughts Thanks Perry

@SomewhereWilder Год назад

Thanks for watching Perry 🙌 The side hatches were already installed when we bought the Landy 4 years ago but if we'd had time before getting the pop-top fitted we might have swapped them out for gullwing windows to let more light in! The hatches are good for privacy, but we haven't got the internal locker space that you see on some builds - we like being able to open them up in summer to let light and air in instead ☀

@perrymarc2162 Год назад

@@SomewhereWilder thanks very much that’s helpful and something else to think about. If I decided to fit lockers I would consider the internal locker but would loose the rear storage width 🙈
