Land Rover Defender Camper Build Walkaround | Tango 2.0: Our Ultimate Overland Expedition Rig 

Wow, thank you so much Jackson!

@@EXPEDITIONROVE You’re welcome. From Malaysia 🇲🇾. Hit me up if you guys visit in the future. I got 2 landy as well Puma 110 and 200 tdi 90

I have been looking at a set up for quite a long time now on numerous websites and RU-vid’s. Your set up makes complete sense and I think gives me a clear direction I want to go when the time is right. Love your presentation- absolutely superb!! Only thing left now is to enjoy your experiences in it now

@@stephenyoung494 that's great to hear, Stephen! trying to narrow down what it is you want on the layout design side is one of the hardest parts. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions pop up if and when you decide to take on your own build - happy to help where we can! We've made some minor changes to it last month, after our UK to Turkey trip, so we'll do a little update video when we make it to Africa next month.

No doubt fantastic build and that color 👌🫡🇲🇿

thank you! us too!

Wow, thank you so much Kenneth! What a compliment! Really appreciate the support 🙌

Cheers bud, thanks for the support! It's been a long time coming but hopefully it'll help others who are looking to do something similar

Thanks a ton! It's definitely been a constant evolution over the last 7 years. We've even made some tweaks since this video was made based off of our learnings on our UK to Turkey trip. Excited to put it to the test in Africa next month and looking forward to sharing with everyone on here. Have a great one and thanks again for the support

Thank you, appreciate it!

Thank you, Pat! Look forward to sharing more of our travels on here when we start our Africa trip next month.

Thank you so much, Jorge! Hopefully our paths cross again, would love for you to see it in person one of these days!

Thank you so much, Stephen! Really appreciate it. Looking forward to getting back into Tango full time in the coming weeks for our Africa trip.

Cheers for the kind words! Neat to hear these ideas behind applied to all sorts of setups. Good luck on the build out and safe travels for the road ahead!

Thank you so much ya legend!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much - so fun designing and seeing this build come to life. And too right, better to invest on reliability up front than get stuck out in the bush and pay 10x more to get recovered, the parts, etc. We've definitely learned this lesson over the years!

MVP! Thanks for all the support over the years, Mike! Hope your paths cross someday when we make it back to the US.

Thank you!

Cheers Richard! Stoked to put it to the test in Africa in 2023.

We learned the hard way in the Arctic 😆 happy to hear it was helpful!

It always makes my day when we get a comment like this and this was no exception! There's a lot of fantastic builds out there, so it's such a huge compliment. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!!! That's a huge compliment! Must admit though....can't beat a campervan for the space. Always a give and take!

@@EXPEDITIONROVE Facts! Always a give and take. That is the nature of this lifestyle. I wouldn't trade it for any other way.

Thanks, Mike! How cool and what a small world, we live just outside of Leeds. P.s. hope to make it up to Canada in the coming years in this build!

What a compliment! Thank you so much, Mike!

Cheers Adrian! Can't wait. So soon!

Thank you so much Marcus!

Ah thank you so much! Really appreciate it

Thank you 🙌

Thank you! Definitely a labor of love but so happy with how it turned out

Aw thank you so much! 😊

Yewwww! Love to hear this Ben. If you've got any questions that pop up as you prep for the Pan-Am feels free to drop us a note on IG @expeditionrove - happy to help where we can (shipping advice, routes, budgeting, contacts, etc). Best of luck on the build!

Thanks you guys! Excited to see what you guys do with yours!

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed 😊

Thank you! It's a been a fun few years, no doubt! Looking forward to sharing more as we head to Africa next month.

What a compliment! Thank you!

Thank you!!!

Comments like these make my day! So glad to hear it was helpful. Good luck on your build and thanks for the support!

Cheers ya legend!

Thank you! And yes, that's the best way! Purpose built with no fluff 🙌

Oh man, absolutely! It's wild to look back and see the impact that that one upgrade has had on our travels. Fingers crossed our paths crossed! Would be so great to meet you guys.

Thank you! Will do!

Cheers bud!

Love that you caught that! That single "rule of thumb" has been so handy for us when packing and deciding what goes and what stays. So simple, yet so effective. And I can't recommend the water filtration system enough. Here's a breakdown of the products we used: Portable water filtration: www.guzzleh2o.com/products/stream Built-in water filtration: www.guzzleh2o.com/collections/stealth-point-of-use-series/products/stealth If you are ever curious on the other products on the build, we made our excel doc public. Hoping it helps others save some time on the research side of things: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRFisndHnpXPR17DSLjHcd3NaGGftLz8IlGtEqzno5l89F2ljsjhDPpQvUa7Nidwwe6D_bhsoVCpvM8/pubhtml Thanks again for the support!

Thank you! Hoping to share more here soon, when we make it down to Africa...stay tuned and as always, thanks for the support!

Thanks so much, Andy! Really appreciate it

Cheers team!

Muito obrigado! Agradecemos o apoio!

Cheers bud!

Aw thank you to so much! Glad you enjoyed it. And yes hahaha! We filmed this while in Europe and definitely stocked up :)

That is awesome! I can't wait to see the INEOS conversion when it comes out! And BDR routes are awesome. We're definitely looking forward to doing some of those when we make it back to the US full time. Have any favorites so far?

Thanks a bunch! Really appreciate the support

Thank you!!

Amazing to hear! Thank you so much :) Best of luck on the build. If it's helpful, here's a list of most of the products we used: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRFisndHnpXPR17DSLjHcd3NaGGftLz8IlGtEqzno5l89F2ljsjhDPpQvUa7Nidwwe6D_bhsoVCpvM8/pubhtml Let us know if any questions pop up!

Thank you so much guys!!!🥰🧡

Such a huge compliment, thank you!

Hopefully coming soon! We're thinking of doing more regular videos from our Africa trip....

Amazing! Hope you enjoy it. They really are such fun vehicles to get outdoors in.

Aw bless, thank you so much! ☺️ we’re basically neighbors! we’re right up the road in West Yorkshire. Thanks for the support and for coming along for the ride

Thank you! 🙌

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for the support!

Thank you! 🙌

Thanks so much for the support!

Thanks guys! Still making tweaks here and there but super pleased with how it turned out

Love the innovation! Sometimes the simple solutions are the best.

@@EXPEDITIONROVE I got spoiled in the van having the comfortable & adjustable front seats swivel kit installed. I figured I'd come close enuf with what office chair. I was right...

@@TerryManitoba oh man, swivel seats are the actual dream 🙌🏻 I bet those were hard to give up

@@EXPEDITIONROVE Yes - the van is great - but I'm building a Tacoma a/w the ACCC for my Mexico to Argentina trip.

@@TerryManitoba heck yeah! love to hear it. don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions that pop up for the Pan-Am trip (shipping, route planning, contacts, etc). No doubt it'll be a trip of a lifetime!

Yewww! Thank you so much.

thank you! I have to admit, we do love a good troopy build - they're not very popular in the UK/US where we're both from though

Thanks!

Headed down to Africa next month for our next big trip and plan to start sharing more on here! Thanks for the support :)

@@EXPEDITIONROVE 👍

thank you! we've been filming our whole Africa trip. Can't wait to start putting the videos together and sharing!

Thank you!

Ah, thank you Niccole! Neat to hear :)

@@EXPEDITIONROVE seriously my dream!

Thank you! We're hoping to do more during our upcoming Africa trip to share more fo the on-the-road adventure!

😂😂😂 hahaha good ol’ Yorkshire!

Thank you very much!

Cheers, Kevin! p.s. I bet you're in the shop less now 😆

I am ..spent a fortune on them, but it’s a Love that’s hard to explain and the cost then was always justified.. So many memories and adventures we had with the kids then.We drove landys in wales,where I cut my Landrover teeth,Iceland,Ontario,Canada,Namibia,Botswana and Zambia..Enjoy your time guys....

@@kevinrichards8119 well said! we wouldn't trade our Landy experiences for the world, either. 🧡if you've got any recommendations in Namibia, Botswana, or Zambia, please send em our way!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much, Tomas!

absolutely! so pleased with it and it's great to have peace of mind on the engine rebuild

Thank you so much! Working on it!

Большое спасибо! Мы определенно благодарны за размер, но нам нравится Jimny!

Thank you so much! And yes, hard to beat a pop top! Oh man, that's a tough decision between those two...We still have our Discovery 3 back in Texas. Such a comfy vehicle for road trips but the Defender is hard to beat now that it's built out.

@@EXPEDITIONROVE defender is the dream but, everyday driving might steer us to the disco. Drove a friend’s disco 3 and absolutely loved it! Pick up that camera and keep the videos coming 👍🏼

Thank you! Cheers!

@@EXPEDITIONROVE …👍🏼😁

Of course! Glad it was helpful.

Thank you! Nearly 2 years in an still loving it 😊

Thank you so much!

All depends on your budget really, I’d probably say if you plan on taking it to far flung corners of the world a 300tdi in good condition or fully rebuilt would be best. But if you don’t really want to rebuild you’re more likely to get a Puma with a better body condition and lower mileage. The Defender market is really all over the place, my advice would be don’t worry about the age of the Defender as even the newest defender is about 7 years old now and things will need replacing on it, so just spend your time looking for one that’s been well looked after. A 1990 rebuilt Defender is a better buy than your average 2015 Defender in my opinion.

We run a Clutch Fix HD clutch and so far so good 🤞🏼 40k miles on it so far

Hey Ian! Sounds epic. We'd love to have some doggos on the road with us if we had more space. If you have any questions on the build-out side just shoot us a message. I made an excel doc with all the products we used - it's link in this video description if that's helpful at all for planning purposes. For the solar wiring we used Scanstrut double cable seals to run it into the roof: www.mudstuff.co.uk/products/scanstrut-double-cable-seal?_pos=3&_sid=5cbc94491&_ss=r And then the A-Pillar we used this extra deep pillar trim since it's quite a lot of wiring that we have there now: www.mudstuff.co.uk/products/mud-a-pillar-trim?_pos=1&_sid=114113aaa&_ss=r From there it was just a matter of running to the battery box that's behind the drivers seat.

Thank you! We've never worked with Land Rover but would love to if the opportunity ever arises. For wifi, we usually just get a new SIM card in each country and then hotspot our laptop.

Thank you! We went with a 2000W inverter because the highest powered item we have is our induction cooktop at 1500W. Anything above 2000W for our current setup would have been overkill and since we're tight on space it made sense to stick to the smaller 2000W inverter. If we had any appliances that were at the 1800W mark or higher we would have gone with a high capacity inverter. Hope this helps!
