Yea nice and low to keep the weight where it should be.

Thanks

😂 well nothing compared to yours but I do put stuff up.

Glad you enjoyed it. Head over to liams channel and I’m sure he will be adding more content.

Thank you, if you head over to our channel you'll see we have just uploaded an engine and driveline video that should cover everything you need 👍

Oh man that's such a hard question, for us the Pinzgauer is the ultimate, it's better on road, off road, living out of and way more reliable. But the Defender always has that Defender factor! The obvious answer is the Pinzgauer but never overlook the Defender because on the right day there is nothing on the planet that will give you a better driving experience!

I’d have the pinz for how cool it is but the 110 is such a practical car for daily life

You would have to ask him.

Labcraft 👍

Defender campers are in the south west. Iv not used them but I see there stuff on Instagram pop up. Also black rock adventure rent vehicles

The general consensus is the 300tdi is the most reliable but that’s because it’s got about as much power as an electric fan. The TD5 was ok, it makes its power a little high up the rev range for my liking and the electrics and moving parts are nearly a quarter of a century old now so it’s not exactly reliable either. The puma 2.4 was in my opinion an ok engine but it was very unrefined and had quite a few design flaws that were rectified in the 2.2. The 2.2 puma is my personal favourite of the bunch but some would consider both pumas unreliable, mainly due to pritty weak injectors that fail and blow through pistons, that said it’s a good motor that makes good power and can be a lovely drive. Conclusion - Land Rover never put a great engine in the Defender. Personally I should have OM606 swapped mine when i blew a piston

@@TheAdamsOverlandCompany om606 ? is this a more solid piston to make the defender more bullet proof? which mods do you think are essential for defender engine and camper build for round the world with driver who's not mechanically gifted lol ?

@@forwardprogressonly I blew my puma up and in hindsight i should have om606 the thing. Easy to work on, tons of power and very reliable. Camper wise a second fuel tank and a water tank mounted to the chassis are a great option, and then build a camper around those two systems.

@@TheAdamsOverlandCompany LIKE YOUR BUILD like the double tank and whats your max range you can go not stopping - think the 2 door hardtop way to go - was thinking put a light wide tray and build a tiny house with a door access to cab

@@forwardprogressonly5 door or 2 door are great platforms, the utility back with the huge gullwings is also a good option. I can comfortably cover 600 miles at 80mph. If I call it down to 60/65 she’ll do just shy of 1000 miles before a refill. Which is more than enough for any overland vehicle

Bloody good eyes pal. That’s a big dog.

150kg for puma, 75kg for previous generations. The rack weighs 40kg, so well within tolerance, Its not recommended to be carrying weight on the roof in general so the only thing that's supposed to be on there is lightweight kit, not the jerry cans and boxes upon boxes of equipment you see too many people doing.

Any small about of weight added by the rack is far outweighed by the versatility it adds. You can also see that when it’s in use it’s not overloaded.

@@Bugoutvehiclesuk If we are getting reeeeeally nerdy and technical, the rock sliders weight 30kg combined and the tanks when empty are 35kg combined, so I can get away with putting 20kg on the roof rack while empty on fluids and the centre of gravity would be the same as it having no weight on the roof from factory. It only gets better the more weight there is in the tanks, almost like a ship’s ballast. Now I know many people will read this and think the truck is going to be ridiculously heavy but I can assure you that it weighs 2760kg fully loaded with full overland/expedition kit and full tanks, meaning it’s still nearly 300kg UNDER GVM. Everything is thought out when we build trucks, you can throw money and clever kit on any wagon but keeping it well within safe tolerances is where a lot of people fall down. The Defender was “ Operation Lightweight “ and we definitely delivered 👍

You must be looking really hard to pick fault because I can’t see one 😂😂😂

Bottom of the passenget door there seems a line going up to the storage door.....at the 1minute and 5 second stage....not picking fault just wondered if its a panel line or a dent, if a dent then how gutted i would be.
