Not too many of these kicking around. Solid truck, solid doors, solid frame and body. A good base to start a build from. Ross 385-645-3876 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 Station Wagon VIN# SALLDHMF7LA935259 The Sledgehammer has everything. WE build our trucks for adventure, not for looking...

It’s a joying 10.1. It does CarPlay and android apps. It’s a Chinese radio. Cost about $450. They have them on Amazon Pretty cool radios. Android is the base OS. The “tablet is detachable from the headunit. It uses a cable to connect to the headunit. I hid the headunit in the dash. Then I...

Redoing some of the dash and some of the wiring on the gauges. There were wires going everywhere. A little more cleanup and it’ll go back in. Also got the center dash rebuilt. Hid the headunit and mounted the screen.

a VIDEO from last Saturday. My Buddy did some drone videoing up above Bountiful. Either the gate is permanently down, or someone ripped it down. I saw a Sheriff driving up behind other people, so I guess its okay?

Got some plumbing done in the engine bay. Got to take it for a little drive tonight.

Intercooler is cleaned. And the radiator showed. I reassembled the frame. And then reinstalled.

Ok. Rear glass install. A bit stressful but it went well. Removed the van sides. Rear glass installed. Unfortunately we thought this was a complete kit. But the damn Brit’s got us again. Had to order the rear quarter glass. It’ll be here probably next week. It should be much easier to...

Spent last night fixing the door windows and putting in all the window channels properly. Nothing really exciting to show in those pictures. I welded on some new tabs to mount my 9” led lights. The original mounts on the bumper were only spread far enough apart to mount 5” lights. And we all...

But the are a huge pain in the butt to install. The interior apace is pretty tight already. There are other options though.

Better than this option

They look like this.

Hoping to have it all mostly ready to go next weekend. The rest will just be details: Stereo system, CB Radio, Lights, maybe a Ham Radio, Rear storage drawer, a subwoofer, larger alternator, etc, and a third row seat for the little ones, and a roll cage, (External of course)

Oh yeah the front vent seals.

I’m pretty much out of parts already. Except for the other door cards. But I forgot to order the plastic door card retainers. So I ordered those. I also ordered some door lock parts and door handle parts. And then some fender chewier plate. And to finish everything off. A silicone intercooler...

I also replaced the rear glass in the rear door. And installed the door card for the rear door. And some windshield trim.

Next up the winch. The battery is inside the truck in the center console. But that’s a lot better then where they usually are under the seat. I may be adding one under the hood so it’s easy to hook the winch to it.

So did a bunch today. Mostly worked on door seals, vent seals, carpet install and I took the winch off my Range Rover and put it on this Defender. And probably a bunch of other things I’ve forgotten I did already. We will start with carpet. Hopefully this will cut down on the tin box feeling.

I’ve had LED headlights for a number of years. If you buy more expensive ones. You get better quality of light. I buy 5600k lights usually. That’s a true white. I don’t like the blue tinted LEDs. The LED off-road lights and headlights seem to make plenty of heat to keep ice off them. Like...
