Got some plumbing done in the engine bay.

Got to take it for a little drive tonight.

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?

I am so in love with this rig...

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.

What head unit is that? Have you used it before? Do you like them?

 

[sawtooth4x4]

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 just unhook the the screen and take it with me if I want it secure.

It comes with a dedicated GPS glonas antenna as well.

Had to get it outside to clean up the mess in the garage. Took a couple pictures.

So I haven’t updated in awhile. I’ve been in the UK with my business partner buying a few more defenders.

But I did finally get over the Jet lag last night and finished a few more items up.

Finally fixed up all the doors but one. Speakers and stereo are all installed. The front dash is all fixed and rebuilt.

And I turned up the injection pump for some more power. It kept stalling out on steep hills. It’s much better now but I might turn it up a little more.

Couple pictures.

New infinity component speakers in the front doors. Hooked to the Chinese android stereo. Sounds good.

Plus all the sound proofing we’ve done have cut the noise tons.

Took it out to the Spiral Jetty today. Nothing extreme. But fun non the less

 

[sawtooth4x4]

A few more

So is this one yours to keep or is this for sale also when your finished with it?

 

[sawtooth4x4]

It will be for sale. Just need to finish up a few more more items.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Working on the rear seat mounts. Came out pretty good. Had to tig weld it all because my Hrabor Freight MIG welder finally died after 5 years of hard labor.

A few pictures. Still have to mount the seats. But the paint is still drying.

I've always loved how the Defenders look. Not sure how I missed your recent posts on this, looking good!!

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Seats are in and bolted down. Happy day. Just have to patch a few holes to fit the seats.

Also installed the carpet over the rear seat hump.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Project is finally all complete pictures coming soon.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Changed out the wheels and tires for some others we had. Finished up a bunch of small things, windows, doors etc. Its pretty much done, just have to do a few little items and she's all done.

I really think the Land Rover Series/Defender is the iconic off-road vehicle. More so than any other make or model; they just look the part. So badass.

Now only if they would come out with an Offender model....

 

[4x4_Welder]

That does look awesome.
Did these come with an automatic? Was it something ok or a complete slushbox? My wife can't drive a manual anymore, but if something like this were to be opened up as an option I'd probably have to go that route.
