DEFENDER
In September 2023 I bought a 2008 Land Rover Defender 110. It was in an okay condition but definitely needed some work. I plan on fully restoring the truck so I’m confident every single part will last. I also plan on building it out as a camper/expedition vehicle with the hopes of one day soon setting off for an extended period of traveling the world in my Defender like so many have done before me.
