Land Rover Defender

Land Rover Defender (1996, 200 000km)
by envolemoi

We travelled with a Land Rover Defender 90, ute cab-chassis. When we bought it, in Brisbane, Australia, the back was a grid covered with a military-like fabric. In Malaysia, we built an aluminium and glass-fiber cabin. We would sleep 60% of the time in the back of the car, so it was perfect! For cooking, we had to get the table and chairs outside, and we had a cool double-stove cooker and gas bottle. For the storage, we have 4 home-made cupboards. A great car for an Overland expedition :)
