Building my DREAM Defender!!! Pop top roof conversion

[@chrisjopling1178]

Deciding what you want to do with every car you buy and actually following through with it until it’s finished is something I’ll never accomplish in life but I’ll watch every one on this channel 😅

[@kevinwright3141]

Lesson in life as a whole here; as a Project Manager by trade, planning, executing and closing every project is rewarding. I advise everyone to have a project, it helps with focus and purpose, and yes, midway through you will question the cost, effort and your sanity, but see it through! Completing things brings huge pride, don't give up (outside work, I have many projects including a VW T5 and a Jag XJ, a VW Lupo, and a 200 year old house)

[@jordanwright13]

Whilst I love the cooking sections of the videos, the best part is always watching Andy smile and say ‘you’ve done it again’

[@kevinwright3141]

Only one place in Europe to go and after years of wanting to go, I managed to do so earlier this year. And that place is Norway. What a place! by far the most beautiful country I have ever visited! It's one of those places that's a must for any road trip fans, but a bugger to get to by road, which makes it all the more rewarding!!! Epic roads and tunnels, snow capped mountains, waterfalls, crystal clear fjords, clean and tidy, lovely people!

[@cbetty2008]

I would just enjoy your holiday pal You provide us watching with more than enough content. So just enjoy your time to your self xx Much love x

[@benpierrie]

Those throwback items were more than enough to make to make an instant purchase! Also a Nurburgring ring lap in the chop top defender would be jokes!

[@jackbk2721]

29:34 very good place for a light bar !

[@cgp7781]

I am really enjoying the car content as of recent, makes a nice change from the super unrealistic content some of the other creators are doing! this is more real world and being from the UK that makes it even better! Plus watching your mechanical experience evolve is nice coming from a plant mechanic you have come along way in a short space of time!

[@nick47777]

100% film the trip, just the stuff that goes wrong so you’ll get a whole video out of it 😂

[@EmoryChurchil]

100% film bit's of the trip, love the adventure stuff you guys do.

[@thedefenderfamily]

Jeez, that was quite a project! Congrats, amazing how all our Defenders differ from each other but they are all freaking awesome!

[@FEZZIE]

Lake Como footage would be class.

[@danielmarques9278]

Just got back from 3 weeks and 2,300 miles around Europe in the Camper, best trip I’ve ever done! Hyped for this! Dolomites were my highlight. We started filming but ended up just enjoying it - video doesn’t do it justice!

[@doohiky]

Absolutely no question you should film the trip fellas. Have a class time too mind x

[@speedymaniaclimited]

Who doesn’t love a great pair of shorts. Literally live in them.

[@harrypavey9329]

I tip I have seen for when you’re carpeting, if you need to cut around anything or make holes; use a soldering iron, works a treat 👌

[@connorY0KAI4T7]

Compilation of highlights from each of you would be mean, different perspectives and favourite moments all rolled into one. Nice for you lot to look back at too!

[@iTreFingerboard]

“I’m tuggin so wait til you can feel it” Andy: 0_o Mini webisodes for the travels??

[@TK-Touring]

Can't get enough of the Defender content 🙌 looking forward to the trip

[@daniellee6281]

100% video the highlights of the trip convince others to do the same aswrll as anything that goes wrong, love what you guys do keep it up

[@ryanbunning7595]

Couldn't remember if I'd watched this, so ended up watching it all again. Half way through I realised I had, but I kept going because I love a good defender vid. That road trip is going to be epic 🤌

[@JamesBalazs]

Since you asked, I always peel my oranges in one! 😂 Do the circumference but stop before you get all the way round, then peel the top then the bottom. Huge waste of time but I started doing it as a kid and cant stop.

[@edashmancox7893]

I’m new to this channel and it’s everything I needed he ride bikes has cool cars does diy stuff and to top it off has a cooking segment in the middle of the vid. ( the sealer on your fingers whilst speed chopping an onion… absolutely class)

[@kyle111572]

1000% film a mini series of the trip!! I’m sure I speak on behalf on loadsss of people. Would be so sick😎

[@willjp2958]

Definitely film the interesting bits, it’s like everyone’s dream to do a big roadtrip in a ropey old thing and for it to be a defender is pretty cool!

[@grivlar]

Yes film. Go to the Ardeche gorge region in southern France. Alot of outdoor fun to be had.

[@SB-lh1kb]

If you film anything when you’re away on your trip. Please do a few cooking videos of what you eat over there. I really enjoy them !

[@mackie_p]

Cheers boys!!!! Of course film the trip. Also, always love lunch time with the boys!!

[@BadtasteNUFC]

land rovers and cooking love it.

[@robin_marriott]

Def film some stuff. I’ve just got back from a 3000 mile trip through Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland and it was incredible. Switzerland was the best driving I’ve ever done.

[@tobydoughty4613]

Yes definitely film it, cooking and your set up ✌🏻🤞🏻

[@noel5874]

Hello, I appreciate that you want it to be more of a holiday, but filming even some of the trip would be great content and I’m sure all your followers/fans would love to see it.

[@JCR.Visual]

I still have the OG logo black lanyard, camo lanyard and a purple one floating about somewhere, plus a pint cup that i put all my Boqer rubber wristbands on!

[@landroverlandyman]

Yes definitely agree you should share your experience on your road trip 👍

[@Modernwoolfare]

Been eyeing up a Pippin Top for ages and they're unbeatable for the money

[@Retrobeemer]

*Yes to filming a bit of your travels and the conversion to the roof is epic!*

[@BryHrzN]

God, I remember winning and having Boq show my comment in one video and being sent out one of those old yellow BQR lanyards.. still got it!!

[@900pokeman]

Definitely want to see some of the trip, but don’t let it get in the way of you relaxing and enjoying your holiday!

[@M.C.L.O.W]

I would say film as much as you can to document such a monumental journey with the trusty old landy to look back at when your older

[@grahameroberts8109]

Of course you should film parts of your trip. How else can we travel vicariously with you? Great job so far. Get into it. 👍🏻🙏👍🏻

[@pezzyuk]

Definitely! Couple of vids of the trip would go hard.

[@mikehughes6131]

Boq me and the missus have just tried your recipe from this video. Bro that was unreal Definitely adding that to our weekly shop 👌🏼

[@fredddddddddg]

Roof looks class! Please film some of the big trip!!!

[@BikeAlf]

I just want to see what you’re eating on the trip! Love a cooking segment

[@harrywills58]

loving these videos, cant wait to see the whole trip but have a feeling the builds the best bit

[@NafeLive]

Still got all my old Lanyards and rubber wristbands (got one round the gearstick in my car) and glad to see the shorts have returned as they're easily my favourite pair to wear to this day 😆

[@JRenny08]

Andy’s seal noises killed me

[@mousymcd]

peeling an orange in one, is both easy and satisfying

[@JayMorgan-p9e]

2 of my favourite things, food and cars banging combo

[@samhickin9304]

8:07 I’ve got a bottle opener when you first even brought them out I use it all the time it’s sick

[@lloydyp1]

Definitely film parts of the trip! You guys inspire me

[@mattiecalnan_2972]

Andy special definitely needs to happen! Come on andy😂👏🏼

[@snzyanu5634]

Boq we need a yearly cookbook released every Christmas with all the recipes from the videos!

[@carsonstickels6914]

Yea! It’s a deep trip I’d love to see some.

[@HannesK]

Love everything Defender you do

[@isaacberry5023]

Best of luck on the trip. Hope you’re trying some wild camping along the way. Film or don’t, it’s ur holiday. The views there are so good you’ll end up taking a lot of pictures

[@flat4kalex659]

Gotta enjoy the adventure yourself, but a cool thing to see would be a cook up in Italy or how the defender handles the mountains

[@charlieellis3143]

Looking forward to mobile cooking segments and local cuisine reviews on the big trip

[@harrywatts1258]

yes film as much of the trip as possible sounds like a great trip!

[@boqer123]

you win dude! Drop us an email to [e-mail] WELL DONE

[@ScottPC]

Andy standing at 40-50mph is the life hahah.

[@phillips321]

100% film bits of the trip! You need to video the choas caused when the defender plays up.... make sure you take a spare wheel bearing kit and 52mm socket!

[@casey-todd785]

100% gotta film bits of the trip, but enjoy much deserved my guy 👍

[@io2738]

Mint vid!! Pop top is the dream on a 110

[@dubcallum2925]

Couple beers and some cooking overlooking some nice views 🙌👍

[@shona5512]

Yep I'm definitely going to have to follow some of these cooking recipes. Looks so good

[@jamestyrrell2225]

This channel is class. Would be amazing if andy got some type of car for you guys to work on though, hes always helping you so much i feel hes owed a build series 🤔🥲 the defender and tbe e36 is like my dream 2 car set up now 😬

[@DJR61999]

A few bits and pieces filmed from the trip would be stellar. Even just some of the highlights so it doesnt take away from the "holiday" feeling!

[@Bugoutvehiclesuk]

That’s awesome. I’m surprised the kit doesn’t come pre rig nutted and the hinge and struts fitted.

[@boqer123]

That would add costs though and it’s aiming at people who don’t mind a bit of diy!

[@bananajuice3143]

Definitely film the trip and also definitely come to Switzerland for a beer

[@BlaineWilletts]

I think you should film the whole trip big up BQR all day everyday🦾🦾

[@lebakwe61]

We hope you film the trip the good and the bad.. 😁 cheers mate.

[@kofifarley8728]

Definitely film the trip it’ll be awesome!

[@jayt561]

Yes definitely film some cool bits but got to make sure you have a holiday too

[@brianwheeler9069]

Brilliant to see a DIY pop top done. Fantastic job keep up with the great content, I would love to see some of your epic European mammoth trip. Cheers Brian

[@garretkarlsen7310]

For sure film some B-roll stuff on scenic pretty roads. Possibly find some skate parks like the old days

[@davidyates8153]

Highly recommend a lof clutch and single mass flywheel I’ve got one in my disco and 3 of my friends have aswell

[@lukewayne3173]

YES FILM BITS OF THE TRIP.

[@s12michael]

Yes! 100% film part of the trip

[@ehrenfermor4703]

[@mxpurnell]

Epic conversion! And LOVE the cooking segs Boq! You can't beat an Andy food reaction too haha!

[@J.R_EDC]

You have to show some amazing views. And been a watcher since early webisode days. Massive big up to boq what a lad.

[@thilmor4194]

This is such and awesome addition to the defender! Makes me want one sooo bad. I’d love to see some highlights of the trip for sure, if your into it🤟

[@tomcobbing]

That bottle opener is a mainstay in my wallet and has saved me so many times, what a bit of kit

[@spvidz]

Definitely keen for some trip clips! Love them shorts too 👀

[@elliottcash4117]

[@joshr2428]

[@maxryan1127]

Be cool to see the trip makes me motivated to sort my D2 out and put a other roof tent on it

[@ToyTehShammy]

Love the videos been watching since the start of the defender keel them coming!

[@AntonioNeto98.]

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH LET ME GET A PLATE THO! Would be nice to see a bit of the road trip!

[@jamesfearon1998]

Please film some of the trip! Loving the defender content, keep it coming!

[@siroberts6860]

The bright wristbands would go with the shorts 👌🏻

[@meister_harris5623]

Should defo put a BQR “sunstrip” style sticker on the front part where the roof is, would look well mint👌

[@RockyJRT]

Yes film the highlights of the trip for sure, but enjoy it as well

[@AyrtonMcNamee-zq1ot]

Video a 60 second summary video with in the hall of the mountain king playing with things getting progressively more chaotic thx for the shorts xx

[@Ciaransadventures]

I think your flat dog roof rack and old roof top tent would look class on my 110

[@xHypnoToad]

He's done it again!
