[@92fitty]

As another, let's be honest, older guy, what a joy to see someone who has come to so many of the same conclusions as one's self. I agree about drawer systems, I too use really useful boxes and agree that the simplest solution is always the best. I too , write a list on every trip of things that can be improved and that list will probably never end. i do envy your instruments but I have never had problems without some you have. I have awinch and have only ever used it to rescue other people, as you say, just because a vehicle can do it doesn't mean you have to. Overlanding the protection of your vehicle is your first priority and the second.

[@defendermodsandtravels]

Age is in the mind. There's an Australan guy who publishes good channel about roaming the outback. He says he wouldn't dare to climb on to a roof rack for fear of falling off and injuring himself. He is more than 30 years younger than me. It makes me smile. I fully agree about the importance of protecting one's vehicle. This is one of the major themes in Tom Sheppard's Expedition Handbook.

[@Ghanim.M]

Bless you for sharing your wonderful wisdom! My wife and I are looking to purchase our first Defender 90 (First Land Rover to be precise!) and we are very excited. I don't like to buy into the "newest and greatest new gadget" but I find myself sometimes going down that road and I must snap myself out of it. Now I'm going to watch all you other videos and try to absorb as much as I can! By the way, We recently moved to Portugal (from Canada) and it would be awesome to meet up on your way south to Portugal. Cheers

[@defendermodsandtravels]

Which part of Portugal? My property there is in the Alentejo. The Defender is currently in South Africa. I have total confidence that my modest set up, without all the gadjets and gizmos, will have everything I need for the trip here. If you are looking to buy a Defender in Portugal there are a reasonable number if you are prepared to be patient. The big advantage is that if you can find a good one it will be rust free. Also remember that a 90 is very tight for overlanding and a 110 is better suited for most travellers Good travels friend.

[@Ghanim.M]

@@defendermodsandtravels We were in Lagos for a couple months, but now we are looking for a place in and around Lisbon. I agree that being patient is very important and I'm trying to find the best example that is within my budget. It's frustrating how much more expensive cars are here compared to Spain, but it is what it is. I was debating between the 110 and 90 (I even considered a soft dash 300tdi Range Rover classic and upgrade the 2 pin diff with 4 pin, a small lift and skinny tall tires, it has good A/C and heat haha) However, when I factor the cost (clean 110 costs 35kEuro+, 90 28kEuro+, and a RRC 25k). We're kind of "gently" guided towards the 90 haha.

[@defendermodsandtravels]

@@Ghanim.M Good luck with the search.. I agree that the standard Rover diff is very weak and needs to be upgraded (note it actually has one pin / 2 satellite gears although is often called "2 pin"). The two pin / 4 gear diffs are pretty rare. I installed an Ashcroft limited slip diff at the rear. This is v. strong, not too expensive and of course gives added traction. It's a worthwhile mod. For further strength I had the crown wheel pegged. Look at the Ashcroft web site for more info.

[@Onward4x4]

Real overlanders... overland. Clear box or not. :) Thanks for the video-very informative.

[@matth8445]

What a brilliant video! Your straightforward honesty and sound logic are a breath of fresh air when one is drowning in videos extolling the virtues of one gadget or gizmo or the new "must have" to be a proper overlander. I confess..I do have a winch and have only used it in anger on a handful of occasions, I also have "wolf" boxes....but mine are SA army ammo boxes, brown in colour and smuggled into the UK during my time working in Botswana :-) they do fit nicely underneath my home made shelf system. Definitely subscribed👍🙌

[@defendermodsandtravels]

I find that the latest "must have" gadget is an induction cooker which requires a 2kW inverter, 300Ah batteries (lithium of course), a charging and battery management system to suit, and shore power which means a generator if there"s no hook up available. And all of this to replace a $50 gas cooker which probably works better in any case. The overlanding world is a very odd place indeed. PS you are forgiven for the Wolf boxes. I was just having a quiet prod.

[@Adindrark]

You sir, are a real overlander. Excellent video and beautiful vehicle.

[@defendermodsandtravels]

Real overlanders? There are many in the community who think that unless you have spent at least £30,000 on upgrades you don't qualify. I doubt if I spent much more than a tenth of that on this old bus so I don't qualify for the badge. However she does the job just fine.

[@roycraggs3822]

Practical advice obviously based on wide experience. I use Land Rovers on a daily basis for work (110 & Discovery 300 TDI) and I agree with your reasons for choosing a Land Rover for operating in the UK. Plus, they have a characteristic lacking in most other 4x4s. I agree that a lot of after-market accessories are overpriced, and are often bought for the bling factor, rather than being wholly practical. Also, many other videos of off- road vehicles feature presenters who are driven by the desire to promote the firms that have supplied them with free kit. If you mention a manufacturer/supplier, I get the impression that it is for the most sound of reasons, ie, the gear is fit for purpose.

[@defendermodsandtravels]

You are indeed correct that I don't get showered with free, expensive accessories through my hobby YT channel. Even if that happened I would of course give an honest opinion on the accessory, good or bad.

I plan to do some trips in my old 109 1968 ute and will have a similar approach in $ to value. Thanks for the great videos.

[@defendermodsandtravels]

Better the devil you know than the one you don''t. I couldn't face converting another vehicle and also making it reliable. Other big advantage of the 90 is the manoeuvrability. I often find I have to extricate myself from very tight spaces which wouldn't be possible with a larger vehicle. Reliability will be the subject of a future video.

Well said man, hi from loch lomond, yes I agree over priced stuff, I've made most myself as well

[@defendermodsandtravels]

I am happy to pay the necessary money for good quality parts and accessories which add value to the vehicle but not for over-priced stuff which has little function. I enjoy the Road Chose Me channel where the author, Dan Grec, says that when he goes to overlanding shows he finds that most of the kit on offer has a total disconnect with what he actually needs when on a major trip. As you can see, I have ended up with a combination of bought in and self made accessories, and I rarely buy from the big name brands. I think that the things I have made myself are better than anything available in the market.

Thank you for sharing your LR and you points of view which I share to the largest extent. I have owned my 3rd LR Discovery 300Tdi since 2000 (bought the "old/new" one since 98 was the last electronic free version). I see my Discovery with similar eyes and drove it in Africa, Asia & Europe keeping it as OME as possible. I saw one gadget you didn't mention the "Racor Water Seperator"! Is it to separate the water from the fuel - diesel I suppose? There should be already one on the chassis near the right rear wheel!?

[@defendermodsandtravels]

Hi Georg, I once had the unpleasant experience of being sold contaminated diesel in Hungary. The water overwhelmed the sedimenter and fuel filter and went through the injector pump and injectors. It also destroyed the fuel lift pump. Although I was able to get going again and return home the fuel system had to be completely refurbished or replaced at considerable trouble and expense. I have replaced the sedimentor with a prefilter with a transparent bowl so I can see if there's contamination. The unit you refer to is a water in fuel alarm so I can stop before any water reaches the engine. If you don't have this you don't know you have a problem until the engine starts misfiring. You will find a couple of videos on Contaminated Diesel on my channel which tell the whole story.

In reality your type of overlanding and mine are very different. I rarely go down tracks, however bad, which aren't used by the locals. Even in it's fairly standard form the Defender is much more capable than most vehicles using the tracks. I get into trouble occasionally but not very often. I have to be cautious because I usually travel alone.

Nice defender! Quick question, I've never seen that radiator you have on the bulkhead before, did it come with your vehicle or is it something one can buy?

The winterised ex-military Defenders have a couple of these radiators in the rear tub to warm the squaddies' feet. When I fitted the water tank and storage boxes in the rear I had to take them out and I put the better one on the rear bulkhead. I imagine you might be able to locate one at one of the ex-military dealers (PA Blanchard or LR Series). I still have one somewhere but it has been well kicked by the squaddies.

[@defendermodsandtravels]

Hi, thanks for the connent. Any of the engines mentioned will do the job. The 200 tdi was the first decent LR diesel. The main drawback is that parts are getting scarce. Brett at Roaming the Outback uses a 30 yr old 200 tdi with few problems. The 300 tdi is a more refined version of the 200 tdi and spares are still plentiful. There was a problem with the cambelts on the early engines and Land Rover released an upgrade kit. If you get a 300 tdi make sure it has the later cambelt design. Other points? It has an Al cylinder head which will distort if the engine overheats. The water pump is mounted high and iis ineffective if you allow the water level to fall so be vigilant. The Td5 had about 25% more power than the Tdi engines and it can be chipped for even more power. It was the first Defender with electronics so if you are doing an overland trip it would be wise to carry a spare ECU. I don't know much about the Tdci except that it came from the Ford Transit van ao it's a very common engine. Best of luck finding a good Defender.

[@tombulli1236]

I don't agree with your comment about the compressor. Many people buy high powered compressors just to have the luxury (and bragging rights) of reinflating their tyres in double quick time. I have also known 4x4 owners buy these compressors because they look the part but have never actually used them in anger.
