Massive respect for the classic British motor. What a machine. 👍🏻

[@JamesSecretofski]

I like how the dude was a bit shy at the start and then got proud and started talking about his rig.

[@garyfindlay5503]

As someone that has owned and used land rovers for years, moving the fuse box like that is the best idea I have heard yet!

[@Mrypants31]

“How’s it going Ronnie” ...”good mate you?” “Good mate, how about yourself”

[@nelsonkaiulo402]

Typical Australians trying act as if they care how everyones doing.🤣

[@aussieblokebeerreviews8010]

Never really looked at L R's before,this rig has got my eyebrow raised,bloody tough looking rig with some nice mods 👍

[@nigelclatworthy7763]

I have a 2002 double cab 130 trayback in NZ. It has 325,000 kms on the clock and never misses a beat. I have Ironman 50mm lift and also cranked radius arms. 255/85/16 BFG Mud terrains. I would love this vehicle it's very well set up.

[@lebutch078]

One of the best rigs on here... Cheers for showing it off

[@wizardorlegend]

Lol Ronny running away in the wing mirror. There is only 2 things I would add to this and they are reversing cameras, one above the rear tow bar activated off the reverse gear selection to help you judge how far you can go back and another mounter at the highest point on the rear tray permanently on, acting as a rear view mirror. Absolutely awesome 130. You've got things on this that every defender owner wants.

[@dmbassett]

Nice 130. I learned to drive in a 110 V8. Have a massive soft spot for the Defender. There’s just something about them especially looking out over that squared off bonnet. More LR’s please Ronny!

[@leglessegg]

CUB: Cashed up bogan! Nice rig champ

[@The416punchaman]

Thank you for sharing this amazing build! Great interview and video as always! Cheers from Toronto

[@castlesurfco]

drops $100k on 4WD still wears a unit shirt from 2004.. mans got his priorities right!

[@tysononeil4804]

Probably like 300k with all the mods

[@matthewhawkins106]

G'day Ronny and hello to you Justin. Just a pointer mate, you can easily fit an 80 litres custom made reserve fuel tank in underneath your tray quite easily. I did so with my 130 a few years ago by making it a simple gravity feed tank, by cutting off the fuel spout nozzle and installing a T - piece section made out of stainless, along with a screw valve, and then reconnecting the fuel spout onto that. I used a stainless steel fuel spout that I bought from a boat shop, and used 2 " stainless pipe and elbows, along with making up a breather tube. Unfortunately I also used some proper industrial fuel hose to make the final connection between the top of the reserve tank, and pipe that runs to it from the filler spout, but if you were to make it all out of pipe work and elbows, it would be a much better design and system. Stainless was the choice for mine, however, I reckon I could have used something else. All you need to do is use the current angle bar under your tray as mount for the tank, and can easily weld in some booker bar thread with nits as well, say 1/2 booker bar would be perfect and suitable to pass modification standards. With my 130, I have 75/80 litres from the primary plastic tank, and I have 80 litres from the reserve. So then, when I get down to a 1/4 tank of fuel or less, I get out and switch the reserve on, and it takes a just a few minutes to fill back up, even when driving on the go. Cheers, Matthew

[@torashnal]

Cheers Ronny!! Not the 110 but equivalent and this setup gives us heaps of ideas on new mods.

[@twhaz2001]

Very well thought out machine. Thanks for sharing

[@coadyg]

Need to get some cup holders for in front of the aircons works great for cold drinks on a long trip. Great truck I have a 130 and 110 but 130 is the best for expedition camping.

[@dianacarroll8860]

Ronny you have to track down a 110 station wagon for a video , it's got to be the ultimate overland vehicle , look at its heritage the camel trophy expeditions then the G4 challenge series , either in the basic 300tdi or td5 engine .

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+Diana Carroll I had one lined up but something happened to it. Will try him again or find another one

[@fordifile]

mate if you are ever on the east coast with some camera gear give us a shout, check out my 110 on my channel. now twin locked on 35's

i edit up a video of our trip to fraser soon ,blow your mind ,some nice rigs will run through some of the mods brand new 79s duel cabs tricked out with best gear a new hilux that has some serious off road touring suspension and hole lot of bar work and bolt ons , up to 12 on this trip all have big dollars spent on them some are still being decked out , then cap york is next trip ,

[@robmacca67]

Great Truck.... Love the 130's but I still prefer the 110 atm but I would have both if I could afford them.... The guy needs to get some facts right as the "Nugget Stuff" actually is made here in Australia & based in Queensland I believe. The std fuel tank size is only 75ltrs I believe out of the factory. The ScanGauge that he has can also be adjusted to cater for larger tyres as well so the speed reading will be accurate. I also thought nearly CRD Diesels had Fuel Coolers?? I know our '10 Prado does.....

[@lElBorgs]

he was referring to the factory speedo being out after rubber upgrade

[@simon762321]

Cuuuuute

[@fredbrackely]

These are like hens teeth. Can't even get a good one in the UK. This Defender was a good investment. Worth a bit more?, Justin probably doubled his value. Anyway, bigger issue - who keeps rating these vids down?

[@Willemmoseley]

Yeah 130s are the Dog's bollocks, especially the Pumas are near impossible to get your hands on. All of them are ex-contractors and have been ragged.

[@cjeam9199]

Willem Moseley Aren't they a bit too big really? 110s are so much more common for any sort of trips

[@Josefselvadek]

Nice vids ! Are you perhaps planning on making a "modified episode" for the Toyota 90 (Prado) series ? Thanks ;-)

[@africa2outback682]

Ronny, Quick Pitch Campers have a Defender 110 they are rigging up for a client. This thing will have all the bells and whistles. Just a thought if you wanted to do a vid on one.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+Africa2Outback cheers for letting me know I'll ask yakkie about it👍

[@cbasshd6382]

Ronnie would you recommend anyone doing the "Big 3" upgrade on there rigs .

[@phoenixinflames1]

What's under the driver seat as that's where the fuses used to be

[@helmutkafer1747]

Bonnet and doors are made of steel from 2007 onwards! So beware the tinworm and contact corrosion (rivnuts in the bonnet)!

[@LTT.Official]

Would love to see a grand vitara and the possibilities that's got.

Be nice to know what tune he put in it so many out there and I'm looking to put one in my 110 and I'm located in Perth too.

[@Stylemaster911]

Had no idea these were made until 2015! They stopped production in '98 due to Emissions requirements in North America. Any plans to get a G Wagon single cab? I know a few were made, not sure how popular they are in Aus, though- they weren't sold in NA. Also, seriously cool vehicle!

[@dnekjfkskls6380]

Steve LaForce They're as rare as hens teeth here. Though must admit they do look pretty bad-ass!

[@tforest3816]

will ronny be making an appearance at the perth 4x4 show this year??

[@krover01]

He must be well off, thats an expensive setup!

[@machinezen9785]

I like the end of the episode when they were just shooting the shit and talking about the bush and racing etc. Too bad you cut it short could have listened to you guys talk about the aussie outback scene and the racing and even get into a bit more about things in general for longer , podcast style

[@Aidan.17]

Defender Fuel Coolers keep fuel cool the Disco 3 has one as well. Diesel burns optimally at 45c if it gets above this will set a DTC and if above 90c the ECU will forcefully shut car down to avoid damaging the pump/injectors. This is why diesels have fuel temp sensors.

[@andrewpedersen5071]

Yup the owner has no idea what he is talking about, it also reduces the risk of diesel bug.

[@banger0250]

Any modified Mitsubishi challenger's you can cover?

[@mattluszczak8095]

i would take that over the 79. 130, the original double cab

[@jaydenpetersen4514]

Plz do a Holden RC Colorado

[@danielcocks3195]

Ronny can you please do a 120 series Prado modified Thx mate

[@aflaz171]

Yeah rolling in money!

[@benstraughan2940]

Could you see about getting a Subaru on? XV/Crosstrek and a Forester would be cool.

[@TheGhostofgatsby]

They're not 4WDs though...

[@benstraughan2940]

Not all of them but I've seen some pretty gnarly 4WD Subaru builds before.
