Quick Update - Working on the Land Rover Defender 110

Preparing for the next big trip, our 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 gets some 12V upgrades, including a Switch-Pros 9100, and some light restoration behind the dashboard. This quick update shares what I've been up to for the past few weeks!

This is the way almost every project goes for everyone.

[@coobyraccoon]

Love these shed tinkering videos. Very relatable.

[@eugeneenslow8563]

Wow, it's been months, many months since you showed up in my feed. Good to see you!

[@tfcooks]

I was a little worried at first about the land rover being right hand drive because it can be dangerous when you pass other vehicles. Then I realized it's a diesel land rover, you wont be passing anyone. 😁

[@venture4wd]

True! 😂

[@sparkstyson]

You got me addicted to KZbin. Keep making your videos

[@venture4wd]

Thank you - more to come!

The ARB may overheat in a tight confined space like that. The cooling fan blows over the motor cooling fins and the compressor heads and out right between the air intakes. With no room for the hot air to escape quickly it gets sucked in the compressor. It’s a positive feedback and will possibly overheat. I know, I made this very mistake. Also if you’re not using an air reservoir, change the pressure switch to 70 PSI. It will not reduce the speed at which it pumps up a tire.

I ran a spare 9wire 12 ga cable from radiator area to rear bumper. Dead headed both ends. As my vehicle upgrades continue I have an extra ace in the hole in the waiting. I worked in a factory wiring truck bodies. Always solder and heat tube each splice and connections. Doing that will save alot of grief down a bumpy offtrail..

[@LongWalkerActual]

Excellent idea!! 👍

[@rodneyross5282]

You can't wait I sure as hell cannot wait lol. Hurry up I need my weekly fix of Venture4wd. God bless in all things.

[@paisano777]

That odometer fix is wild! Lol

[@Earlywinters09]

You're a brave man digging into the wiring on the Land Rover 😆

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

Agreed

[@gregmgm06]

Excellent! I love videos like this. Looks like the Defender is getting some great upgrades.

[@calsurflance5598]

Glad to see the Defender is getting some love. I know I don’t need to tell you but carry plenty of water!💦💦💦Arizona is already starting to cook. Be safe and stay well.

[@WolfOverland]

A sound dampening spray in liner would be a good idea in the cabin to quiet it up. Raptor liner roll In the bed. I love you you are restoring the truck. 🤘

[@southhillfarm2795]

Major project. Looking forward to the results.

[@Solvefunction]

Great build, can't wait to see it traveling again

[@jackbjack]

Why buy a vehicle if YOU can’t tear it apart and make it what YOU want! Chris- I concur with venting the ARB by moving the intake filters…maybe via some drilled holes in that cubby.

[@jonburtt8768]

Hey buddy, I’d suggest cutting out some of that seat mount either front or rear and adding a stainless steel louvered vent for air flow. Last thing you want is that twin arb overheating under there.

[@odysseyusa]

It’s so easy to carry a nice, rechargeable Bluetooth speaker in there event you want music …I’d do same thing.

[@johndiaz7240]

Good upgrade 👍

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

It's looking good. I wouldn't attempt that. I'm not good at wiring. I'd end up burning it up but seems you're doing all right on it. So looking forward to the rest. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

[@benjaminmarkmartin]

Chris, I thought about you today! Have you had the Big Cheese-it at Taco Bell? 😀

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

😂😂

[@venture4wd]

Oh yeah, wouldn’t miss out on trying that!

[@Mink_24]

Need a wooden steering wheel to match the shift knobs & seat covers.

[@venture4wd]

That is indeed on the wish list :)

[@voodoo36x]

Double check that your ARB can be wired into the Switch Pro. I have the ARB twin and an S-Pod......the techs at S-Pod suggest NOT WIRING an air compressor to a switch panel, but to wire it directly to the battery.

[@hikingff77]

I am a torn viewer, I am very happy where you are in life (house, cars, career, lady), but I'm also missing the in the middle of nowhere adventure videos, AZ is great and all, but it seems to be the same every adventure.

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

[@rusti7447]

you going to overland expo PNW?

[@venture4wd]

No, we are not planning to attend any expos this year

[@user-oo4sj5bq5x]

You need a head unit or some kind of bluethooth speakers. You should never wear Airpods or any other buds/headphones when driving. It's very dangerous, and illegal in many states.
