We Upgraded Richard Hammond’s Defender in 24 Hours!

[@Drivetribe]

What should we do to Richard's Defender next? 🤔 Thanks to Liqui Moly for sponsoring today's video, check out their new car care products here: bit.ly/LiquiMoly-24-CARCARE

[@pad3357]

Some interior bits, Alcantara headliner ??

[@crissyb00]

What to do next? Step one. Undo everything you just did. You spent 5k and turned it into paris hiltons handbag. Step two, take it to mahker, they have a clue how to build a landrover.

[@exmoortrim622]

We would be more than happy to help with the next step in upgrading Richard's Defender! Interior Upgrades, Seats, Carpet, Cubby Boxes & CNC Manufactured Billet aluminium internal and external accessories, Made in Britain! All the best Exmoor Trim

[@padc64]

Well, with the new aero in the back, the front needs to step up. How about a China splitter? Just what a defender needs. 🤷🏼

[@DarrenCoull]

If it is still prone to breaking greasy bits, perhaps some choice drivetrain upgrades to make it tougher and of course more power to help move the brown barn through the air a bit quicker?

[@WarpedWorldWeird]

Richard didn't notice the tiny spoiler they put on the back of it, I'm absolutely gutted about that

[@eldorado5319]

Same here

[@docnele]

I hope he will brag with the mods to Clarkson... he will surely notice it ;)

[@dannyyates2524]

Y would he he's not tall enough.

[@MR_EDIT75]

Same

[@Nobody___]

He’s going to die laughing when he notices it naturally tho i bet

[@chris_ndinguri]

The Kenyan bracelet 🇰🇪 Much love watching from Kenya ❤

[@KevWilOG]

Sounds like Richard would appreciate whatever drivetrain frailties he mentioned being beefed up.

[@theylivewesleep.5139]

“You’re not putting tartan on it are you?” Hilarious

[@Gurbe1]

Oi! I spy a gin enthusiast's tiny little Crosley! 15:11

[@DiRF]

Sharp eye! Oooh I'm hoping they do something with it on the channel.

[@eriksimca9409]

wasnt that james mays car in one of the older episodes?

[@dougieranger]

Well spotted!

[@johnantonine4505]

Was looking for someone else who had spotted it

[@ATomRileyA]

It needs a Hayabusa swap, it would be hilarious and probably dangerous :)

[@gpaje]

You guys got me with the photoshopped wheels & snorkel, lol.

[@Thatguysbackagain]

Don't forget his favourite cd, put one copy in ever tray, genesis, he loves that album

[@mahmoodsultan6472]

I hate that bit

[@keon8625]

That winch is causing some serious sag in the front end - they need to throw a puck or new springs on.

[@fatman123526]

Nah it's just lowered so Hammond could get into it 😂

[@dzzope]

That winch is gonna get some workout.. Richard couldn't even find the horn😂

[@MasqueradePW]

hilarious that richard never noticed the tiny spoiler, odds are he only found out when watching this video (if and when he does)

[@lukeguilfoyle2425]

When is season 4 of the workshop coming? Can’t wait for the new series to drop.

[@Sid3300]

The Crosley in the background 👀

[@MudSluggerBP]

Yeah spotted that too, never thought that would show up again 😂😂

[@Sid3300]

@@MudSluggerBP Pretty sure James said he didn’t want it. Maybe hammond had an idea to do something with it 🤔

[@MudSluggerBP]

@@Sid3300 well it is pretty much the crappest car ever bought for one of their specials. Almost ruined that episode for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@madmick3794]

I would take it home too, lol

[@bicyclist2]

I noticed that too.

[@the_keen_edge]

It warms my heart to watch a grown child play with his new toy.

[@kenyannoob]

watching this from Kenya and i cant help but notice that Kenyan bracelet on your arm.. Lots of respect

[@timothysimiyu1940]

Watching from Kenya too

[@dihuthia]

Another Kenyan noticed that as well...

[@maxmillianbayer2455]

I noticed that kenyan flag bracelet too 😂

[@Antonykirimi]

here too

[@vitufisa4609]

Bana bana

[@zagonialpar9208]

Great work Richard. That work really made so much money for the Cog.

[@kevinlucas8437]

Fantastic mods !! Winch, steps, spare tire holder. Best was that spoiler 😂 that down force is going to be awesome!!!

[@bicyclist2]

Very nice. Anyone else notice James May's little Crosley vehicle from The Grand Tour, on a trailer, in the back at 15:09 and 15:11? Glad to see Hammond likes the mods. Thanks.

[@ScoutTheDefender]

Very cool to see some ORE kit on Hammond’s Defender

[@huwdavies6650]

We won't remind Richard of the time, when he fitted a winch to the front of a Mini Cooper.😂

[@TurtleSodadrives]

Modified Defenders make me excited. Fizz engaged!

[@brianferguson7840]

It isn't, never was , and never will be a Land- Rover !!! It's a LANDROVER.😂😂😂

[@Infinite_AM]

Richard didn't know where the horn was

[@gs188]

Or the ignition key. Obviously doesn’t get much use.

[@mattcatlow47]

So this is Richards pride and joy… Cut to footage of lads cleaning bodywork with a yard brush ! 😂

[@jfb_ventures]

Why would Richard need a winch? To pull the LR out if a ditch in a mall parking lot? 😂

[@ianp45]

I was thinking the same.

[@jordanhoughton2897]

15:37 is that james car from the grand tour special in the back ground 🤔

[@AdamBusuttil]

15:51 James mays car in the background

[@euanboard6417]

Is that James May's Crossley in the shot?

[@ZesPak]

Timestamp?

[@bicyclist2]

Yes! I noticed that too.

[@mumboking]

Nice Nu-Venture bus profile photo 👍

[@R0N1N_Inc]

Hammond, the eternal child at heart, a living legend 👍

[@MrSamsmithmard]

Is that James May’s car from the Grand tour special ? 😊

[@maich44]

The Kenya wristband made me smile. +254 to the world

[@acefoxuk]

You can't beat a Landy mod session 👌🏻 😎 🇬🇧

[@jamesward6460]

I've got quite a bit of ORE on my Landy and it's good kit!!

[@squireeditionsltd]

Some great modifications chaps. Also, everyone needs a winch on their Land Rover right?! As Richard delicately explains "Pulling the red hooky thing" makes it all worthwhile 🙂 That spoiler just makes it.....

[@michaelbrooks8332]

This is like the shopping channel

[@markduggan3451]

Great mods, it's a shame Richard hadn't noticed that spoiler.

[@ngugigathogo8790]

The kenyan 🇰🇪 bracelet is 💥💥

[@costafilh0]

Is up to Drive Tribe now to take the Grand Tour's torch. I hope the trio continues to do some road trips and take us along. Maybe they're "too old and fat" (Jemery's words, not mine) for crazy adventures, but not for some nice road trips, hanging out, talking and enjoying cars, and messing around like always.

[@alanstapleton3818]

The three part winch front bumper was available from land rover special vehicles years ago i have one on my 06 defender and its a galvanised bumper

[@wandabwa13]

The Kenyan Bracelet 😍!

[@JayPerf]

the Ducks hat is life

[@paulcumpsty4296]

Spot of lanogaurd needed next👌🏻

[@simonmills2250]

I spotted a Crossley. I wonder who drove one of those recently...

[@thetopwatchlist]

I'm a simple man. I see the Kenyan 🇰🇪 bracelet, I hit like and share!

[@stuyrides5144]

When he said who thought of that I bet there's an an engineer sitting at home watching this video going YOU THOUGHT OF WHAT MATE?

[@bryanho3721]

Did anyone saw the fine car in the background 👀 lol

[@nicolj434]

The Volvo V50

[@grandmoffporkins]

Mike, loving the low key snark between you and Anthony

[@gafu]

Can't unsee that kenyan flag on mike's hand. Kenya to the world🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

[@jhghsdn]

Now he can go climb another dam!

[@fajareraim6136]

is that james may crossley?

[@bicyclist2]

Yup.

[@EthelJung-j5w]

Where did richard find those goodyear wrangler MT/R tires? They haven't made that tread design in years

[@madmick3794]

Must be country specific, I can get that tred at my local tyre shop.

[@porcobene_media]

here in Germany you can still order it. some defenders were origin on this

[@matgale1298]

THANK YOU for pulling up the 'back seat of your rover' lyric. Before my head clicked that it was a land/Range Rover I thought it might have been a 25 or 75

[@J.Nganga]

nice one Michael seen the Kenya wrist band on you cheers brother

[@IamNotU]

How did no one point out the spoiler to Hammond? I mean, it's not like he can see it up there...or is it that we will get another video of Hammond's reaction?

[@mejanner]

With it looking like that, I'd never want to drive off road ever again

[@fakeidentityy]

Totally not suspicious of the other vehicles being hooked up to each other already 😂😂

[@dailydriven991]

Just here to say it sure would be great if we could watch Hammond’s Workshop here in the U.S. Why on earth would they block what is likely his biggest audience? Make it happen guys!

[@ScoutTheDefender]

So good! Loved this guys

[@calebyupe7034]

Someone is wearing a Kenyan flag bracelet 🎉. Another awesome episode!

[@DpMario11]

So you guys just do infomercials now?

[@micha0001]

At 19:43... that´s a Kadett A Caravan! 😀

[@DryUrEyesMate]

That back wheel looks nice and straight lol

[@BoostedMike2]

my step dad did his old v8 defender and he worked on this one too

[@54mgtf22]

Cool 😎

[@bobpurcell5662]

Just watched Hammond's TH cameo - and "spoiler alert" when does he find the new aero addition?

[@laughingman3777]

Says there might not be enough time to complete the job. Proceeds to talk and gossip through the entire video.

[@Kiwiadventurerandoverlander]

Are those recovery point on the new front bar rated for recovery?

[@cristiansandu7537]

oh goody... this one is not just for members 🥳

[@ivor8275]

Have none of you heard of Mahker Landrover, just one look at their KZbin offerings each week will give you a totally new prospective, and there could be in my view tie ups for both workshops?

Fortunatley no mike was hurt during the making of this film :)

[@QueenDerpy]

I'd like to see how that new light bar looks at night!

[@urbanstrencan]

Great video, love Land Rover, you should do complete Defender build on the channel ❤❤❤❤

[@williamperez8677]

Pls let us know what Richard says when he finally discovers the spoiler, if he ever does 😂

[@K1W1fly]

Its always nice to see a needy multi-millionaire being given free stuff...

[@Sharpyveyron]

When will series 4 of Richard Hammonds workshop come out

[@TheGeezzer]

Hammond is worth £31 million. Hes just playing at this, he's fortunate enough to do so!

[@eamonahern7495]

I wonder how long that rear wing will last. 🤔

[@benwea76]

The light bar looks ridiculous.

[@shaunbaltes8862]

disappointed we didn't get to see him notice the spoiler, i had 1 of them on my little nugget of a car for years untill it snowed bad 1 year and i forgot it was there n wiped it off with the snow brush

[@rafaeljimenezlazaro2219]

Dear Drivetribe team, I own a lovely 1984 land rover 110 campervan that will look stunning with all those bits that you just took off from Hammond's landy. Happy to collect them at a reasonable price lol please get in touch if interested

[@davidsmith1066]

Looks cool 👍❤️

[@nickynik5951]

Wah keren bagus sekali💕💕💕💕👍👍

[@frictionstreaker]

Volvo 850 Estate rear spoiler fits the rear of a defender

[@grdprojekt]

15:10 WHY IS THERE THE CROSLEY IN THE BACK

[@CraigElMandill]

Why is James mays bid car in the yard?

[@mevemeve3373]

I thought the back seat of my rover was talking about a range rover 🤔🤣

[@irvsstella]

I'm surprised Richard didn't roll the Landy and burst into flames 😅

[@milnez]

Yay boss gets free upgrade… going back to my noodles

[@paulmwirigimburu]

Who is that Kenyan on the team....I love the defender so much one day I will afford one

[@OldWon991]

On any wire cable a canvas blanket should be layer over it in case it goes just a bit wrong

[@mahmoodsultan6472]

Did anyone notice the Crosley cc convertible that James had in Euro Crash behind the defender.

[@flyingnippers]

Just needs a front number plate to be road legal now…

[@darylfitzgerald1327]

Stewart little is absolutely awesome 👍😎

[@bcrock8655]

15:09. Is that James's Crosley? Maybe it's ammo for the trebuchet.

[@groeacht8525]

Only rover bit I've found so far are the side indicators, rest of the borrowed bits pre date mg-rover

[@memyselfandeye1234]

Cog Crew ... Quality

[@andypriestley6538]

What happens to the old lights?😊

[@gold4leaf]

safety first .... when winching you should place a winch blanket over the middle of the cable in case the cable snaps, cables can be deadly ......

[@Cous1nJack]

This isn’t a cable

[@_kachapin]

Kenyan wristband, proudly Kenyan

[@isaacetyang5159]

Kenya to the world
