Truck camper rebuild in Africa. We stripped the walls!! Ep265

Pulling the walls off or truck camper and replacing them was not part of the original plan but Stephy has decided it needs to be done.
We also have a full chassis treatment done to preserve the lifespan of our Land Rover Defender.
Not long now and this epic rebuild will be complete!
Join us as we travel the world overland, exploring the cultures and traditions of all the countries we visit.
In our Land Rover Defender camper which is our full time home we will take you rock climbing, hiking and exploring across all the continents on this planet.

As a South African myself, and a loyal followers if your channel, I must compliment all the locals involved working on your vehicle for their efforts and commitment shown on this "re-build" and can think what it would have meant for André Swartz if he could see the end product. Thank You for supporting South-Africa. All the best with the rest of your journey 🇿🇦

[@DarthFurball]

Bear looks SPECTACULAR, Stephy!!! What amazing work from all the SA crews who put their love into this build...it shows.

[@wildcatoutdoors]

It has been said 1,000 times but 4wheel campers really should spend some of their advertising budget on sponsorship with you two!

[@martinhogan5970]

…I was crying with you, girl… you guys rock ❤️🤙🏾

[@anthonystevens403]

Oh, guys, you have the best Land Rover in the World, love from Lower Carrajung Gippsland

[@andrewjones-productions]

WOW. Just wow! Both Grizzly and Bear are getting a most wonderful revamp and by the looks of it, a timely one too for Grizzly! Absolutely wonderful craftsmanship going on down there in South Africa.

[@johnhart9094]

Thank you Lee for taking the time to talk to me If your ever in Liverpool looking me up thanks made my day 😊

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Very nice to meet you mate thanks for coming to say hello 😊

[@wanderingtraveloverlanding5033]

We’re super anxious to see the result off your build! With the Aussie know how, the French savoir faire and the South African build quality, it’s surely going to be the best overland build of 2023! Sweet as a Croissant, savory as Vegemite and as good as a Braai!

[@confuzsays7196]

I'm a grown man, and I should not be getting glassy eyed over a car that's not even mine. Good job guys.

[@vanDeudekom]

The most beautifull Land Rover I have ever see. Big compliment to everybody how work on this beauty. A Master job.

[@codename607]

Loving the new look!!!

[@DavidMSA]

Very VERY beautiful build. Congratulations to all the builders who took part to realise this project!

[@seanoreilly6551]

Customised with all your experience from your travels plus the local knowhow to make it a reality. Its not only functional but a thing of beauty.

[@Reaper4367]

Same, though not the same! Leigh, off working and paying for the rebuild/mod/birth of the new truck/camper/one of a kind Deefa. Steph, working just as hard keeping everyone in line and on time. Co-ordinating everything! Doing a fantastic job! 'One of a Kind" doest quite cut it. Its beyond that. Yes, i need a tissue. I am drooling. Love to you both. Brett and Marie.

[@Reaper4367]

i got ot.. it is a 'Re-Imagining" of 'G&B'. Its morphing, oooh, a butterfly... better stop. Going silly now. 😜😎

[@madem4406]

Love the 'ja's' Stephi dropped every now and again.....

[@SuperAlekii]

Wow. It looks brand-new 14:45 and its not finished yet. Great workmanship from all the mechanics.

[@sabdam2629]

Whaou, je pense que grizzly va être un des plus beaux defender du monde. Une cellule unique, je n'ai plus de mots. Merci

[@chrisrea7347]

I am very impressed by the new body work and also in general with the quality of workmanship of the South African workshops!! As a big LR fan and past owner of many Defenders I share your joy!

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jason.l.porter]

When you said you were going to get the anti corrosion treatment I thought (or hoped) that you would be going to Anthony’s. They did a nice job on our truck and it is indeed much easier to clean.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

We are so happy with what they did. Like a new chassis 😍

[@fromtheroad3081]

Looking great!

[@chrisb7999]

👏👏👏 absolute beauty So excited to see the next vid

[@unimog404]

Wow, that chassis looks better than when it was new!

[@friedeldemoeder]

woooooow Lovely!!

[@Chad_H]

I had serious reservations about chopping off the cab and putting the flatbed on Bear, but the final product is absolutely *amazing*. I think you 2 will be happy with this for years to come. Now lets see Grizzly!

[@ALVIEDZANE]

Makes me wanna take my truck over to SA and let these folks go and build on it. Glad for you both!

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank you! Couldn’t recommend those guys enough. We are so grateful for all the incredible workers involved in the project. And nothing is “paid promotion” or anything like that. Just our honest opinion.

[@tobiasjfmostert]

Anthony sorted my Cruiser and boy is that treatment worth every cent. Cannot recommend them enough!

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

They did such a great job 😊

[@mili158]

[@gerard9900]

Depuis que je vous suis depuis plusieurs années, que de changement dans la transformation du land. La réfection du châssis avec un nouveau revêtement est extraordinaire , superbe. La fabrication des coffres est superbe. Il va changer de look. Il va être en plus unique car il fait sur mesure à votre demande. Bravo . En plus je conduisais des lands aux Antilles et à l’île de la Réunion pendant 9 ans . Aller Stephy courage à toi dernière ligne droite 👍👏😘

[@ianbray8687]

Absolutely gorgeous, you guys have spent a fortune! After seeing Steff's emotional reaction Bear is obviously a family member, so a fortune well spent. He should serve you well now for many more years & travels to come. Cannot wait to see the final results.

[@TerryT007]

Wow i am absolutely blown away of what you are getting accomplished here in Cape Town, as a South African 🇿🇦 i am sonproud and in the same time happy for you guys, its looking absolutely amazing .

Well done, keep the momentum. There is a lot of excitement waiting for you in the rest of South Africa and Africa. Long live the Defender!!

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

The Defender and camper will be ready just in time for the show. We are working long days on it. I'm on call to go back to work in Namibia but we're really hoping that it will be after the show 🤞🤞🤞
