You know…you guys may have the nicest bunch of viewers on YT. Seriously! When reading the comments on your channel I start feeling a bit more positive about the world. And as always I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching. TL:DR…and this comment read my mind - Jon, your mechanical expertise reminds me of my Dad. He could pretty much transfer his skills into multiple things and solved problems creatively too. He built a whole mini from stuff he got from multiple scrap yards…he was trained as a motorcycle mechanic but basically taught himself everything from plumbing to building. (And that was in the days before t’internet of course, because I’m getting old.) Mum would have practical ideas about how to solve a problem and Dad would make them a reality. You guys are both hugely talented and seem to complement each other well, and I’m sure the future’s going to be full of rewarding adventures. Hopefully you’ll continue taking us all along with you ⭐️

Overlanding American here. Great build. Seriously, you guys get high marks for what you have accomplished. My wife was quick to suggest you consider making a Velcro-ed front cover that will seal in the utensils pockets on the back door. As you drive down dirt roads or over sandy areas, the amount of grit that finds its way into your cabinet is remarkable. We have found covering stuff that is exposed makes a huge difference. Can’t wait to see how your shake out trip to Spain and Morocco goes. Please provide details on the amount of back pain a Defender can produce after a long-haul trip. (We’re Jeep people, so we had to get at least one Defender dig in, right?). Best of luck. We’re very much enjoying your channel - and, yes, we have “liked” and “subscribed .”

I was looking for something to charge the Leisure battery from the Alternator and Solar and their D250se is just amazing. And even trickle charges your starter battery from solar too!

I have a little adventure story for you.Long ago when I was 23 years old and in the army in South Africa.I was driving along a gravel road in a long wheelbase Land Rover which was completely open.All we had was the windscreen no canopy .This was in Northern Angola during the Civil War.Anyway here I am driving along with two other mates (And we had already driven miles and miles that day) When suddenly the left rear wheel and half shaft came off the vehicle and flew into the bush.So we are stuck as other traffic along that road was maybe one vehicle every four or five hours.But there's a small army base not far away but it was about one to one and a half hours drive.(You couldn't just walk back to it) So now we sat the three of us in the middle of Fuck All with my rifle and two 9mm pistols.(But I had plenty of ammo for my rifle if needed) Anyway after about three hours a truck came along and said he would call at the small army base and tell them to send a recovery truck.So a while later the recovery truck arrived and took us all back to the small base.They had a mechanic who repaired our Land Rover and the next morning we were on our way. Hope you like my little adventure.But the moral of the story is as much as you can "Be Prepared".

The Builds that due me is as a Subscriber. This does make me think of how different the base of the build would be if you choose a Ex Military 110 Defender with their side locker for jerry cans. As they would change a lot of where you have fitted extra tanks under the body. Guaranteed that it will have been ragged within an inch of it's life, unlike your own which has had a much gentler life going by the condition of her. I know all about ragging Land Rovers as that is what we always did with them, things got a bit better when the Army bought the TD5 Defenders as they were awesome once they had the lovely Rover five cylinder fitted. Shame that the turbo and water pumps where not squaddie proof. I did miss our section V8 as that just sounded the mutts, when giving it the beans. Can't wait to see your next Epic Adventure.

@@truebluetravellers It was brilliant being able to rag things once out of sight. One of my most memorable times was Driver training, once you had completed the licence side of it you got to do things like Skid Pan. That was in Cars, Land Rovers and A Bedford TM 8 Tonner, which was the most fun due to how long it seemed to take the air breaks to release from locking up. Hence how I know about the weakness of the TD5 Turbo and water pump bearing. I only had a year of playing with the TD5 Landy's before being back to the very dull Naturally aspirated 2.5 diesel lump that could pull the skin of a rice pudding going down hill. The Biggest problem with the TD5 based Landy was if you wanted to do the same conversion you'd have to get hold of the upper side panels and possibly the rear door if you got hold of the soft top version of what we called the Wolf, but got told off it we did, as it had another name that time has lost. I take yours has the Ford 2.2 lump in it that they put in the Freelander 2. That was a good engine. I once got stuck behind a boy racer in his Honda Civic, slowing me down on a series of Bends. when we got to the lights all I could see was the drivers bobbing up and down trying to work out what was behind him, as there should have been no way a Freeland should have been on his tail in the bends. You don't tend to see them being ragged on the road. I do miss that it at time. Not the overly sensitive Traction Control that would cut in when you really gave it the been to get out of a junction and it would kill the power. The limp mode was pretty good on them as you could then get along at a normal pace and up to national speed limits. Mine was totally standard apart from it being the front wheel drive version. as some idiot didn't check what the e mean. Still a bloody good laugh taking it off green lanes. Even pulled a Hi Lux out of a ditch with it, Clutch stank to hi heaven of course.
