V20E8: How To Sort of Repair the Door on a 1991 Land Rover Defender With Hand Tools

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

Amazing how many small projects pile up into a large pile. Even the small repairs feels good and victorious. Thanks for sharing.

[@venture4wd]

Very true

[@goingoverland6403]

So nice to see old vehicles taken care of. By taking care of the little things, it is much more likely a vehicle is repaired when a big thing happens instead of being sent to the scrap yard. Keep the Land Rover videos coming!

[@milonetzler67]

I like when you do these repairs and little upgrades on your rigs every now and then. Thanks Chris!

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Great video! A Defender 110 is a dream of mine!

[@Clarksadv]

Awesome job. Not only is it a self fulfilling but you also saved some cash doing it yourself.

[@billw6182]

Yes , Yes !!👍More videos like this , working on the old classic Land Rover Defender , and trips out on the trail in the Defender , and of course working on , and trips off road and exploring in the Jeep...FANTASTIC !!! content .... Two of the most Iconic off roaders ever built . Two thumbs up👍👍 Cheers Wild Bill Jeep overland exploring the Boreal forest , Arctic Watershed and Taiga of northern Ontario and Northern Quebec , and the James Bay shore. Never stop exploring!!!

[@venture4wd]

More to come!

[@steveec9704]

Your knuckles aren't bleeding I would have to agree that was a relaxing restoration job lol

[@venture4wd]

That’s a pretty solid litmus test!

[@softroadingthewest]

That was super enjoyable. Nice work improvising repairs on that old door, turned out great.

[@venture4wd]

Thank you so much!

[@flannelshirtdad]

Tinkering is a different kind of adventure. Thanks for showing what it takes to keep things going.

[@venture4wd]

It really is!

[@shaftermike]

Nice little video showing how you solved the various little issues that came up. Thanks for the mention of 3m trim tape. I already can foresee several places I'll use it on my Jeep wj.

[@mikeprodanov6765]

It is always so rewarding when we bring old, obsolete, vehicles to like new condition.... Great job, Chris....

[@venture4wd]

Yes indeed!

[@1111Overland]

I have to do similar repairs on my 91 YJ. I’ve been putting it off but watching this makes me want to tackle it. Thanks Chris!

[@venture4wd]

I encourage you to give it a go!

[@nickedshears]

British engineering fixed with American ingenuity

[@fwdadventuresza254]

Always exciting to see an oldie being kept on the road, well done Chris👍🏻

[@johnb6690]

Repairs are part of the adventure! Thanks for the video.

[@venture4wd]

You got that right!

[@danebarb1642]

So glad you still have this truck, can’t wait to see back on trail 😊. Also congrats on house, very happy for you both

[@venture4wd]

Thanks so much!!

[@calsurflance5598]

This was a fun video Chris. That door is good for another 30 plus years. A good upholstery shop can do wonders for those seats. No need to buy new.

[@chrismc.893]

I love that thing!!! I just inherited a very clean 1971 CJ5, it's so cool, can't wait to start doing some upgrades and get it on the trail!

[@venture4wd]

Far out, enjoy!

[@azcojpg]

What a difference when you sit the door how much more solid it is now. Finding sheet metal screw from previous owners grrrr. lol

[@thecorpsofdiscovery]

nice segment. i really like this truck.

[@erichughes9098]

Thank you, Chris 😎👍

[@aribach]

Great video! The simplicity of a Land Rover is amazing. Love how most jobs can be done with simple tools and a bit of ingenuity.

[@bobknepper770]

Really enjoyed this episode! Being non mechanical, I am always VERY hesitant to take apart and “dig in”, so I admire and appreciate your “bravery “!! I would have a door in pieces on the floor with various screws, fasteners etc and be thinking of selling “As Is”!!! LOL!

[@scottymac5174]

I used to be a whole lot more DYI but right now I do not have the necessary garage space for my vehicle or my tools. Glad to see you folks have the space to do stuff like this!

[@venture4wd]

Still weird to us to have this anchor in life. Good weird!

[@xspaddriver]

Nicely done!

[@johndiaz7240]

Good job, it’s like working on my old 40 series Cruiser, just good enough.

[@jenandjim149]

I would like to see more of this kind work. good luck with the truck.

[@nickward8887]

Tinkering is so therapeutic

[@thewanderer577]

Impressive! Way to go Chris!

[@nevrstopdrivin]

You're so kicked back, Chris. Your vids are like Zen.

[@JT-py9lv]

Now that you're home base is in AZ, we're going to have to meet up for an ICE COLD beer one day.

[@brucel399]

Nice job Chris. Though it looks like a trip back east will be in your future to pick up stuff from your storage space. CHEERS from Colorado

[@AnonymousPhucker]

thread rivet kit is good for replacing any plastic seater

[@maxgralph]

That was satisfying just watching! Nice job.

[@VelcorHF]

Ayyyyyyyy, cruisy is back? Uh pickupy? Listens to windy? Wheely? … I think you need to name it!

[@venture4wd]

Haha we’ll take all those suggestions under advisement ;-)

[@bobknepper770]

Yes! Gotta have a name!! Maybe ask your followers for suggestions!!! Top of my head …”Rattles” has a nice sound!! LOL!

[@Qwerty050585]

Great video. And always love content with the defender!

[@graysonbrown2774]

Great video

[@bobshort9653]

Good job

[@TherapeuticDriving]

thanks for the vid!

[@BackroadExploration]

Love the rover.

[@Mink_24]

How long before you address the front end issue & replace the tires? … seems to be a pretty high priority … looking forward on how you “upgrade” the remainder of the interior …

[@scottymac5174]

Toyota offers online OEM parts diagrams like that. They make life a whole lot simpler.

[@TheWozWizard]

I told you Rovers North was the place to to go. I also see you need a new driver seat. I too need a new one. If I get one before you I will post my experience. Going over to defender source for some info.

[@venture4wd]

Man they are so helpful and an incredible resource.

[@hamzamberu6207]

7:27 interesting America still allows plastic shopping bags at hardware stores...Kenya banned them a couple years ago.

[@stephanecorriveau6982]

Although I understand how these can be problematic, if one adapts the “reuse” concept, they are very much a solution. Among other things, I reuse mine to line my household waste receptacles. They are far more degradable than the trash bags sold solely for this purpose. And I have not purchased any trash bags in well over 10 years.

[@concernedcitizen3651]

[@mattt6933]

👍

[@charleszammit7301]

You need some alghinment on the door though

[@uritaub5441]

Told you it would cost you more than a brand new Range Rover to fix your rig well!

[@venture4wd]

Hopefully since it’s not mission critical I can kick the van down the road here and there 😉

[@mcoffroadinaz4075]

Chris are you part of any Land Rover Defender groups? Lots of time and money can be saved by using those forums and associated youtube.

[@venture4wd]

I do need to get involved. It’s on the list!

[@denisepeloquin3223]

How about a REAL adventure!!

[@sourdoughben]

why, bother with rattles on a rusty pig.

[@TikkerLoS]

I really only care about the jeep, really starting to get life style creep and moving further and further away from what made this channel interesting

[@eburn71]

trust you are already aware, but Mike has a great YT channel if you wish to learn more about Defenders from anything small to big jobs. @BritannicaRestorations

[@venture4wd]

I actually haven’t come across this channel so will seek it out. Thank you!
