Hey guys,
Long time reader, first time poster!
My wife and I live in Australia and own a 2005 Defender td5 110 which we've had for 10 years and travelled in extensively.
I've recently stripped the vehicle back to start our new fit-out and thought it might be worth posting some updates as I make my way through it.
We are hoping to ship the vehicle overseas next year to slowly start driving it around the world!
I have the truck booked in for the 'pop top' roof camper conversion in June which we're very excited about. We lived in the car for a full year travelling Australia and were definitely keen for a more 'live in' type arrangement for our next big trip.
I thought I'd list the vehicles specs as I personally find it interesting what the cars had in the different global markets.
Outside of this the wish list is basically a larger fridge/freezer, new awning, likely a lithium setup with solar and a few other bits and pieces.
Anyway, It's great being apart of the forums and I look forward to updating this thread as I move along.
Cheers, Mike.
