Ingenious Land Rover Defender - seriously clever!

I've looked at a lot of adapted Land Rovers, all trying to make the best use of limited space. This is the most ingenious I've ever seen. And a great intimate piece of video too:

Amazing work

That's cool.

cool build

It is so well thought out and by both of them. Self built and they use it. If he made them as more than a one off I know some would buy them, I know I would and it is on a diesel LR. Hard to beat that. I would trade in my LR for one of those in a second.

I want one.

The design and execution of build is fabulous.

I would like to see the pictures of the parts fabrication and assembly of this "Transformer"!

They did a really nice job on that!

Not sure what that guy does for a day job but holy talented Batman! Yeah, worth every penny right there. Imagine if that was a removable system or a kit form where the rear of the D110 needs to be modified only, and then this bolts down to it for a permanent install? Ultimate travel wagon IMO!

Ingenious. Lots of moving parts. I wonder if there is a manual override ?

That's my only worry as well.

Looks beautiful though, and love how well the exterior ruggedness was maintained.

I also wonder how it works after 8 hours on a washboard road.

Brilliant use of space. I would love to see something like this come to market.
The only thing I would prefer to see is a manual option for opening and closing the camper and lowering the bed. Less chance of break downs

 

[msimmo]

I would love to see the mechanics of that rear carrier/porch lifting mechanism.

The build job is so clean and well thought out. $$$, and the will to do it...

Awesome
