This is our 97 Defender 110 doing what it does best. On our latest expedition into the high Himalayas. Our other Defender is just out of frame. This is an ancient Buddhist monastery not far from the Tibetan border of Nepal.
Let's see those rigs in action

A group of us ran a loop through the Hill Country yesterday. Many roads were muddy due to rains the last few days. This stream crossing was on the way home. I was actually on county road 315 in Llano county.

I really like that country. Too bad there is no federal lands to enjoy the back country more.

Mighty nice rig you have there. When I see OB rigs, this is how I see them too. Do you have a kitchen build as well. Are you a solo venturer or family guy ?

I have done a bit of everything but mostly try to travel light. If I am alone I don't even use a tent. The back seat is plenty big and I stay warm well bellow freezing. I have a small group of friends who I have been going with on occasion which has been fun but I prefer smaller groups.

1990 F350 XLT Lariat Crew Cab, Long bed with the 7.5L 460ci. I put in a new crate engine, lift, shocks, brakes and brake lines, rims, tires, and more. Just enough to keep me out on the trail...

Sweet! I don’t have a YouTube channel, go pro, drone, or thrasheroo. I’m unworthy. Lol

Love the concept, love the look. Could we see some interior shots on how you 'kitted it out'. Your departure and egress look pretty good. The question I have is that last picture. Is that a INTER-COOLER or RADIATOR? That shield is a good idea, but seems to leave it vulnerable to a rock strike. If a ventilated over skid plate could be installed between the bottom of the bumper, and bottom lip of that shield (angled), It would be less likely to receive damage.
It looks like the front bumper has already do it's job a few times. Some of those strikes look substantial. Are those rock sliders, shown on the side view?
Oldies but a couple of my favourites, that i can find...
