East Coast Defender Venice

We just can´t get enough of East Coast Defender´s custom builds. Project Venice is the name of one of the latest masterpieces to roll out of their Florida-based workshop. This isn´t as impressive as other ECD customizations, but that is what we love about it, they simply took an already perfect Defender 90, and made it even more awesome with subtle changes and details. They fitted it with a powerful Chevrolet LS3 engine, an automatic transmission, 16” wheels, BFG KO2 tires, and added a sports suspension, a Momo steering wheel, Corbeau racing seats, LED Lights, touch screen navigation, and an Alpine entertainment system. Yes please. 
 
If you’re interested, East Coast Defender is currently taking reservations for 2017 builds.

LAMBORGHINI RAT ROD

This 1968 Lamborghini Espada was turned into an insane hot rod and will be up for auction on January 12th via Mecum. Introduced in 1968, the Espada enjoyed a 10-year production run (only 1,200 were produced), with a styling that was controversial at the time, a sort of love it-hate it design. The "Rat Rod" was built in 2018 by Danton Art Kustoms to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Espada, and it has all the elements of hot r...

A Defender Built for Winter Missions

Most custom Defenders try to do everything. The Defender 110 Grand Teton No 003 takes a more focused approach, built around a specific use case and executed without compromise. Developed as a collaboration between Land Rover Swamp and Ramble Rovers, this build leans fully into winter travel and mountain terrain. The monochromatic white on black finish keeps things clean, but the real story is in the details. A Thule rooftop cargo box, dedicated snowboard moun...

LAND ROVER DEFENDER ICARUS

Land Rover Defender Icarus is the ultimate camper conversion built by South African company Alu-Cab. Jeremy Bergh and his team at Alu-Cab wanted to build the ultimate overlander, and we must agree, the Icarus Defender is undoubtedly a very impressive vehicle. It accommodates two people comfortably without compromising on storage space, it was fitted with a built-in tent that opens in seconds and is accessed from inside the camper, a fold-away stove, bright Lumeno li...
