From Defender to Bronco M57 to LS3, Puma and Range Rover: Epic Workshop Projects at Mahker 4x4 EP122

Calling all car enthusiasts in the UK, USA and Australia! Buckle up for another action-packed week at the Mahker 4x4 workshop!
This week, we've got a whirlwind of projects that will have you glued to your screen!
Land Rover Defender Series 3: We're breathing new life into this classic with a focus on eco-friendly restoration - all the metalwork is being cleaned and galvanized for a sustainable future.
Project Why Not LS3: This Chevy LS3-powered Defender is getting closer to reality, with the engine now installed and ready for the electrical magic to begin.
Defender 90 Puma Drama: Not all heroes wear capes, and sometimes even Land Rovers need a helping hand. We diagnose a troublesome Puma engine and get this Defender back on track.
Tom's Defender 90 Upgrade: Stopping power is crucial, so we're outfitting Tom's Defender 90 with some serious Maclaren brakes - say goodbye to brake fade!
Range Rover Classic Restoration Begins! We're embarking on a stunning restoration journey with a classic Range Rover - get ready for a jaw-dropping transformation!
Project Cagney Roars to Life! The wait is over! Darren has completed his work on the BMW M57 engine for Project Cagney, and we get to hear this beauty purr for the first time.
Project Hamish Gets a Fresh Coat: This project car is getting prepped for its big journey to the USA! We're giving the chassis a fresh coat of paint before it sets sail across the pond.
American Invader! For something completely different, we welcome a Ford Bronco into the workshop for some drivetrain TLC.
This episode is packed with variety, from classic Land Rovers to American muscle. There's something for everyone!

Cracking episode Dave/Ben, very varied…what happened to that Cummins engined monster you’re building? Not seen an update on that for a while? Cagney looking very cool…PS check out Endak Hudson (Hudson Coachworks) in Aus, does some great stuff with old RRC’s…❤ Mahker

Thanks for the question, we've answered in our latest Q&A! th-cam.com/video/nS_1YhTeRZs/w-d-xo.html

I always find your videos inspire me to take the time and do it right, currently fitting Alcon brakes on my defender build. Look forward to the next!

@@wearemahker that’s amazing..’ 🤩..! I did not expect that..! I will wear it proudly as a Defender owner 💪🏻💪🏻😎

[@AnthonyWilliams-vh1ds]

It’s really annoying that I want to spend all my money on defenders 😂…

[@wearemahker]

@@AnthonyWilliams-vh1ds is a normal addiction don’t worry

@@wearemahker I’m still waiting on the second half of my funds 🤦🏻‍♂️ but rest assured I’ll be paying both yourselves and Bowler a visit. I do enjoy all your billet parts … I need a defender 90 overlander with a bit of smart tidy engineering rather than all the bolt on / build it yourself stuff. I like Vector stuff from the US which looks awesome kitting out the back of Jeeps… Hoping something similar can be done in the UK to the back of a 90 😊
