@@typhoon-7 I don’t understand the content of your reply to this guys comment, it’s reliable because it has a Toyota 1HD-FT engine which is probably the most reliable engine Toyota ever made for a Landcrusier, mechanical yet injected, turbo and came out in the best Landcrusier a Toyota has ever built the 80series VX limited, 40thed series from 95-97. many other engines in the 80series but this is the best.

Defender 100 or The Range Defender Cruiser. I like it a lot, I like the bloke that owns it and his attitude. What a relatable fell good video for a Sunday morning. Cheers Ronny. P.S. Have my sub!
Lukes attitude towards this truck is spot on. Im a big believer in not taking any vehicle out of context...dont erase its history...everything has it purpose. He is what i consider the quintessential caretaker....Best modified yet if you ask me!
Good on ya Luke for not claiming the build ya self 👌👌 the bloke that owned it before has a old forward control with a camper setup should get that on here Ronny 👍👍
Man that’s a hell of a build. Especially considering when it was built. I thought mine was over the top but at least I still have the original chassis and body. Welll mostly anyway 😂 Hats off to the build
Great article.Brightened my dreary wet Sunday morning. Land Rover built a series of 100 inch coil sprung vehicles in the late 70's for a Swiss Army contract trial. Obviously the suspension was not heavily modified. Unfortunately they were unsuccessful . The 100 inch wheel base was never developed as it was deemed to close to the planned 110 and 90 vehicles' .In the Mid 80's they had another go at the contract and built several 110 vehicles with automatic gearboxes with a variety of engines including 3.5ltr EFI V8's. Bodies were all soft top with vinyl 2 part hoods along the lines of a Pinzgauer, Swing out rear half doors with one off spare wheel carriers. Two of these 110's are known to still exist both V8's 1 in Switzerland and 1 in the UK. What could have been!
19:54 that's about as good as our Isuzu dmax with a roof rack... damn that bar work increased drag(previously doing low 7L/100km). I miss this good ol' custom stuff, especially landys. Sidewinder is a good example of this. Rangie chassis, fibreglass body, p76 motor, dual banjo axles for rear steer and all the maxidrive under the sun. Turns out it was the owner of key 4wd car, the same fella who invented maxidrive.
Sick truck, Oh men, must have big Ball’s to drive such a vehicle and a very good Orthopedic doctor for back if it does not have an air suspension seat! Safe trips… cheers
Amazing build, as much as I enjoyed driving the LR V8 109s when I was in country, been thinking of getting one as a project, this is actually inspiring had some other plans but this actually makes the mind off grid with options, lol, this would have been awesome back in the day so as we had some long trips on and off road to get to locations for exercises and deployments etc , great truck, amazing build and custom work, simple but we’ll thought out def lots of work, what a vehicle..🤙 Ps if it’s ever for sale (lol) asked by thousands🤙

I do like Land Rover Defenders and this one looks great. I wonder how it would be received in the UK if i had a Land Rover with a Toyota engine? At least it wouldn't leak as much oil as a standard Defender. A great idea that really works.
I did it the same in my former FJ-40. With a 2,27 transfer reduction and 4,10 at the diffs, I could done in 2nd gear and winch at the same time and almost the winch match the wheels speed.
@@29VK05 Lance was talking about fuel economy and the effect vehicle weight has. I was just saying that weight comes second to drag and aerodynamics once you start getting to certain speeds. Never said it was bad that that thing isn't fast. You're right it's a tough 4x4 not a race car.
This is a military vehicle, despite what is said. It can be reliable off road most of the time. This type of vehicle has no power steering which makes it so hard to steer. I have been in many and it is far from comfortable. Good on him though, amazing story.
Japan buys a lot of metallurgical coal from Canada. They don't have too much natural resources, but Oz has quite a bit of bauxite. Still, aluminum costs more .
I really like how much this bloke respects the bloke that built it
Classy, humble person. The 100 found the right owner.
When you said most modified vehicle i never imagined it was THIS modified.
You me and everyone else until you really see what it’s about 😁

Probably the best modified yet. Vehicle that was actually modified not just a bunch of aftermarket accessories bolted on
Those long arms are something else
Reminds me of my youth when we would build cars from whatever we could find
No you tube back then
This was way more interesting than I expected when I saw the army truck in the thumbnail! What an absolute work of art
I remember reading about this truck in 4wd action as a kid, it was awesome then and is brilliant now.
I love it when someone takes parts from this, that and the other and creates something like this. The air con and cruise control are perfect!

Wow, that’s a Frankenstein rig built for the task. Love it!
Nice rig. Glad to see the Modified series back, slightly updated but still with the OG format.
This is the best car on modified hands down
finally, modified! missed this a lot, thx
They been too busy swimming in the floods at there base camps to get content out 👻🤣🤙
This is awesome. Such a humble dude. Need more stuff like this
Much respect for that vehicle!
Thanks Ronny! good timing to watch in this lockdown.
Lovely walk through and backstory.
Totally agree Luke. Leave it as a monument to the gentleman that built it. It will be around long after a lot of modern 4wd's are dead and buried
The cruise control thing is amazing and really funny...very very smart idea.. love it
This really is the ultimate old school 4WD - 100" wheel base, aluminum lightweight body, reliable toyota diesel and drivetrain and 9.2L p/100!
Hey Ronnie, Thanks For sharing this. Something i would like to build myself.
Love it . Such an old-school weapon
That's pretty special, for sure! Definitely a fan.

Great story genuine guy that now owns it.
Kudos to the owner for committing to preserving it as it is. Much respect.
A great looking and very capable off road vehicle
Awesome truck! Glad modified is back.

Great post Woot Woot. No frills weapon ...real deal owner nice ...
such a cool ' old school ' machine .. very little bought , mostly modified or adapted from another vehicle
Great video! Something different and awesome!
Good to see the old girl still alive 👍. Awesome to see yet another amazingly cool old rig.
Great episode Ronnie 😉
Keep up the good work mate.
That was very cool. What a vehicle!!!
Really awesome, also good to know that I can mate my H55F to a 1HD-FT. I'd love that engine in my 60 series.

9.2L/100km fuel consumption surprised me the most about this! Absolutely phenomenal
On skinny tires yes it is posssible
Meanwhile in the states with our gas engines most built rigs get like 10-12mpg…..unreal
like my 100inch defender theses trucks are very modified and unique ...

Really nice episode on the sassed colorado. Can you also do a review of Dylan's sassed D40 Navara?..Would be awesome
thats interesting, in the old army 110 we could drive while using PTO winch... or could put low/high into neutral for just using pto...
No LEDs,,,RESPECT!!
What a legend
98 % of cars was landrover now 2% are use of road in australia ! look nice that's it
Nice rig. You can drive and winch with the PTO. Did it all the time in my hj61
I did it the same in my former FJ-40. With a 2,27 transfer reduction and 4,10 at the diffs, I could done in 2nd gear and winch at the same time and almost the winch match the wheels speed.
There is another 100 landy in Perth with same range rover base but with a v8
Space wise, the Toyota 6 cylinder diesel isn't to big. They fit the Cummins 6BT into a Defender engine bay and use the TD5 radiator and intercooler.
Cool, I'd take the Isuzu 3.9 over that Toyota slug but still very cool
Looks owsome. Top shit Def 100. Cheers mate 🍻
Pretty upset the bloke is getting better fuel economy than my 3.0L Prado 150 hahahha. What a great build.

All depends on how fast you are going. Can't imagine that thing doing anymore than 100-110 kmh

Just so people know, it’s not easy mating up the front end chassis off of a RRC to the front clip of a Defender, impeccably done here.

I have a 90, that I wish was about 10% bigger to better fit my bulk. It'd need to be 10% wider too though.
Absolute weapon!!
I thought 10.5l/100km was good in a Land Rover (300tdi) but 9.2! Great Landy though
Yeah thats what i use to get in mine so i assume automatically itd be under 10
yeah that's crazy
