Doing good. Recommend dont block access to vehicles original electrics. was sorting something on my 300 tdi 90 own for 14 ish years found a egr control box under the cubby box, glad I never drilled down through the cubby box (assuming its still working).
Kudos pal for ticking off a bucket-list item, Just class. What's the longest journey you have done in this and what was good and not so good during the journey?
Just picked up my first 4wd 3 weeks ago, definitely inspiring to see one being built and how different theUK way of building them is compared to the Aussie way
You need diff and gearbox breather extension tubes if your wading in water, without they will fill with water and you'll have to change the oil each time to get the water out , the tubes run up the side of the snorkel.
If your ever thinking engine swap, look into a M57 swap with 8HP box. Its been done and the results are amazing. 400bhp 800nm with a super reliable engine and box.
@@boqer123 Would definitely recommend the Bealach na Bà pass - mental piece of road. Other than that, basically anywhere on the west coast is stunning! We went east to west and it just kept getting better
@@boqer123 I did it in April and definitely do east to west as you’ll want to spend most of your time in the west. Some highlights were driving the super sketchy road around the coigach peninsula and then looking down over the summer isles, Corrieshalloch falls for a mad bouncy bridge over a gorge and getting the seafood platter at Shieldaig Bar & Coastal Kitchen. Detouring off into the middle of the highlands for the forests is cool, Achness falls are awesome
Nah man I don’t wanna be one of them but can’t be just me missing the e36 and cupra stuff, I’m just watching for the banter in the videos at this point 🤣
@@boqer123 No hate but I know I'd prefer a collapsed sun that lights up from here to lands end compared to lanterns that focus on one spot. Each to their own I guess you do you :)
Dude get Jimmy Oakes over here while he’s in Ireland got a day
I can honestly say...The Defender series has been my most favourite to date! I've wanted one for such a long time! Defo giving alot of inspiration.
defender build is the best on this channel. love tuning in!
Yes boq. A camping video is essential
Defender and camping?
Toast and butter pal. Hand in hand. Get it done
Best Defender channel on TH-cam
Cheers for finishing the new build!
I love the black finishings, I’m looking forward to seeing what other plans you have for the inside of the defender
13.40 ANDY ‘looks like a reception whiteboard’ loving the defender content.
Time is an important commodity........you did a great job editing 👍👍👍
Looks awesome👍🏴
I did the exact same thing when I removed my rear view mirror. Pulled it off and looked at it for a few seconds haha
For the NC500, if you're in Inverness and looking for a pub, the Market Bar and the Black Isle Bar are worth a visit
Top video as usual mate! I've loved the landy series so far
That cb Ariel will do you head in smacking the roof rack/tent when off roading mate! Awesome build, love the defender vids!
yoooo Bow you need to take some 35mm film with you and shoot photos along the way you could make such a sick series to insert into these videos

Love this series Josh, keep it up man
You're a legend, always look forward to your videos!
Hats off to you with this build. Actually making me want to buy one and have a go myself

love ur constant uploads brother. keep em coming i beg
Bang on.
Well done mate defender is looking sweet
Be cool seeing that car trailer getting sorted
So sick man!! Definitely love watching the defender stuff! Gives me much inspiration to do camper style stuff to my transit!
20:40 YESSSSSSSS
Super clean video loving the progress on the defender!
Love you Bqr! Your videos give me chills!
I live on the nc500 route, you should extend it and head over to the Isle of Skye 👌
Man these defender videos have been awesome !
The build is sick
You should wire the rear spotlights to your reverse lights
Funking mint mate. Big Big respect. 🤘🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
Very impressive
Niceee when's Jimmy coming over from Ireland to help finish this v8 swap?
Unreal build! Love the effort
Psyched to see more man, killing it
Maybe put a light on each side for when the nights start to draw in you can see down the side through trails ect 👌🏻

Already got them bud just haven’t fitted them yet haha
love it man looks class

Looking like a great build mate - Loving the videos. Literally just come back from an NC500 trip, you'll have an amazing time.
Cheers mate! How was it?? Any recommendations?

loving the vids sam andy at lz fest
Love this build! Also, NC500 was one of my favourite ever trips! 🚐
Looks so good mate only thing I would of done differently is the rear spot lights on the rack
Putting a rear awning there at some point so couldn’t! I wanted to though
@@boqer123 ahh I see mate yeah makes sense now I'm loving the build I've wanted one for a few years now I think it's time
Do it!
Getting ready for the aBOQalypse!
Loving the build mate👌 thinking about doing this to my TD5😂
😎😎👏🌿green energy👍
21:37 why not flip the lights around so the cable runs underneath the roof rack?
Nice defender
Coming along serious
Nah man I don’t wanna be one of them but can’t be just me missing the e36 and cupra stuff, I’m just watching for the banter in the videos at this point 🤣
Funny thing about owning a defender is that even when it’s “done”. You’ll still be drilling holes in it for one reason or another..
Bring back the flannel shirts🙌
Mint 👍✔
Nice to see Andy had his safety squints on!🤣
Sick bro
Should put the rear spots on the side or on the bonnet
Chuck a big panel on at rooftop tent
Antenna on the Roof Rack would have been better IMHO :) love the truck though..
4:10 Tell her you're a gentleman without telling her you're a gentleman
Great work, just wondering why you did 4 seperate spots as apposed to a light bar all the way across?
Why drill on the back of the car when you could put the back lights on the Roof Rack! Looking good btw!
Got an awning going on the back of the rack at some point!
Not boq forgetting to do the giveaway haha
When you up this way doing the nc500?? We have a drift event on route if interested and timing is right.....
all this needs now is a 110 BQR number plate
Have u got any more Passat vids coming
Where did you get the cb aerial mount from?
cant wait for the land rover content
such a good series mate. Did you sound insulate/deaden under the roof liner?
Also who won last week comp
Love this build better than the cars 😂
Same tbh 😂
@@boqer123 please do a offroading video with camping mate 👌
In the video of you offroading didn't the truck bottom out on the suspension?
I just want to see this thing lifted even more 😌😏😏😏
hey boq im rob im a 24 mtber from fort william on nc 500 give us a shout when your about can show the trails
Why not ledbar ?
They’re lame
Matts of road recovery collaboration Please
@4:10
"If i can get away with it, i want to do it in one hole"
Getting quite ocd on this build 🤣🤣
Need some more 1.8t goodness get the cupra back out
Do you use Colin anymore?
I enjoy the Land Rover content, but is it weird I enjoy the Passat content more?
Just gonna say but the metrics you used for the spots was shocking 🤣, 2.8mm between each spot? Just under 3cm
Doesn't matter I see what you've done you've then times it by 10 for the rack 🤣
It was 2.8mm for my 140mm diagram which translated to 28cm on the rack haha
Yeah noticed afterwards what you'd done 🤣
@@WillGilbey1 although it should’ve said 28mm not 2.8 so you are right 😂
X marks the spots lol
Flat heads should only be to adjust carbs. They are horrible when holding anything on.
You kno the metal edges of the holes you drilled will rust because you didn’t prime/paint them..
Roof rack and body of defender is aluminium dw, doesn’t rust
If you lick your finger before you wipe sealer it wont go on your finger incase Andy didnt know with sealer all over his hand
I did lick !!!
giveaway thx mate
Are you sending telegram messages for prize winners?
with that cb you gotta be cheesy and have a call sign
Absolutely
A light bar wouldn't looked cleaner imo
Light bars are whack
@@boqer123 No hate but I know I'd prefer a collapsed sun that lights up from here to lands end compared to lanterns that focus on one spot. Each to their own I guess you do you :)
Andys fact check?
The bigger a animals brain , the bigger there yawn is
Shame the td5s are so underpowered.
Said nobody ever.
@@Jabber-ig3iw It's true! Unfortunately. I'm sure you can mess around with them but they are very very slow.
They just sound good ;)
Why would you not just get walkie talkies
I’ve got some and always forget to charge them 😂 plus this looks cooler
@@boqer123 can't deny that tbf!
