Tango 2.0
Our 2010 Land Rover Defender Camper
MAKE & MODEL: 2010 Land Rover Defender 110
HOME BASE: Yorkshire, England
PURPOSE: Go-Anywhere Workhorse, originally built for Africa
COUNTRIES VISITED: 21 and counting
DATES OWNED: 2019 - Present
HISTORY: This golden glory caught our eye from across the globe. We were in Bolivia at the time, on our first trip, and looking at Defenders back in England to build out for the next leg. We love our LR3 (Disco 3), but after hitting the 200K-mile mark on it we wanted a bit more peace of mind as we prepared to traverse the barren African landscape. Previously a county government workhorse, this orange beaut only had 30K miles on the clock. Since making it back to England we have done a full overhaul, from top to bottom, transforming Tango into an expedition-ready beast that we envisioned he would be.
LR3
OUR LR3 BUILD
MAKE & MODEL: 2005 Land Rover LR3 (Discovery 3)
HOME BASE: Houston, Texas (Previously Newport Beach, California)
PURPOSE: A build that could go the distance, comfortably.
COUNTRIES VISITED: 14
DATES OWNED: 2017 - Present
HISTORY: Once a luxury “grocery-getter” in Souther California, we rescued this ol' girl on her way into the emergency room (i.e. she needed a new gear box and was on her last leg). We scooped her up, made the gear-box swap, built her out over a two year period and then drove out of our drive-way and to the bottom of the world.
