This is a two owner Defender I have owned since 1997. It was 2 years old and had just 2500 miles on it when I bought it. It was first owned by Franklin Graham. I have always been very particular with its care. It is -1961 of the NAS Defenders that were brought to the US. It' s a great truck, I just don' t have the time to enjoy it now with young children and busy schedule. It has the newer style rail top, and I also have a bikini top and bimini top to cover the rear seating area and rear speakers and protect from the weather when using the smaller bikini top. It has the Camel Trophy brush bar with the Rovers North heavy duty front bumper, and Superwinch Husky 8.5k lb winch. Land Rover heavy duty suspension springs have been installed to accommodate for the extra weight of the bumper and winch; this also lifts the suspension 2" over stock. It has two Hella fog lights in the grill and 4 Hella driving lights on top of the roll bar for extra off-road lighting. I have upgraded the soundsystem to a Alpine unit with bluetooth and ipod/phone capability. It has a powerful Kenwood amplifier driving it' s 4 main speakers and a JL Audio 8" sub in the back. It sounds great! It has black steel wheels on now with BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires, but I also have the stock alloy wheels to go with it as well. I installed the diamond plating wing protectors. It has a custom made exhaust that is freer flowing, and has a much improved sound without being too loud. I have original alloy wheels to go with it. It is equipped with rock sliders, front and rear Rover' s North differential covers, thick aluminum Land Rover front skid plate, and also has a Detroit Locker in the rear differential, greatly increasing its capabilities off-road. Detroit Locker The Detroit Locker is a 100%-automatic locking differential that provides ultimate traction for mild to extreme vehicle applications. Its unique, bullet-proof design is engineered to keep both wheels in drive mode - even is one wheel is lifted off the ground. Operation During straight-line driving, the Detroit Locker captures 100% of available torque and sends it equally to both wheels. In turns and maneuvers, the internal components unlock to allow one wheel to spin faster or slower as necessary (free wheel). When the vehicle returns to a straight-line driving path, the components re-engage and provide power to both wheel ends.
