Chassis and Suspension

This build began with a body-off-frame restoration with great attention to detail.

Updated with Puma exterior components, the body retains the iconic Defender look with refined, contemporary details. Black tubular rock sliders and rear bumper perfectly compliment the exo skeleton roof rack and custom front grills.

Interior Refinement

The interior has been reimagined with custom upholstered black bucket seats adorned in diamond-stitched leather and suede for an opulent yet rugged feel. The Puma dash upgrade, power windows, and Speed Hut gauges are welcome premium upgrades.
