seven years, this Defender combines timeless design with powerful
upgrades, making it equally suited for off-road adventures or
weekend cruises. Built to an exceptional standard, it reflects a
careful balance between rugged authenticity and refined
customization.At the heart of the transformation is a significant
performance upgrade: a modern LT 5.3L L83 V8 engine paired with a
6L80E automatic transmission. This powertrain brings a level of
smoothness, reliability, and power that far exceeds the
capabilities of the original diesel engine. Topped with a Cadillac
engine cover, it?s clear this swap wasn?t just for utilityit?s a
statement piece under the hood. With just 117 miles logged since
the build, the drivetrain is virtually brand new and ready for

sanded, primed, and painted for a flawless finish. All new doors
and a new rear crossmember ensure structural integrity, while
maintaining the classic boxy silhouette that has become iconic
worldwide. The vehicle rides on BF Goodrich All Terrain tires that
not only enhance its aggressive stance but also improve traction
and performance in off-road conditions.Inside, modern comforts
blend seamlessly with utilitarian style. The cabin features new
black Puma seating, a fresh carpet install, and a Safety Devices
roll cage for added protection. The GPS speedometer provides
accurate and easy-to-read informationparticularly useful given the
drivetrain upgradewhile the newly installed air conditioning system
makes for a much more comfortable experience in warmer
climates.This Defender also features a swing-away tire carrier at
the rear, a practical addition for both appearance and utility.
Every detail of the build shows a deep respect for the original
vehicle?s ethos while thoughtfully integrating modern enhancements.

backroads, at car meets, or simply as a head-turning daily
driver.With a clean Michigan title and a history of indoor storage,
