website: GKM.comThe 2000 Land Rover Defender 130 Crew Cab Truck
offered here represents a rare and highly desirable example of Land
Rover's most rugged and versatile model. Originally acquired in the
Netherlands in 2021, this Defender underwent a complete frame-off
restoration before being imported into the U.S. in 2025. Every
detail was meticulously addressed during the rebuild, ensuring this
truck blends classic Defender character with modern upgrades.
Presented in left-hand drive configuration and built to an
exceptionally high standard, it is ready for both adventurous
off-road use and comfortable on-road driving.Powering this Defender
is a rebuilt 2.5L 5-cylinder TD5 turbo diesel engine, one of Land
Rover's most durable and torque-rich powerplants. The motor has
been enhanced with a Stage 2 ECU tune, an Allisport intercooler,
and a full engine overhaul, ensuring strong performance and
long-term reliability. Backing the engine is a 5-speed manual
gearbox that, along with an overhauled transfer case, delivers
smooth and confident power delivery across all conditions. Both the
front and rear axles were also rebuilt as part of the restoration,
underscoring the mechanical thoroughness of this truck.The
Defender?s restoration went far beyond mechanical systems,
extending to the structure, cosmetics, and interior. All stainless
fasteners were used throughout to combat corrosion, while new doors
were installed to achieve like-new fit and finish. A new 45-gallon
fuel tank significantly increases range, an essential upgrade for
overlanding and long-distance travel. The truck also benefits from
a 2-inch lift, new BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires, and Sawtooth
wheels, ensuring both rugged looks and off-road capability. With
just 29,000 kilometers (18,000 miles) recorded since its
restoration, the build remains fresh and ready to be
enjoyed.Inside, the Defender has been transformed into a far more
comfortable and refined space than when it left the factory. The
cabin is outfitted with a new full leather interior, Alcantara
headliner, and supportive seats that elevate the driving
experience. Modern conveniences include power door locks, remote
entry, and an upgraded sound system featuring a Bluetooth-enabled
radio, amplifier, upgraded speakers, and discreetly installed
subwoofers under the rear seats. These details combine to deliver a
driving environment that balances rugged utility with modern
luxury.Safety and usability upgrades were also addressed during the
build. The Defender is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes for
improved stopping power, LED lighting all around for greater
visibility, and a security system with alarm for peace of mind.
From long-distance expeditions to daily driving, these modern
enhancements make the truck not just a collectible piece of Land
Rover history, but also a highly usable machine.Overall, this 2000
Land Rover Defender 130 Crew Cab is a standout example of a
properly restored and thoughtfully upgraded classic 4x4. With its
rebuilt drivetrain, tasteful performance upgrades, luxurious
interior refinements, and rugged off-road capabilities, it offers
the best of both worldsheritage and modernity. Whether as a unique
collector?s piece, an adventure-ready overlander, or a statement
vehicle for everyday use, this Defender represents one of the
finest ways to enjoy Land Rover?s legendary engineering and
timeless design.
