Apparently he’s selling these kits. Surprised LR wouldn’t try to take him out.

Honestly even though the front is from a Defender it really bares little resemblance and doesn't give you that "I just saw a Defender" feeling in yourself.
The windshield throws the look off and if I only at it from the front of the windshield the wheels/tires still throws the look off.
The only Jeep part that I think looks good on Defender are the side view mirrors that RiverMike did. Ironically I had Jeep mirrors on my Hummer incase I hit a tree in the woods.

I disagree with every point regarding why a Defender is not and should not be a daily driver.
My daily driver has been a Land Rover Series or defender since 1992 when I retired our 1958 MG ZB Varitone by parking it in the garage.
Before that I owned Land Rovers, but they were not a daily driver.
I call bullshit on can't drive at highway speeds.

$22k and you supply the Jeep.

Looks a lot nicer than the H1 front end kits that were floating around a decade+ ago

Yep, our 110 cruised easily at 120 kph which was the speed limit in Brasil.
However it was interesting driving it in Sào Paulo as a daily driver. Some streets required a backup to make it the turn.
Always have felt any Rover can be a daily driver no matter the location. Tokyo was a bit tight for the Disco yet it was fun.

that's actually kinda cool
Hi Guys, I'm the one who built the Jeep / Land Rover. I'm sorry if my comment upset you. My 1977 Toyota FJ40 is not a daily commuter for a long commute (I.e. over 30 minutes) nor is my 1992 Mercedes 250 GD. It would just be too noisy, to slow, etc. The Defender for many people like you, I'm sure it is fine as a daily commuter when traveling over 70 MPH for 30+ minutes in rain or shine. Thanks for watching my video.Yep, our 110 cruised easily at 120 kph which was the speed limit in Brasil.

I'm the one who built the Jeep / Land Rover. Thank you for commenting. It took me several months of trail and error. I absolutely love driving it, so much fun when someone approaches me and asks about the vehicle.
To me, that's the worst thing about owning a Defender. I usually just say its my wife's car and I don't know much about it.
