Overland Expo West is where real rigs show up. It’s exactly where @classicoverland belongs. We build Defenders to be driven. Long miles, rough terrain, real ownership. Every build is designed around how you actually travel, not how it looks parked. Our Signature Series is a full body-off, down-to-the-nuts-and-washers restoration with modern drivability built in. The Warthog Series is a true refurbishment. Simple, durable, and built to be used. If you’re at Expo West, come find us at Q70. Step inside and experience what a Defender feels like when it’s built with purpose. Built for the way you move. This is the Defender, done right. @Yapping_About_Cars
