OK Guys. After getting three of my six Defenders back into the USA I have decided NOT to undertake the modification of my beautiful renovated Ex-UAE SOC 110 Hard Top named DUG (after the dog in the movie UP!).
I used this vehicle as a weekend desert driver in the United Arab Emirates (member UAE LRO group) for three years in preparation for a UAE to Cape Town to Singapore to NY Round the World trip. It was acquired and modified for me into a Round the World Expedition by the UK Army REME Maintenance Chief assigned to UAE Army from UAE Special Operations Command vehicle auction. However, present duty assignment brought me back to the USA last summer and I have to sell it to bring my Sandringham LR150 6x6 back home now.
Dug has been sitting in my LR workshop in Dubai for the last 8 months awaiting the changes to bring it back to the USA. We put over $20,000 in mods and repairs in this truck. I just frakin painted it days before the Customs & Border Patrol anti-Defender Jihad started! Most parts were shipped into UAE at great expense or carried back from UK/USA or Australia.
