Default $200,000 budget for Defender 110 or 135 build, what would you do?

Thanks for taking the time to read my post, how's the headline grabbing you? Some may say.. whoa whoa you are paying too much, etc etc. I want a beast, and I've picked a company to build it. I'll leave that unknown for a bit, but this should be fun to watch build up!

Anyways, give me your pics and dream drivetrain combinations. I'm personally leaning toward a LC9 (350 HP ) 5speed and an Orion Transfer Case, with 4:1 low range.

It's going to be coated with Linex or Kevlar like my jeep. And built like a zombie attack vehicle.

Something like this one

Nice response for a new member, I'm guessing you are under 25 and a burger flipper with that level of being a hater. Anyways not my fault, when you see me in Vegas with my rig, I'm sure you will tell me in person how nice it is too. Idiot

Yep. 11 bucks an hour actually. My acne is really bad.

Under statements are way more powerful. The loudest dog in the pack is never the alpha. The alpha doesn't have to announce his $200,000 budget. Then ask how it grabs me. Need attention much?

You are the troll here looking for attention, my post was honest and sincere and I'm sure other members will shortly be telling you to shut up. But whatever the case, if you feel I'm trying to "get attention" .. the only attention I want is from hopefully knowledgeable non hater LandRover owners in this forum.

I know FJ40's, Muscle Cars and recently a H1 Hummer. I'm a collector and I'm not going to apologize for being one.

Also forum administrators, if you are looking for paid members.. these are the idiots you want to silence. Not a nice welcome for a new member.

I do love the 110's! Nice rig and thank you I will check about portals. I'm interested in finding someone that can make sure my build is going to be all that it can be, a paid consultant. Any members that can be recommended? Please don't say Shiftyonthefly lol


Here's a 2006 H1 Alpha Hummer I just had built up. A 80 FJ40 and a Turbo Diesel BJ45 I'm building as well.

So sensitive. I assumed someone who drives an "alpha " hummer would be way more tough than that.

I'm sorry but your opening post was sorta douchey. Sounds very much like bragging. My apologies for the ruffled feathers.

You have to be younger than 25 the way you talk and hate. It's sad to see you are like that as reading your posts it does seem you are helpful with others. Why not just do a full apology for coming off like an ahole to a new member that is here to ask assistance?

As for me being thick skinned or not, believe me I could care less what you think. But others are judging you more right now than myself in this forum. Which is why you should try a little harder in your apology effort.

We are both in Vegas, PM me your phone number. I'll call and see if you are up for being hired as a consultant.
