wish to get his daily dosage of vitamin D.
An AEV snorkel feeds air through an Airaid filter to the
209kW/347Nm 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine; a set-up which came
in handy when Eric set off on a jaunt across the Simpson
Desert in 2016 – an expedition impressively completed in one
day. “We started at 6am in Birdsville, and by 6pm we were in
Dalhousie Springs,” Eric told us.
From the pilot’s seat, Eric has access to a Bully Dog
controller perched on the dash, as well as a GME radio for
remote-area communications. The interior is otherwise
standard.
“The build has been absolutely awesome,” Eric said. “I
have taken my rig to pretty much some of the hardest tracks
in Victoria and it has delivered.”
Eric told us he wouldn’t hesitate to use DBOR for another
Jeep build in the future. “I am absolutely pleased with the
overall product, and the wealth of knowledge that Bill has
about Jeeps is invaluable.”
A massive expedition is on the cards for Eric in the next
few weeks, and it looks like he has the perfect companion
for it. “The vehicle is about to embark on a journey to Cape
York, Fraser Island and then finishing off at the Glasshouse
Mountains, so watch this space!”544 http://www.4X4australia.com.auCUSTOM DEFENDER V FJ V WRANGLER
