The ecd automotive design Custom Defender combines the best of off-road prowess with the sophistication and refinement you’d expect from a modern Land Rover.
Why are defenders so good off-road?
Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind classic Defender or something more high-tech, here are some custom car shops in the US that specialize in creating your dream SUV.
Overfinch
Located in Orlando, Florida, Overfinch claims to be the “ultimate expression” of Land Rover’s trucks. They specialize in frame-up cumplete custom rebuilds and a la carte upgrades for every make and model, including the iconic Defender.
Himalaya
Founded by brothers Tom and Elliot Humble, the brothers grew up 40 miles from Land Rover’s Solihull factory. Their parents encouraged them to emigrate to the United States to pursue their dreams of building custom cars.
They have an extensive library of vintage Land Rovers to work with. Their goal is to create the most unique and one-of-a-kind Defenders in the world, combining old-school British expertise with master craftsmanship.
The Custom Defender offers more off-road prowess than the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco, while also being a much more luxurious vehicle. The Defender is priced well below the comparable SUVs, which makes it a great value.
A Surround Camera
The Defender’s surround-view camera renders a 3D-rendered image of the surroundings, even when driving at highway speeds. It can even warn you to avoid a collision with nearby vehicles. That’s a novelty that you won’t find in most luxury SUVs. This feature is especially useful if you plan to use the Defender to explore wild areas, as it gives you an idea of how far you can go and how difficult it will be to get back on track.
