This Land Rover Discovery is owned and modified by Josh.

There is a lot of DIY stuff on this rig from electrics to the rear drawer/layout.

Impressive and well thought-out water system too, with two separate water containers with one of them being removable in case of emergency.

This episode is a bit of a budget build but I tell you what its more useful than some of the huge expensive builds I’ve seen.

Check out the video for more details…

Josh's Top 3 trips in the Land Rover:

. Fitzgerald river national park
. Stirling ranges, Denmark, Walpole, Pemberton
. Cheyne’s beach, Bremer Bay

Unstoppable moment in the Land Rover:

Pushing through overgrown tracks to remote locations without having to worry about scratching the paint

Most scary situation in the Land Rover:

Turning around on a narrow cliff side track in collie because I couldn’t reverse back down and I couldn’t get up as it was a stock Discovery without a winch. At least the view was nice.
