That truly is the best Land Rover conversion I've ever seen. So utterly complete and well thought through. You could make a decent living building explorer conversions for people with more money than skillz.
Oh what a brilliant transformation! Especially loved the sunshade and the pop up roof. You won't need your Arctic gear in Morocco, hopefully!. But the nights might be chilly so cosy duvet! Stay safe and we can't wait to join you on another adventure. 🎉❤
Brilliant video again. I've watched them all, binge watching to catch up. My only regret watching them is that they make me wish that my wife and I could live the early years of our lives again. We wanted to travel but didn't take the plunge. Carry on as you are, you are a wonderful couple and so good for each other. I look forward to watching your Morocco trip. Good luck and safe journey.
Thanks very much guys, me and Jess were talking about this sort of thing the other day, if you could go back to an age and relive life what would it be, it’s a funny old thing hey
As I said about the Sainsbury’s van, the planning, thought and execution of this conversion really is second to none. Nothing flashy, every square inch has a reason to be there, absolutely brilliant. Can’t wait for next week!
Good morning you beautiful true blue travellers. You blow my mind with your ability to create useful space in confined areas. Thats 1 amazing machine and you need to patent your ideas! Looking forward to your Morocco adventures. Stay safe and stay happy. Xx
Wow I mean just wow John your a bleeding National treasure that land rover is I don't even have words to describe it .mate your seriously talented really I really can see people watching this episode and saying we got to get this guy working for us I mean if this is not British ingenuity at its best then I don't know what is you really blown me away seriously the build quality is second to none talk about thinking outside the box. I mean every word you're so talented the both of you don't be surprised if people are telling you that this build is the best they ever seen and I see a lot it's my job anyway much love respect and I'll 💯catch up with you guys next week 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👍👍
You know…you guys may have the nicest bunch of viewers on YT. Seriously! When reading the comments on your channel I start feeling a bit more positive about the world. And as always I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching. TL:DR…and this comment read my mind - Jon, your mechanical expertise reminds me of my Dad. He could pretty much transfer his skills into multiple things and solved problems creatively too. He built a whole mini from stuff he got from multiple scrap yards…he was trained as a motorcycle mechanic but basically taught himself everything from plumbing to building. (And that was in the days before t’internet of course, because I’m getting old.) Mum would have practical ideas about how to solve a problem and Dad would make them a reality. You guys are both hugely talented and seem to complement each other well, and I’m sure the future’s going to be full of rewarding adventures. Hopefully you’ll continue taking us all along with you ⭐️
Overlanding American here. Great build. Seriously, you guys get high marks for what you have accomplished. My wife was quick to suggest you consider making a Velcro-ed front cover that will seal in the utensils pockets on the back door. As you drive down dirt roads or over sandy areas, the amount of grit that finds its way into your cabinet is remarkable. We have found covering stuff that is exposed makes a huge difference. Can’t wait to see how your shake out trip to Spain and Morocco goes. Please provide details on the amount of back pain a Defender can produce after a long-haul trip. (We’re Jeep people, so we had to get at least one Defender dig in, right?). Best of luck. We’re very much enjoying your channel - and, yes, we have “liked” and “subscribed .”
😂😂😂 thanks guys, much appreciated, when we got out the sprinter into the defender it was a bit of a shock again 😂 so will take a bit of getting used to, thanks for the tips 😁👍
Wow I thought the sainsburys van was well made… this is incredible. Everything fits so well and the space you’ve made here and there is fantastic , for a small vehicle you’ve made it work extremely well guys , both of your skills put together always equals a quality build 🙌
That is the best setup I have ever seen so well thought out I love the tires not super extreme, super sized for looks but effective efficient easy to repair if needed. You both did a great job.
That’s a lovely compliment thanks mate really appreciate it 💙

I love it, I was searching for a defender built which includes everything and finally, I found the content what I wanted. Thanks for the video and information. I'm looking forward to your adventure guys!
You guys are so professional with everything that you do. Your defender looks brilliant with all the mod-cons. John your engineering is first class. Can't wait for the adventures to begin 👏👏👏👏
back in 81 i was on tour, no not whit a general, it was a capt.n whit a helm on his head yelling at my to slow down going downhill the green camouflage colored whit almost no brakes military landrover hopefully you gonna have also a wonderful ride, it sounds like big fun playing in the sand :-)
I'm one of the ones who found you on the Sainsbury's Van, but since watched the defender build. Super informative and defo taken a load of tips for our next build. One thing I was gonna mention was something I found for our electrics and not sure if you've come across as I don't think they advertise very well. CTEK. I was looking for something to charge the Leisure battery from the Alternator and Solar and their D250se is just amazing. And even trickle charges your starter battery from solar too!
“Plonker Pants”, hilarious 🤣. What a brilliant phrase! That’s a T-Shirt/Mug design when you start your merch store. Thanks for the video. Cheers, Colin.
Yep no worries I’ll drop the link below www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165579767608?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3TNWCy08Q7y&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=h77jMQulRBK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
You two just keep getting better and better - and so do your builds and fit outs. So looking forward to the Morocco adventure - thank you for sharing your lives with the world.
The sainsburys van was very impressive and I liked that a lot, but as a lover of ‘all things Landrover,’ I absolutely love the creativity and compactness of this within a cool British icon! Looking forward to your next trip! Need to convince the wife we NEED one of these in our lives now the kids are all adults and we can go away on our own😂
Well done! The only thing I would advise is to make a cover for your cutlery bag in the back. When (not if, but absolutely when!) you get dust inside the vehicle from sandy and dusty tracks, you don't want all of your cooking and eating implements covered in gritty sand. Just a cover with velcro would suffice. Cheers, y'all!
Thank you doing your videos i really look forward to a Saturday to watch them, i was very upset when John hurt himself the other week i could not stop thinking about him and was in tears (yes i'm a grow male adult) , hope you have fun and keep us updated, and get some merch out soon please , thank you for keeping us entertained and look after yourself's, love to both of you, Dunc x.
The Landy is like a Tardis you have certainly put a lot of thought into the design. Let's hope Postman Pat delivers the new mattress see you both next week
I had watched the conversion vlogs, but since getting caught up in your awesome sainsburys van I had forgotten just how stunning the defender is. Jon - master craftsman, yes yes, likes to get naked and wear Jess’s clothes and inform us of all things bungee. But Jon, you are extremely talented. Not forgetting General Princess Guns of steel pissy pants awesome Aussie gal Jess. Immense talent, skill and the best Aussie UA-cam has. Can’t wait for your next adventures. True Blue Travellers is the best UA-cam channel of this type. Russ
Hi guys never realised beatiful the defender is can’t wait for Morocco you won’t be that far from me I am in Tenerife can’t wait for this next series keep smiling
Amazing vid as always. Weve had a true blue week this week, we both watched your videos from the very first till now , and we can both say you have become more confident infront of the camera. So envious of your australia trip. Thank you for keeping us entertained every week . And stay safe on your next trip x x x
All I want to know is, when is Jons; cookbook coming out we both love a pot noodle and burnt toast is a must in our household too. See you both next week xx
I saw the first tour and watched this one as well because I'm enthralled!!!!! I just love this build and can't wait to see your Moroccan adventures in it! You two have such vision and talent!!! ❤😊
I've seen two on you tube after looking at a lot seen another, which is similar quality to yours tho like I said your use of space etc is exceptional the other one is an old defender ambulance to be fair!actually following your page now watching your old fire engine build also looking good can't wait to see it finished
The ingenuity and execution of that build was just astounding, I know you will give it the expedition it deserves. Really looking forward to seeing the results, after such a great Arctic trip expectations will be high ( no pressure) 💕
Love your Defender build Its so compact and has almost everything For me it's missing an indoor shower but love it anyway! Have a great week and see you Saturday Love and hugs Sharon ❤
Can't wait to see it in action in Morrocco and Spain! You guys are amazing - that's a really fabulous,. professional build and so well thought out. Hope you get the bits you need as my Saturday mornings wouldn't be the same!
I m so stoked ! I think this is the most complet and well think Land Rover build I've seen. It gives me so much idea for my build. Keep up the good works ! I cant wait to see whats next ! 😁
Wow what a cracking conversion that is.😍 You are both very talented at everything that you do, I'm looking forward to seeing you put this Beast through its paces 👍🫶
Impressive Defender guys. I followed your build on it and will go back and do it again, you must be well chuffed with what you`ve done to her. Roll on next week.
Hi from 🇫🇷 👋 I have to say that’s a badass build with a lot of great ideas that I have never seen on other Defender builds on YT. The final result looks so clean. Well done!! Can’t wait to follow your next adventure.
You 2 are amazing, I’m on sick at minute with slipped disc, so I watched you from your very 1st vlog….. you both are my Saturday morning treat…. Can’t wait for more of your adventures ❤
Love this conversion you are both very talented and I am looking forward to seeing your next journey as I loved your last series especially the photography.
Thanks so much. We’re a bit gutted because we won’t be able to use the drone in Morocco, I did try an get a licence but unfortunately a no go. Might have to sit on the roof rack 😂😂😂
Arrgg just catching up after having a horrendous time! This conversion is amazingly well thought out, and OF COURSE well executed 👏👏 I seriously need you guys to change some aspects in my van 😍
@@truebluetravellers thanks, the biggest problem apart from injury, won't now be sorted until possibly Nov or beyond 😳 But means I'm still able to drive this year at least - earning to others NEVER use Esure!!!!
That is really really nice but I would have been tempted to try to make an internal locking mechanism for the roof so if you arrive and it's chucking it down you could unlock it while inside and push it up. Brilliant design.
Wow and wow. Fantastic work and so innovative using every bit of available space. Can’t wait until we see you both again. Hopefully that mattress will arrive in time for you and not hold you back.
So after watching this, and your Sainsbury’s van build, I am now going back and watching from the start in Oz! I absolutely love you guys and following your adventures!! ❤ keep it up 🎉
absoulte perfection guys by far the best landy conversion ive seen you both have an amzing eye for detail and your both perfectionists, watched the landy build a long while back but this video showed the masterpeice off by far my fave of your builds you've utilised every mm .... thats what she said lol peace and love guys 😊
I have a little adventure story for you.Long ago when I was 23 years old and in the army in South Africa.I was driving along a gravel road in a long wheelbase Land Rover which was completely open.All we had was the windscreen no canopy .This was in Northern Angola during the Civil War.Anyway here I am driving along with two other mates (And we had already driven miles and miles that day) When suddenly the left rear wheel and half shaft came off the vehicle and flew into the bush.So we are stuck as other traffic along that road was maybe one vehicle every four or five hours.But there's a small army base not far away but it was about one to one and a half hours drive.(You couldn't just walk back to it) So now we sat the three of us in the middle of Fuck All with my rifle and two 9mm pistols.(But I had plenty of ammo for my rifle if needed) Anyway after about three hours a truck came along and said he would call at the small army base and tell them to send a recovery truck.So a while later the recovery truck arrived and took us all back to the small base.They had a mechanic who repaired our Land Rover and the next morning we were on our way. Hope you like my little adventure.But the moral of the story is as much as you can "Be Prepared".
We love hearing stories like this as we try and picture them in our heads. One of those stories that’s shit at the time but an amazing adventure to look back on. Glad you made it out ok 👍
Love the kitchen utensil storage, keep meaning to make something for mine.....The pop top and 270 awning are great additions. Think that is the best pop top I've seen with full stand up access - might have to investigate one for our next build..... I've heard that the Snorkel is also great in dusty environments, especially if you are following other vehicles.
A nice defender guys. One thing I noticed though is you have all the storage on the driver's side of the vehicle. And all the water equipment. Just be careful when tackling obstacles that make the body rock. But it is a nice set up you have. I'm not knocking it. 👌🏼👍🏼.
You made me want an alu cab pop Defender even more now! I found you guys because of that build! Will do a re-run of that. The snorkel will actually help with cleaner air on sandy dunes, and will be a good safety when wading even knee high deep! Not ideal to get hydrolocked in a river 🌊
Great vlog I am going back to watch the build I have to say you guys have made a great job of it looking forward to seeing you guys use it for real. Enjoy
😊 Lovely vlog again. You two think if absolutely everything..." no space left empty" you make the most of every inch of space. Only sad thing..no out takes.....take care U2...Eileen
Hello to the both of you. Have to say.. you two build some awesome vehicles. The land rover looks bomb proof. Love your channel and looking forward to your next adventure. All the best and thank you for sharing 👍
Thank you for another great video :) Instead of changing the mattress why not add a mattress topper. They are amazing! you can also roll them up and store them when not in use. Happy travels x
Thanks, we did consider this but the mattress toppers with the original mattress work out thicker than the new mattress and there’s only so much room with the roof down for the mattress to fit in, we could test it with the Sainsbury’s can mattress and it closed, just so thought best to go with something we know works 👍
That truly is the best Land Rover conversion I've ever seen. So utterly complete and well thought through. You could make a decent living building explorer conversions for people with more money than skillz.
Thanks very much 👍👍
It's amazing how you have fitted everything in, without making it look cramped. I'm looking forward to the Morocco adventure. Great video guys.
Thanks very much mate 👍
The design and build is pure genius.
Thanks very much that’s ever nice of you to say💙
Saturday morning again, J+J on the Computer and a nice Cup of Coffee.
Nice way to start the weekend, seeya next week guys 😘

What an awesome rig 😊 my favourite part has to be the custom canvas storage on the rear door, seriously good job on that, practical and elegant 😊
Thanks very much nick im dead proud of that one ☺️
What a great vehicle.
It amazes me how you manage to fit so much into the defender.
Keep up the great videos. Enjoy your adventures ❤
Cheers mate, hopefully it all works how we hoped 👍👍💙
That is the best setup I have ever seen so well thought out I love the tires not super extreme, super sized for looks but effective efficient easy to repair if needed. You both did a great job.

it will be an inspiration for my old one from 1996. Many thanks!!

hopefully you gonna have also a wonderful ride, it sounds like big fun playing in the sand

😂😂😂 👍 yep hopefully should be a blast
Great build, looking forward to the Morocco series. I’m sure it will be as good as the arctic adventure. Still the best channel on UA-cam.
That’s so lovely of you to say ☺️

One thing I was gonna mention was something I found for our electrics and not sure if you've come across as I don't think they advertise very well. CTEK. I was looking for something to charge the Leisure battery from the Alternator and Solar and their D250se is just amazing. And even trickle charges your starter battery from solar too!
I’ve seen them ctek ones but not really looked into them, thanks I’ll have to check them out 👍👍
Hi Jon & Jess…..Wow absolutely amazing all you have done with the Defender, I so cannot wait for more of your videos! 😊
Thanks very much 😊
A lot of weight on that right side of the car, dont underestimate the importance of vehicle weight balance and physics! awesome rig
Thanks very much, yeah when I build another I’ll take that into account a bit more 👍👍👍

Awesome design and fitting on this Land Rover, I love that the bed lifts up for full height standing...genius. Look forward to your adventures in it.😀
Thanks so much, can’t take credit for the roof design, it’s made by Alu Cab, they are pricey but an amazing bit of engineering
You two just keep getting better and better - and so do your builds and fit outs. So looking forward to the Morocco adventure - thank you for sharing your lives with the world.

Thanks so much, really appreciate it. Can’t wait to test her out properly!!
That is absolutely the coolest build I’ve ever seen
Thanks 😊
You 2 are amazing, I’m on sick at minute with slipped disc, so I watched you from your very 1st vlog….. you both are my Saturday morning treat…. Can’t wait for more of your adventures ❤
Oh that does not sound good, I hope you get on the mend soon 💙
Love this conversion you are both very talented and I am looking forward to seeing your next journey as I loved your last series especially the photography.
Thanks so much. We’re a bit gutted because we won’t be able to use the drone in Morocco, I did try an get a licence but unfortunately a no go. Might have to sit on the roof rack 😂😂😂
You two are truly talented , great conversion 🎉
Thanks very much 😊
Arrgg just catching up after having a horrendous time! This conversion is amazingly well thought out, and OF COURSE well executed 👏👏 I seriously need you guys to change some aspects in my van 😍
Oh no that doesn’t sound good, hopefully your all sorted now 👍
@@truebluetravellers thanks, the biggest problem apart from injury, won't now be sorted until possibly Nov or beyond 😳 But means I'm still able to drive this year at least - earning to others NEVER use Esure!!!!
Brilliant as usual your trip up to the cold climate was great looking forward to your trip to Morocco and threw Spain. Great conversion.
Thanks very much mate 👍👍
Wow! What a phenomenal vehicle! 🤩 Looking forward to your Morocco adventures! 🇬🇧🇲🇦❤️
Thanks so much, can’t wait to put her to proper use!!
Wow! The build quality is amazing!!
Thanks 👍
That is really really nice but I would have been tempted to try to make an internal locking mechanism for the roof so if you arrive and it's chucking it down you could unlock it while inside and push it up. Brilliant design.
Yeah we saw a few other designs that had done that, plus it’s better security really as opening from the outside isn’t great for that
Wow how fab .It looks incredible .Looking forward to the journey .Well done both
Thanks mate 👍
Absolutely brilliant. Well done
Thanks 👍
what a talented pair you guys are cant wait for your next adventures stay safe
Thanks very much mate 👍👍
Nice tour and definitely worth anyone watching the full build especially fitting the roof box and addition of the extra struts and dampers 😃👍🏻🙌
Thanks mate much appreciated
Great to see you both back and well, great video as usual, look forward to next week, have a great weekend
Thanks very much mate and same to you too 👍
Love it, everything is thought of and every space is utilised to the fullest. that and she looks like an absolute beast!
😂😂😂 thanks, the hulk is ready to roll
Looks great you 2. Hope the engineer' s HEAD & BRAIN are healing and he's given up doing donuts on the road All the best stay safe.
Thanks very much, yes he’s back to his annoying ‘normal’ self 😂 I’ll try and keep him in one piece
Wow and wow. Fantastic work and so innovative using every bit of available space. Can’t wait until we see you both again. Hopefully that mattress will arrive in time for you and not hold you back.
Thanks very much Isobel fingers crossed 🤞💙
So after watching this, and your Sainsbury’s van build, I am now going back and watching from the start in Oz! I absolutely love you guys and following your adventures!! ❤ keep it up 🎉
Thanks very much mate, it took us a bit to get into it when we first started filming 😂😁👍
absoulte perfection guys by far the best landy conversion ive seen you both have an amzing eye for detail and your both perfectionists, watched the landy build a long while back but this video showed the masterpeice off by far my fave of your builds you've utilised every mm .... thats what she said lol peace and love guys 😊
😂😂😂😂 cheers mate 👍
I have a little adventure story for you.Long ago when I was 23 years old and in the army in South Africa.I was driving along a gravel road in a long wheelbase Land Rover which was completely open.All we had was the windscreen no canopy .This was in Northern Angola during the Civil War.Anyway here I am driving along with two other mates (And we had already driven miles and miles that day) When suddenly the left rear wheel and half shaft came off the vehicle and flew into the bush.So we are stuck as other traffic along that road was maybe one vehicle every four or five hours.But there's a small army base not far away but it was about one to one and a half hours drive.(You couldn't just walk back to it) So now we sat the three of us in the middle of Fuck All with my rifle and two 9mm pistols.(But I had plenty of ammo for my rifle if needed) Anyway after about three hours a truck came along and said he would call at the small army base and tell them to send a recovery truck.So a while later the recovery truck arrived and took us all back to the small base.They had a mechanic who repaired our Land Rover and the next morning we were on our way. Hope you like my little adventure.But the moral of the story is as much as you can "Be Prepared".
We love hearing stories like this as we try and picture them in our heads. One of those stories that’s shit at the time but an amazing adventure to look back on. Glad you made it out ok 👍
Love the kitchen utensil storage, keep meaning to make something for mine.....The pop top and 270 awning are great additions. Think that is the best pop top I've seen with full stand up access - might have to investigate one for our next build..... I've heard that the Snorkel is also great in dusty environments, especially if you are following other vehicles.
Thanks Linz, the defender game is all new to us so hoping we have done everything we need 😊
Looks amazing, lots of thoughtful ideas in this build, looking forward to seeing it on the road 😊
Thanks mate 👍
A nice defender guys. One thing I noticed though is you have all the storage on the driver's side of the vehicle. And all the water equipment. Just be careful when tackling obstacles that make the body rock. But it is a nice set up you have. I'm not knocking it. 👌🏼👍🏼.
Thanks mate, yeah very good point 👌👍👍
You made me want an alu cab pop Defender even more now! I found you guys because of that build! Will do a re-run of that.
The snorkel will actually help with cleaner air on sandy dunes, and will be a good safety when wading even knee high deep! Not ideal to get hydrolocked in a river 🌊
😂😂 thanks 😁, yeah I think if the water is bigger than a puddle we will be flapping 😂👍
You 2 are wasted, such talent you have, an amazing Landrover Fit-Out also ❤
Morrocco awaits you, as do we with your Vlogs...can't wait 😃 xx
That’s so lovely Gill thank you, so lovely to hear you’re coming with us 💙
Great vlog I am going back to watch the build I have to say you guys have made a great job of it looking forward to seeing you guys use it for real. Enjoy
Thanks very much Mike 👍
@@truebluetravellers always. Enjoy
That is one top conversion love it always wanted a Defender
Thanks very much 👍
Wow blown away by this conversion ❤
Thanks mate 💪👍
Finally, i've been waiting for this tour for a minute
Thanks 👍
😊 Lovely vlog again. You two think if absolutely everything..." no space left empty" you make the most of every inch of space. Only sad thing..no out takes.....take care U2...Eileen
😂😂😂 thanks Eileen, we had to be on the ball with this one as the rain was coming in fast 😂
Hello to the both of you. Have to say.. you two build some awesome vehicles. The land rover looks bomb proof. Love your channel and looking forward to your next adventure. All the best and thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks Garry 👍
Absolutely awesome build conversion, that landie will deffo look after you both❤
Thanks very much mate 👍👍
Thank you for another great video :) Instead of changing the mattress why not add a mattress topper. They are amazing! you can also roll them up and store them when not in use. Happy travels x
Thanks, we did consider this but the mattress toppers with the original mattress work out thicker than the new mattress and there’s only so much room with the roof down for the mattress to fit in, we could test it with the Sainsbury’s can mattress and it closed, just so thought best to go with something we know works 👍
Best setup ive ever seen
Thanks 😁
You make practical and beautifully finished expedition vehicles.)))
Thanks 😁👍
