Great job - this really helps reinforce your commitment to being fully self-contained and keeping everything (and everyone) within the vehicle. It's a great evolution of your Defender build, well done! 👏
I had Paul to fit a roof top conversion on my Toyota hz78 last year, amazing quality fantastic person cannot understand why people fit an inferior Alu Cab product. Hope you enjoy your new conversion.
Very cool thanks for sharing this. Interested to see what you find once you start using it. Love the workshop, lots of really great Dutch small businesses start off in a similar way. Overtime is always taxed at the highest tax rate here, so lots of Engineers end up expanding their hobby into a small business.
Thanks for the message! We were impressed by the quality of their work while spending time in the workshop. He's been doing this for several years (I think 20 if I'm not mistaken)
Cracking. I'll be looking to do the same for my daughter's 110 build ready for her grand tour next year after finish school.I might seek your advice! You've got a great Defender. Love what you've done and the passion for adventure.
Bonjour Goede middag Guten Tag … and finally hello from Germany 🇩🇪 To be honest, I like it..👍 You can drive and sleep four people in this car AND use it to get around town. Job well done madame ✌️ One critic I would have… I think you have the yawning on the wrong side of the car. If you get a 270 degree one, the yawing should be on the driver side, since the door in the back opens the way it does. But hey, that’s just me 👍 Stay safe everybody
Thank you :) yes made for our family with all 4 sleeping inside like we wanted it to be. Ah awning is on the correct side for our use, I know it's not common to have it this side because of the rear door but it was well thought before changing ;)
@@simonevaccari8313 You can forget it! they never answer mails,no phone nothing.I also would like to know where to get the roof stuff for some small repairs nothing never again
Wow. So many deicisons to make on layout, type of pop-up roof. Were these options similarly priced? I do love the elevating bed platform with the Icarus. We hope to keep some full height standing space down one side.
We're very happy to have chosen this one and the elevated bed is very useful. PSP work is top-notch. Price can vary a lot depending on options and customization.
Looks fantastic very well done, enjoy your time using it , I know you have no roof rack which I think is a bonus but where did your old roof go , just incase you ever want to revert the truck back to original specification have you brought it back to Switzerland 👍🏻😃
Bonne soir les voyageurs. Merveilleux toit. J'habite également en Suisse. J'aimerais vous demander quelle est la procédure à suivre pour immatriculer le toit en Suisse auprès de l'office des véhicules. Je vous remercie d'avance et vous souhaite un bon voyage 😀. David.
Salut David, psp nous a fourni un document avec diverses info et tamponné, puis il faut prendre rdv au bureau des autos pour ajouter le toit relevable sur la carte grise
@@offtrackfamily Merci beaucoup pour ta réponse Émeline! 👍🏻😀👍🏻 C'est un vrai plaisir de pouvoir vous suivre dans vos voyages! Qui sait, peut-être que nous allons nous retrouver avec nos familles une fois de retour en Suisse. 😉 Pour le moment, je vous envoie chaleureuses salutations et souhaite à toute la belle famille beaucoup de santé! Ciao ciao David.
Hi, nice post and great pop-up roof! In the video I could see your interior design, made of aluminum profiles. Do you also have a contribution to this? Did you do the interior work yourself or who delivered it? Thanks!
@@offtrackfamily I understand as I was thinking so thou, I’m stock on the decision of make it same as yours with a lift kit from ARB or go full airbags in the 4 corners and add a pop top conversion, I’m thinking 🤔 as is way cheaper to ship in/out of Australia by using shipping containers, as Europe and USA have way more port facilities for RORO thanks for the info, I call my defender Miura I think you choose make your kids come out with a name for the rig give more character I reckon keep those videos coming please
I’ve been following your videos and I’m not sure why you think the alu-cab is an inferior product. I’ve had one on my defender for 5 years with 100s of nights enjoyed comfortably inside. It doesn’t rattle, it doesn’t leak, the bed is longer than than yours and the icarus has more standing room. The Icarus doesn’t have hinges exposed to the elements to potentially rust and the bed is lifted and held by struts, not a hook. I’m sure you’re happy with the unit you picked but there’s no point talking poorly about a very good product.
Oh never said it's an inferior product, we cannot do any comparison as we never had the alucab one. It's the most common one to see on this type of conversion and it wasn't what we wanted to have. Great to know you like yours and enjoy it :)
Ciao Emeline. Con piacere ho seguito questo video e conoscendo l'attenzione che mettete per le vostre scelte immagino sia quella giusta. Mi piacerebbe però sapere perché avete scartato le due opzioni principali offerte da due importanti aziende come Alu Cab ed Ex-Tec / RRconcept. Personalmente monterò tra meno di un mese sul mio Defender il sistema di Ex-Tec, sperando ovviamente sia la scelta giusta (almeno per me). Grazie e comunque complimenti per questo ultimo importante upgrade.
Thanks for your message! The main reason is that we didn't want one who used the original roof. Now that we saw PSP work we're confident it was the best choice for us. I must admit it isn't easy to choose especially with the cost of this type of conversion. Would be great to know how you're happy with yours when it's on :)
@@alexl75oldtimer ciao Alex, grazie, ovviamente non vedo l'ora di vedere il montaggio. Al momento mi accontento dell'omologazione TUV tedesca fatta da Ex-tec, poi vedrò il da fare con la legge italiana...
now finished with Popup Roof, looks perfect. One question, how is your private(sexual) life with kids nearby. Mine is 2years, and for longer campings its fine(he doesnt undestand things). YET :D
Thanks! Cannot say how this part of our life will be manage with this new setup. Previously we had two separate "rooms" as 1 rtt + 1 interior setup so no worries on that side ;)
Personally I dislike the look of it, function is nice however. I prefer the stock roof looks. I'm sure it will work great for you guys though. It all comes down to personal preference. Good luck with the new setup! Cheers!

Great to know! Agreed for Paul's pro service :)
Perfect construction by a very professional company , very well done!!
I agree, very pro work and service :)

@@offtrackfamily Thank you. That would be great. 👍
Wauw, looking very nice. ❤
I hope to run into you guy’s one day and check out your beautiful rig.
Thanks! :)
Congratulations!. That looks really amazing and practical. Worth the cost :) Too bad i can't get it here in Malaysia.
Thanks for your message! He does do the install in his workshop in the Netherlands but you can contact him if you'd really like to have it ;)
@@offtrackfamily i will :). In the mean time, do post more videos of that pop up roof. Would like to see more!
Looks really good
🙌😃
Looking good soon time for another adventure
It's time yes 😃
Fantastic job as always. Great well designed set up.
Thank you Wayne :)
Wow, that looks really good 👍
Thanks!
Wow bad ass Land Rover epic overlanding ready for any thing

The pop-top roof on my Defender is from X-Vision-X in Pforzheim and am 200% satisfied with it.
Thanks for sharing this! :)
I also got it from x-Vision X the roof it is ok the service is a disaster and my zippers of the rear big windows are shit
@@gdlerner oh woah. and they aren't assisting you for the replacement ?

Looking amazing, and ARB must be listening to customers who want new colours 👏👏👏💕
Very happy with our new add :)

Thank you! We also like this new look. Old roof will be re-used by PSP. In any case I don't think we'll go back stock :)
Hello, Very nice... see you soon
Thanks!

Follow your channel for a while now, what are the odds that my landcruiser 78 has the same roof mod at psp next year. 😂
Oh so cool! I'm sure you're looking forward to have it done :)
完美的车。
🙌
Does water eventually destroy the upstairs?
Nope
Good job!
Always enjoy your videos!
Any idea what is the weight of your 110 now, after all the reconstructions?
Thanks! Haven't weighed it yet 🙈
I'm from Brazil and I would like to make this conversion in my defender. Could you give me some project information for me to use as a reference?
Os ha quedado muy bien. Felicidades. Es posible saber el precio que os ha costado?. Gracias.
Thanks! It's custom made and we have chosen several different option so price wouldn't be accurate to everybody
Hi, nice post and great pop-up roof!
In the video I could see your interior design, made of aluminum profiles. Do you also have a contribution to this? Did you do the interior work yourself or who delivered it? Thanks!
Thanks! Interior build with aluminum profiles is self-built. We made it on top of ARB drawer.
Thanks, it looks super professional!
I don’t see the rear bench seats
Is it still there?
We do still have the back seats next to the fridge :)
Congratulations and have fun. Can you please tell me how long the assembly took? keep it up. Makes fun to follow you!
Thanks! Took 4 days but we had more than just the roof to replace :)
La classe 👏👏🤩🤩
😃🙌
Loooookin owsome.
Cheers to bolth of you. 🍷&🍺
Thanks! 🙌😃
Super cool ....eh
🙌😃
pourquoi avez vous choisi PSP plutot que AluCab (ou autre)?
Entre autre car nous voulions un produit sur mesure qui ne reprenait pas l ancien toit.
@@offtrackfamily alucab ne le reprend pas non plus!
Ce n est pas du sur mesure comme PSP
How hight end up the Defender for shipping purposes? / have u giving a name to the rig yet ?
It’s too high for shipping in a regular container but we have a suspension lift. Why give a name ?
@@offtrackfamily I understand as I was thinking so thou, I’m stock on the decision of make it same as yours with a lift kit from ARB or go full airbags in the 4 corners and add a pop top conversion, I’m thinking 🤔 as is way cheaper to ship in/out of Australia by using shipping containers, as Europe and USA have way more port facilities for RORO thanks for the info, I call my defender Miura I think you choose make your kids come out with a name for the rig give more character I reckon keep those videos coming please
Looks great 👍 I
We like it too :)
Pouvez-vous m’indiquer comment le auvent est fixé dans le toit? Ce sont des rivets avec un filet? Merci!
Oui ce sont des rivets à filet
