1986 Defender 110, 6.2L LS Powered Restomod
This 7 passenger family hauler was built to take the clan well past the tarmac. The 6.2L L92 LS engine boasts variable valve timing and pumps out over 450HP on our custom tune. A full Safety Devices roll cage, three limited slip differentials, Equipe front bumper and skid plate, Warn winch, and Goodyear Duratracs ensure that the family makes it back. Our client requested a "Forever Defender" and after over 1000 hours of meticulous work, this truck sits alongside their 90 ready for the next adventure.
1993 NAS Defender 110, #246/500: LS3 Powered Restomod
This exhaustive restoration represents our most meticulously built Defender to date with over 1000 hours logged in the process. Our mission was to infuse modern drivability while retaining the nostalgia and off-pavement prowess that established the Defender as an automotive icon. The engine bay packs a potent 430HP 6.2L LS3 crate engine mated to a 6-speed automatic with tap-shift. The body sits atop a galvanized and powder coated chassis replete with powder coated suspension components and zinc-plated hardware. The interior has been updated to include a modern Puma dash, 7 passenger leather seating, and Method SV exclusive center console and door panels.
Project Bronson: 1989 Defender Military Prototype with .50 Cal Rifle
This one-off Defender was originally built by a military contractor to showcase their heavy weapons system but was decommissioned and left dormant in a warehouse. The Method crew have worked hard to return Project Bronson to active duty status. Bronson features a 300tdi turbo diesel with Allisport intercooler and XL radiator, a custom aluminum 55 gallon auxiliary diesel tank, Asfir front skid plate, belly pan, front bumper, long travel suspension with Bilstein remote reservoir 7100 series shocks, and Hutchinson beadlock wheels shod in BFG KM2 tires.
1997 DEFENDER 110 LS CONVERSION AND UPDATES
Originally equipped with an anemic 300tdi and 4-speed auto trans, this 110 had a zero to 60 measured in minutes, not seconds. Such malady was easily remedied by an all-aluminum 5.3 L LS boasting 315HP mated to a 6-speed automatic.
Suspension upgrades and an ARB bumper hiding a Warn winch were fitted to tackle life off-tarmac.
