2004 Land Rover Defender XS 90 TD5

Highlights

  • Comprehensively equipped for overlanding with Yakima road shower and hot water system
  • Upgraded with twin battery setup and split charge system
  • Enhanced off-road capability with heavy-duty coil springs and poly-bushed suspension
  • Fitted with overdrive for improved highway driving
  • Solid chassis treated with WaxOyl and Lanoguard for longevity

The Appeal

The Land Rover Defender TD5 was one of the most capable and sought-after iterations of this iconic 4x4, combining the legendary off-road prowess with improved on-road manners and reliability. The TD5 engine offered a significant step up in refinement and power delivery compared to earlier Defender powerplants, while the XS trim level added welcome comfort features to the utilitarian package.

This 2004 90 has been thoughtfully modified for overlanding adventures, with practical upgrades focused on capability, utility and self-sufficiency rather than just aesthetics. With its solid chassis and comprehensive modifications, this Defender offers a strong platform for serious off-road exploration or even daily driving.
