Restoring a Military Wolf Defender 110 for an Epic Desert Expedition! || Mahker 4x4

🚙 Meet “Stirling” – Our Military Wolf Defender 110 Expedition Build! 🚙

This legendary Wolf Defender 110 has a new name—Stirling—thanks to our Instagram followers! 🏆 Named after David Stirling, the British Army officer who founded the SAS (Special Air Service) during World War II, this Defender is built for toughness, resilience, and adventure.

In this episode, we begin the process of stripping it down to the chassis as we prepare for a full rebuild, transforming this ex-military Land Rover into the ultimate expedition vehicle.

🔧 Other Builds Featured in This Episode:
✅ Project “Move Over” – Gary’s Cadbury purple Defender build, packing a bonkers 730+ bhp Chevy LT4.
✅ Project Cagney – Now being remapped with help from Alive Tuning.
✅ Customer’s Defender 110 – In the workshop after stripping the bolts from its crown wheel.
✅ Dubai Defender – Now running MAER heavy-duty axles, AP Racing brakes, heavy-duty rear arms, and 2.65” Pre-Runner shocks.
✅ Little Hilda – Loads of custom fabrication in the engine bay to work around the extra alternator.
