About Us

GB Defenders Ltd. stands proudly as a British-founded and operated firm, specializing in the meticulous craft of building bespoke, one-of-a-kind Land Rover Defenders from the heart of Vancouver, Canada.

Our passion for the Defender has been a lifelong affair, fuelled not only by its timeless appeal as a traditional and distinctive vehicle but also by its potential as a blank canvas for tailor-made restorations. 

Our unique ethos revolves around preserving the historic essence, character, and charm of these iconic vehicles. 

We embrace the challenge of refining every element of the stock models, employing advanced and innovative technologies, such as 3D printing and in-house design, to create the perfect Defender that seamlessly blends style with capability.

Step 1 - Design
What does your dream Defender look like, feel like? From body styles to seating arrangements, the general concept of your Defender is laid down on paper to set the template. The process begins. Reach out today to start your journey.
Step 2 - Secure Your Defender
Depending on your choice between short-wheelbase (90), long-wheelbase (110) or pick-up configuration (130), we select from our inventory the most suitable vehicle for your requirements.
Step 3 - The Tear-Down Begins
We begin to dismantle your Defender whilst the design process continues in the background, preparing your Defender for its new life.
Step 4 - Let’s Create
From your custom interior to your particular shade of paint colour, meticulous creation begins. Watch in detail how your Defender comes to life, bolt by bolt.
Step 5 - Power
How much power do you want, and how do you intend to deploy it? Our comprehensive selection of engine specifications and gearbox choices enable us to construct the perfect Defender for your exact uses.
Step 6 - Accessorize
From roll-cages and wheels to grille choices and sound systems – there’s no limit to your say on how your Defender is assembled.
Step 7 - Testing
Your Defender doesn’t just have to feel, look and sound incredible, it has to stay this way. Every element of your Defender is meticulously tested at every step of the assembly process, ensuring another lifetime of adventure.
Step 8 - Delivery and Support
Spend time with us learning every aspect of your Defender’s character, or run away to the hills and learn for yourself. Count on our continued support and guidance while you guide your Defender into its new life.
