    2006 Land Rover Freelander - Camper Build

    I think it's just because you never see anyone taking Freelanders off-road. The Freelander doesn't have selectable four wheel-drive. It has a VCU which essentially means it's constantly running in four wheel-drive, but on the highway the front wheels do most of the work and the rear wheels more...

    2006 Land Rover Freelander - Camper Build

    That's an awesome looking rig! I never see them over here. That's a huge inspiration, I love that scenery! That's exactly the kind of environment I like photographing. LR Defender and Disco owners always look shocked when a Freelander can keep up with them! They consider it an on road 4x4, but...

    2006 Land Rover Freelander - Camper Build

    Thank you! One day I'll get a Defender, it's been my dream vehicle since I was a child. But I'm happy with how this build is turning out. Over here in the UK you see a lot of Freelanders, but they never get taken off-road! It's a surprisingly good vehicle for using off-road, it's narrow and...

    2006 Land Rover Freelander - Camper Build

    Today I tested the full camping setup. The bed is perfect for me, I'm 6ft tall and I can lie down flat. I made my own window covers from silver bubble foil insulation. This gives me great privacy and also gives added insulation. I've got two legs which hold up the end of the bed...

    Hey. It's still early stages for the Freelander, but it's getting better! I'm always looking for opportunities to get out and do some photography, this lockdown has kept me locked up for too long. I've been interested in getting into off-road photography for a while now. If you hear about any...

    2006 Land Rover Freelander - Camper Build

    I've been driving around a stock 06 Land Rover Freelander 1 for a few years now. I'm a photography student studying in Cumbria, UK. I specialise in outdoor photography so I need a vehicle that's suitable for accessing hard to reach locations. It's been great for carrying kayaks, climbing...

    Can't beat a Ford Ranger! My parents have a 2015 Wildtrak. It's great for overnight trips!

    Hey, I live in North Wales and study photography in Carlisle. I've got a Land Rover Freelander 1 which I've built into a camper for overnight photography, mountain bike, and climbing trips. Hopefully I can get on some overland trips soon! Are there any other UK members? Any other Freelander...
