The team at Arksen has created something far beyond a simple restoration. With the Project Sahara, they reinterpreted the legendary Land Rover Defender and transformed it into the ultimate exploration machine, ready to take on the most extreme conditions.

The core idea: starting from scratch, stripping the chassis and applying hot-dip galvanizing for complete protection against the elements – ensuring a lifespan that surpasses many original builds.

The engine: the legendary 300 Tdi 2.5L Turbo Diesel, fully rebuilt with new brake discs, upgraded cooling and fuel systems, transmission adapter, and a stainless-steel exhaust.

The look & functionality: upgraded suspension with a 2″ lift, 16″ black off-road wheels, Sand & Black leather interior, and an equipment package that includes a roof tent, foldable awning, onboard shower, full kitchen setup, and professional recovery and towing gear.

The result is a vehicle that isn’t just restored but redefined: tougher, more capable, and fully prepared for adventures far beyond civilization. Only for the true explorer who refuses to compromise.
