I've seen it and it really impresive. Specially the interior. (It even has part of the HDJ80 dashboard).

Who makes the remote tire inflaters (I assume that's what they are) that he's running in this picture?

Is Portuguese, and that's a good way to make a LR become a great vehicle!

 

[Cañonero]

Yes, it's a remote inflator made by VIGIA, that is used 99% of the cases, in big lorries.

Now, the Indians and the Japanese should get together to prodcue this truck!

It's a 1HD-T engine with a front mounted intercooler .. nice upgrade to the LR but still a narrow cabin .. ( Like the outside looks .. but nothing else .. )

They use the manual H151 factory tranny and t-case .. but keep the LR control arms .. locked axles and was a full time 80 series ..

Use a few Rancho shocks and Ohlins shocks too ..
