Valencia | 1996 Land Rover Defender 130 V8 Double Cab Pickup

Jason’s take on this 1996 Land Rover Defender 130.

This one’s a full restoration done by people who clearly knew what they were doing — nothing on this truck was left untouched. Racer Orange paint, a fuel-injected 3.9-liter V8 up front, and the LT77 five-speed manual behind it. Double cab 130 with a proper flatbed, sitting on Khan wheels wrapped in 34-inch rubber over a two-inch lift. Disc brakes all around, traction bars, and fresh suspension and steering from end to end.

The details are what separate this one. A six-speaker Focal subwoofer system running through a top-of-the-line Alpine ten-inch head unit, a pair of gorgeous bucket seats, and a full LED lighting upgrade. And here’s the part that’s genuinely rare — it’s only covered 2,500 miles since it was made new. The break-in period is done. This is essentially a brand-new truck that happens to be thirty years old.

It rides the way a properly sorted 130 should — planted, quiet, no rattles. If you’ve been waiting for a 130 that doesn’t need a single thing, this is the one.
