Highlights:

Gwyn Lewis 4x4 Challenge Suspension Lift Kit

Performance Upgraded and Serviced 300Tdi

35” Toyo Open Country M/T Tires on 16” Beadlock Spectre Wheels

This off-road machine was upgraded over the last 30 months by the previous owner for one thing: being a total beast. It has well-thought-out performance modifications and a Gwyn Lewis 4x4 suspension setup that delivers superior performance both on and off-road. Most builds focus only on curb appeal, but this one includes the heavy-duty gear and internal upgrades to actually back it up.

Highlights include a Gwyn Lewis 4x4 Challenge Suspension Lift Kit, a performance-upgraded and serviced 300Tdi, and 35” Toyo Open Country M/T tires mounted on 16” Beadlock Spectre wheels. Shown here is a 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 pushing some extra boost through a gas-flowed high-performance AMC cylinder head (sourced from Turner Engineering), which allows for cooler and more efficient airflow through an uprated performance intercooler. Car Cave installed the head in 2022 and completed a full rebuild of the cooling system. The Defender was factory-built with the 300Tdi engine and sourced from southern France. It runs strong and delivers power throughout the full gear range.

The exterior is finished in factory Red with black wingtop chequer plate and black accents throughout the build. At first glance, the stance is intimidating, with the 16” Beadlock Spectre wheels making it clear this Defender means business. The suspension lift isn’t just for looks—Gwyn Lewis designs their systems for serious articulation, and the Challenge Kit provides up to 5 inches of additional travel. Up front is an ARB bumper perfect for keeping herds of Wallabys from damaging your front end. Safely nestled in the ARB is a Badlands Apex 12,000 lb winch with wireless remote, smooth fairlead, and synthetic rope. Lighting has been upgraded across the board, including Truck-Lite LED headlights, clear LED marker lamps, and 95mm NAS-style LED fog and reverse lights. A custom 4” raised metal snorkel, Rovers North HD rock sliders making no underwater boulder safe! A rear aftermarket tire carrier carries a full size spare with matching bead lock wheel. A rear recovery hook is fitted, but only ever used to pull others up the trail as this Defender has never been pulled out.

Inside the cabin, you’ll find black vinyl front bucket seats and an Exmoor Trim cubby box. The rear cargo area includes four vinyl jump seats, an Exmoor black canvas rear door card with built-in pockets, and a sliding rear door window. A center dash-mounted EGT gauge monitors vitals, and the lower panel houses switches for the onboard ARB air system, front and rear differential lockers, and the winch remote.

Now to the part you don’t see: the hidden upgrades that protect the undercarriage, increase power delivery, and boost reliability. Inside the axles are Ashcroft front and rear lockers with 4.11:1 heavy-duty ring and pinion gears—ideal for maintaining torque with the oversized tires. Ashcroft HD front CVs and half shafts, along with HD rear half shafts and HD hubs, keep the driveline strong. A Gwyn Lewis wide-angle front propshaft was installed to accommodate the increased suspension travel. Suspension is further dialed in with cranked rear radius arms, OME HD springs, and Terrafirma adjustable shocks. Underbody protection includes a front sump guard, diff guard, and steering rod protection.

Car Cave completed an extensive test drive, inspection, and round of maintenance after taking the vehicle back in on trade. Service included a new brake caliper, front brake pads, brake system bleed, wheel bearing repack, and tire balancing. A full filter and oil service was also completed—including engine oil, fuel filter, and air filter. The injection pump timing was tuned for optimal performance. The original round of Car Cave service was performed in 2022, when we first imported this D90 from France and sold it to the previous owner.
