The Expedition Series gives you the choice of manual or automatic transmissions, tailored for any adventure:

6-speed manual options deliver complete control and engagement, ideal for technical off-road driving or anyone who prefers a more connected, hands-on experience.Every gearbox is paired with the
LT230 transfer case, ensuring reliable power delivery, flexibility, and confidence wherever your expedition takes you.
The LT230 transfer case is at the core of the Expedition Series’ go-anywhere capability. Renowned for its strength and versatility, it seamlessly distributes power between front and rear axles, giving the vehicle the confidence to take on everything from highways to the harshest off-road terrain.For the Expedition Series, we offer it in 1.21 or 1.41 ratios, allowing the drivetrain to be precisely tuned—whether the focus is long-distance cruising or tackling demanding trails.Engineered for durability, smooth operation, and reliability, the LT230 ensures unwavering power delivery and control in every condition. It’s the backbone of the Expedition Series drivetrain, reinforcing the build’s adventurous spirit while maintaining stability and composure, no matter where the journey leads.
The Expedition Series features an upgraded Rover-based front axle built to thrive under the toughest conditions. Heavy-duty chromoly CV joints, oversized 24-spline axles, and reinforced flanges provide uncompromising strength and precision where it matters most. A pegged differential housing adds rigidity, while your choice of limited-slip or full locking differential allows the setup to be tailored for ultimate traction and control—whether carving through winding roads or powering over technical trails.
At the rear, a high-strength Ford 9-inch differential delivers relentless durability and smooth, controlled performance even in the harshest environments. Custom 32-spline axles and heavy-duty flanges ensure the drivetrain can handle extreme punishment without compromise. Available with limited-slip or full locking options, this setup keeps the rear end planted, responsive, and confident—offering the perfect balance of capability and composure for any expedition.
Built for endurance and versatility, the Expedition Series suspension is engineered to deliver confidence and control no matter the terrain.
At its core are custom-valved remote reservoir shocks, tuned for the demands of long-distance overlanding and heavy-duty use. These shocks provide consistent damping and heat management, ensuring smooth, controlled handling across everything from endless highways to washboard tracks and rocky trails.
Paired with bespoke coil springs designed for the perfect balance of load-carrying capacity and ride comfort, the system absorbs rough terrain without sacrificing stability or driver confidence. Upgraded sway bars further enhance control, reducing body roll while keeping the vehicle composed under demanding conditions.The result is a suspension package that keeps the classic Range Rover’s comfortable ride at its heart, while transforming it into a machine capable of tackling remote expeditions with the same assurance it shows on the road—rugged, stable, and built for the journey ahead.
The Expedition Series is equipped with the AP Racing 18" Big Brake Kit, delivering powerful, consistent stopping performance when it matters most. Oversized callipers, vented discs, and braided lines ensure fade-free braking and precise feedback, whether you’re descending steep mountain tracks, navigating heavy loads, or making sudden stops on unpredictable terrain.
Engineered for control, stability, and reliability, this braking system gives you the confidence to explore further and push harder, knowing your vehicle will respond instantly and predictably every time. More than just an upgrade, it’s a critical link between driver and machine—purpose-built to match the demands of true expedition travel.
To match the demands of expedition travel, the Expedition Series has been completely rewired from front to back. This modern electrical system is simplified, durable, and easy to service, with every circuit designed for clarity, efficiency, and long-term reliability.From ignition and lighting to modern accessories, everything works exactly as it should—dependable, intuitive, and built to withstand the rigors of remote travel.
With no unnecessary complexity and no compromises, the Expedition Series electrical system ensures peace of mind, wherever the journey leads.
The Expedition Series retains the classic Lucas-style housings and original bezels for authenticity, while upgrading all lighting internally to LED for superior brightness, reliability, and energy efficiency. Dimmable dash lighting and hidden relays keep the cabin clean and functional, while optional headlight upgrades and enhanced rear lighting provide maximum visibility in remote and demanding environments—blending classic style with modern expedition-ready performance.
Inside, the Expedition Series balances heritage craftsmanship with expedition durability. Cabins can be restored to original specification or tailored to individual preference, with options ranging from genuine Connolly leather and premium hides to period-correct materials like Teddy Bear cloth or velour. Dash pads are restored or re-trimmed, headliners replaced, and door cards rebuilt with new boards and foams. Original switchgear is retained and refurbished where possible, maintaining authenticity while ensuring dependable function for years of adventure.
The Expedition Series features a redesigned, integrated air-conditioning and heating system, engineered for precise climate control in every environment—from desert heat to alpine cold. Compact and efficient, the system frees up cabin space, improves reliability, and reduces weight, ensuring comfort on even the longest journeys.
Each shell is stripped and repaired using traditional metalwork techniques — including panel beating, lead wiping, and rust remediation. Bodywork is prepared with minimal filler and painted in either original Land Rover colours or custom finishes. Seam sealer is reapplied throughout. The underside is finished in rust protection and stone guard, colour-matched where appropriate.
For durability and safety, all glass is polished or replaced with OEM or laminated Triplex safety glass. Every seal, channel, and rubber is renewed, including windscreen, alpine windows, and tailgate apertures. The result is a cabin that’s quieter, drier, and protected against the elements—built for the realities of expedition travel.
The Expedition Series begins with the original chassis, steam-cleaned, media-blasted, inspected, and strengthened where needed. Comprehensive rust protection includes internal wax injection and external coatings in POR15 or equivalent, with optional body-colour finishes. Suspension mounts are reinforced, and galvanised chassis options are available for maximum long-term durability—ensuring the foundation of the vehicle is as rugged as the journeys it’s built to conquer.
