Damian Kemm's rig is a 1988 Land Rover Ninety (original Defender) with right-hand drive.

Originally imported from Scotland, Kemm has owned the Land Rover for 5 years. The rig is just shy of 200,000 miles and now affectionately named "Braveheart."

Four year ago, the original diesel engine was replaced with a Cummins R2.8 diesel, and three years ago, the rusted frame was replaced with a new Galvanized chassis. Kemm did the work himself with input from friends and forums, and it is now his daily driver/hunting rig.

Braveheart is very capable off-road, Kemm says, with triple lockers, 35-inch tires and 12+15 gallon fuel tanks.
