Representing the Florida company’s latest custom builds, the East Coast Defender “Project Ironhorse” and “Project Punisher” are both made to highlight off-road capabilities with luxury performance. The former hews as close to the original specifications as possible, which meant maintaining the old-school body style with a 4.6L Land Rover V8, an engine that traces its roots back to the original Defenders. Inside, a classic ROW dashboard is countered with modern conveniences, including a touchscreen infotainment system, wireless charging and heated leather seats. Its Project Punisher counterpart retains the Defender heritage but adds a number of custom features, like a GM LC9 V8 engine and Puma dashboard. The vehicle rides on 18-inch black Sawtooth wheels clad in BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA K02 tires, which combine with a full external roll cage and LED spot lamps to create an aggressive road presence.
