These ultra-luxe restomods, from Helderburg Defenders, had no problem roaring through the powder covering the ground during our test drives. 

A Defender 90 reenvisioned by Helderburg.

Helderburg will tune and tweak the original 2.5-liter turbo-diesel engine to deliver a maximum of 220 hp and 440 ft lbs of torque.

The dashboard shape and control locations are unchanged, but there's plenty new, including an Alpine touchscreen display.

The differential engagement is a bit reluctant, as is the shifter attached to the five-speed transmission, giving the driving experience a decidedly traditional feel.

The door handles may look like the same flat-black plastic units that came from the factory, but they're actually made of black anodized aluminum. 

The Alpine touchscreen display is connected to a sublime Focal sound system.

The seats and many of the surfaces are wrapped in upholstery that comes in your choice of hides and hues. It's quite a package, each one built to customer demands.

Since 2019, Helderburg Defenders has been taking a more traditional tack with its top-shelf, fully custom builds.
