About DefenderDrivers
Built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts
Meet the Founder
Jens - Founder & Managing Director
Over 10 years ago, I founded DefenderDrivers with a simple vision: to bring together Land Rover Defender enthusiasts from around the world. What began as a personal passion project has grown into the largest international 4x4 community, connecting overlanders across continents.
Together with Hugo, my loyal companion, we've been on countless adventures—from muddy trails in Scotland to desert expeditions in Morocco. Every journey reinforced my belief that the overlanding community needed a place to share knowledge, routes, and experiences without borders.
DefenderDrivers is more than just a brand—it's a movement. We're a community of like-minded adventurers who believe that the best memories are made off the beaten path, and that no one should explore alone.

Our Mission
To unite Defender drivers and overlanding enthusiasts worldwide, providing them with the knowledge, gear, and community support they need to explore the world safely and confidently.
Share Knowledge
Expert GPX routes, vehicle build guides, and real-world overlanding tips from experienced travelers who've been there and done it.
Connect Globally
Bring together Defender drivers from Scotland to South Africa, from Iceland to Indonesia—because great adventures are better shared.
Support Adventures
From quality overlanding gear to 24/7 Road Rescue support, we've got your back when you're far from home.
Build Community
Create lasting friendships through meetups, expeditions, and shared experiences on trails around the world.
What We Believe
Adventure is for Everyone
Whether you drive a pristine Series 1 or a modified Defender 110, whether it's your first camping trip or your tenth border crossing—you belong here.
Share the Trail
We believe in responsible overlanding. Respect nature, respect local communities, and leave every place better than you found it.
Real Experience Matters
No sponsored fluff, no armchair expertise. Everything we recommend comes from real adventures, real challenges, and real solutions.
Community First
Every decision we make puts our community at the center. You're not customers—you're fellow adventurers and friends.
Behind DefenderDrivers
DefenderDrivers is proudly operated by Beat Box GmbH, based in Hamburg, Germany. While our headquarters are in Northern Germany, our heart beats wherever Defender wheels turn—from the Highlands to the Sahara.
Our small but passionate team works tirelessly to curate the best overlanding content, source quality gear, and support our growing global community. But make no mistake: DefenderDrivers isn't built by us alone—it's built by every member who shares a route, answers a question, or welcomes a stranger at a campfire.
