Overview

Professionally crafted by renowned Land Rover specialist Arkonik, this striking 1990 Land Rover Defender pickup, nicknamed “Alpha,” represents a highly customized interpretation of the iconic British off-roader. Finished in imposing Java Black and configured as a rare two-door single-cab pickup, the build was completed to an exceptional standard and has traveled only approximately 6,500 miles since completion. Power comes from an upgraded 4.6-liter V-8 engine equipped with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel-injection system and paired with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, delivering significantly enhanced performance while retaining the engaging character that has made the Defender a legend both on and off the road.

 

Built with expedition capability and rugged aesthetics in mind, Alpha features an extensive list of premium upgrades. The exterior is equipped with 33-inch BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires mounted on black steel modular wheels with beadlocks, a Raptor-coated custom cage and roof rack, four Lightforce 6-inch LED spotlights, a Defender A-frame nudge bar, and a WARN 12,000-pound Superwinch. Additional highlights include Wideboy wheel arches, raised hood and tailgate badging, and Fire & Ice side steps, all combining to create a purposeful stance that is equally suited to overlanding adventures or commanding attention at any gathering of enthusiasts.

 

The cabin blends utility with luxury, offering black leather modular seating, a deluxe sound system, black suede headliner, Elite lock box, and a premium leather-stitched gear gaiter tailored to match the seating trim. Brushed aluminum alloy gear knobs complete the bespoke interior presentation. Combining Arkonik’s renowned craftsmanship with desirable V-8 power, extensive off-road equipment, and exceptionally low mileage since completion, this distinctive Defender pickup presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a highly personalized example of one of the most celebrated four-wheel-drive vehicles ever produced.
