Best Pop Top Roof for Land Rover Defender 110? | Full Comparison + Why We Chose Safari-Equip

This week we take a deep dive into our brand new pop top roof on our 1989 Land Rover Defender 110 — explaining exactly how it works, what it’s like to live with, and why we chose it over other options available in the UK. After our first adventure in the Yorkshire Dales, we now break down everything you need to know if you’re considering a pop top conversion for your Defender. We walk through: How the Safari Equip pop top works Full setup and living experience What we love (and what we don’t) Key buying considerations A comparison of the main UK pop top options Before choosing, we researched multiple UK options including Safari Equip, AW4x4, Poppin Rovers, Alu-Cab Icarus, Dormobile, and Drivelodge. We compared cost, lead times, features, and real-world usability for overland travel. For us, the Safari Equip Defender 110 pop top stood out as the best value, especially with full installation, a high-quality finish, and no need to reuse our damaged original roof. If you’re planning a Land Rover Defender build, overland setup, or considering switching from a roof top tent to a pop top, this video will help you make the right decision.
