The attention to detail continues with a Dakota digital dashboard and black anodized gear knobs and door furniture. Matching leather gear gaiters and door cards seamlessly blend with the black carpet floor coverings. The headlining is a combination of Manilla leather and suede, adding an extra layer of refinement. Entertainment is handled by a Kenwood® touch screen display paired with Focal® speakers and a subwoofer, delivering an immersive audio experience.

The exterior of the FU Dog Defender is equally impressive. The body is finished in a striking Willow Green with a Satin Black roof, creating a harmonious contrast. The metallic paint finish enhances the vehicle’s rugged yet sophisticated aesthetic. Body-coloured wheel arches and an OEM Puma bonnet complete the sleek look, while Evo Corse® DakarZero 18″ wheels and BFGoodrich® All Terrain T/A KO2 tyres ensure unparalleled performance on any terrain.

Functionality is not sacrificed for style. The suspension is upgraded with SVO performance components, and the brakes feature Wilwood® (6-piston front and 4-piston rear) for exceptional stopping power. The Air-con grille, standard bumper with end caps and DRLs, and Raptor Black steering guard add both form and function. Wipac 7″ Halo LED headlights and clear side lights ensure visibility, while billet alloy wing-top air intakes and colour-coded mirrors add a touch of elegance.

Under the hood, the FU Dog Defender boasts a brand-new engine and transmission, ensuring reliable and robust performance. The chassis is etched, primed, and raptor-coated for durability. The fuel system, electrics, and suspension have all been replaced with new components, ensuring the Defender runs as smoothly as it looks.

Inside, the comfort is enhanced with carpeted floor coverings featuring noise, vibration, and heat insulation. Ice White LED interior lighting illuminates the cabin, while rubber floor mats protect against dirt and wear. Air conditioning has been fitted new, ensuring a comfortable ride in any climate.

Arkonik’s full, frame-off restoration includes a new bulkhead, a brand-new wiring loom and switchgear, and replaced brake lines, front discs, and rear drums.
