The Icarus roof conversion is the complete package and is completely reversible! You can migrate the roof conversion to another Defender, or simply restore your vehicle to its original state. The roof conversion does away with having to climb up a ladder to your tent and frees up packing space when you are able to put a full roof rack on the Icarus itself. The roof is rated for 50 kg, and it is important to note where the cargo is loaded as it will make it easier or harder to open the tent. The roof takes seconds to open, and thanks to the flip up bed, you have standing room inside your vehicle! Lastly the roof can be closed with all your bedding inside, so long as it is flat.
Overlanding has never been so easy, so convenient, and so unbelievably capable. It is the ultimate overland solution for two ultimate overland vehicles.

While our Icarus conversion kits are designed solely for Land Rover Defender owners, our more recent Hercules conversion is designed strictly to suit the Land Cruiser Troopy models.
No matter which of these iconic vehicles you own, the conversion is available in kit form and can be shipped to any corner of the globe. The job takes about 1-2 days to complete, and once done, you’ll then have access (via an internal roof opening) to your tent, your clothes, your cupboards and your kitchen – all in one supremely capable and compact package.
It’s also worth noting that the Icarus conversion is 100% reversible, so should you wish to migrate the kit to another Defender, or simply restore your vehicle to its original state, you have that option, too.
The roof conversion does away with having to climb up and down ladders, and also frees up packing space where you now have the option of mounting a full-size roof-rack. Bear in mind, however, that packing heavy items on top of your vehicle’s roof will affect how easy it is to open, so some experimenting will be needed to determine what works for you.
Otherwise, the roof takes seconds to unlatch and open, and thanks to the flip-up bed and mattress, you not only have access to your clothing and cupboards, you also get to stand upright while changing. Lastly, the roof can be closed with all your bedding inside, which means you never have to deal with stuffing away a sleeping bag, and you don’t have to find packing space for your duvet and pillows. Provided your bedding is relatively neat and flat, it’s all stored up top and is just a latch-and-flip away.
