A serious monster G with its 45 centimetre ground clearance, but which still drives like a luxury car with highquality leather interior. It is very quiet inside due to the fact that the access opening to the camper is well isolated from the driver’s cabin by a door – it isn’t an open vehicle. It is really a very pleasant battleship to drive. And of course you ride quite a few centimetres higher than you normally do.

This is due to the 45 centimetre ground clearance... Thanks to the portal axles. The conversion to portal axels alone will set you back around 70,000 euros... Well, never mind. Both companies LETech and Orangework wanted to show what’s possible if everyone contributed their best skills to this project. The outcome is a true offroad jewel. One that leaves every spectator in awe along the road – and not just offroad fans either. Should it – despite the massive tires – get too bumpy, the driver can simply press a button to lower the tyre pressure. Getting out of the van was so yesterday. You’ll probably hardly ever have to get out of the Lennson 3C to dig yourself out and this is not only due to the powerful threelitre diesel engine.

Why does this G wagon still need a winch? With this extremely modified chassis –18inch beadlock rims, the pressure regulation system, and portal axels. The wheelbase was lengthened by 60 centimetres to accommodate the camper box on top. You can also order the camper in carbon fibre. This makes it possible to have a lot of fun offroad.

LE not only found interesting solutions for the modified chassis, the camper box is also built in a different way. It is laminated in one piece like a boat rather than built of single sheets. That’s where you get these grooves around the outer shell. On the one hand, they help to make the box more ridged but are also neat design features. It’s available as GRP (glassfibre reinforced plastic) or carbon fibre. This would save even more weight. As the vehicle is here it is close to 3.6 tons.
