Words cannot describe how much i love this machine
Landrovers are the way to go, devastated that they are ending the production of the defender in a couple of years tho :worried:

Your tellin me they still make them? Ffs I've been sneaking around taking pics of mint ones in Northampton thinking they loved them here...

Vibester - They don't have any builds planned on the current Defender platform past 2015MY! I'm not going to miss them as I'm too wide to fit in one! I remember driving a prototype military version back in 2009 - feet too wide for the pedals and half-hanging out the window! That was a million pound experience I didn't relish.........

Back on thread, this one looks insane - love it!

This is very well kitted out, very smart.

But I must admit, I think the steering wheel looks very cheap in comparison with the other mods.

Few more slight changes:

New momo Nero Wheel:

Removed the rear swing arm carrier, the hi lift jack is a constant rattle and the wheel now sits more central which i prefer:

Gave the winch a service and some fresh paint, plus have the front grille powder coated, also a new steering guard in Carbon:

Best bit is the new roof rack lights, should get them on monday but decided to go with 2 JW speaker TS300v in balck, driving beam pattern to add to main beam, and then a 20" Rigid industries light bar between them:

Tuning wise, still waiting on the exhaust from Alive, although getting a little annoyed with the delay now..:mad:

I really like this defender.. it looks so purposeful, but i cant help but think that the seats, headunit and steering wheel look completely out of place in a Jeep of this type!

Cannot wait to see how the jw lights and led lightbar work

The defender I had last week with the 4 roof spots was amazingly bright at night.

100w Rally Sport bulbs work a treat, depending on the housing you have them in, if you are looking bright lights (y)
