Thanks !

Nice.    did you get the resource road frequencies programmed into it? Does Rugged Radio ship into Canada or did you have to get it in the USA? thanks!

Has anyone installed a GMRS/Business band radio in a Defender? I see Rugged Radios sells kits for the X3 but I see nothing for a Defender.    Thanks!

Picked up an EU variant of the Fiamm horn. The 2021 had pre-wired connections between the hood and the dash (see photo), which turned out to be a lifesaver.  IMG_6243.MOV

Alright I’m headed to the UK for business and am going to pick up one of the Fiamm EU air horns and try to install it. Will let you know got it goes. 

Great post. Can you upload a photo of the final location of the horns/compressor? How long are these horns? Fiamm has a number of models it seems. 

I am impressed and surprised you achieved the clearance you did on the front. While I haven’t used the lift kit you specify, I have used HCR high clearance arms (supposed to be good for 3” lift) as well as 32” Fuel tires and S3 springs. Haven’t ratcheted the springs but I’m sitting at 15” of...

Looks pretty amazing 

HCR arms give you the 2” forward offset but also safely give you around another 3” of lift. I see you already went with the Super ATV arms but the HCR arms are the way I’m going. 

This ride looks a lot like what I’m looking to build. What tires did you use? I want 32 but I understand 35 is also an option with HCR

Great looking rig. I’ve seen a number of attachments and racks made by owners here. Maybe on top of hunting, fishing, riding etc, I’ll need to take up welding!

Cool, thanks for the recommendation on Gorilla axels.    Agreed that the angle should be a concern for the CV joints. All I’m told is that it’s not an issue with the design. Hard to have faith in that claim but we shall see. 

If I understand you correctly, your suggesting that the arms themselves are lifted, but this doesn’t result in a lift for the machine.   I’ll look more closely into it, but I think it does both. the A Arms are given an extra 1/2” of clearance, and the machine itself gets 3” of lift. This lift...
