My Defender Limited did the same thing two rides ago.  We were riding in the high desert, where temps were in the 90s.  Several miles from the trailer, as I slowed to a stop at a fork in the road, my Defender just quit.  It would not restart for 15 minutes, then just fired up and ran normal...

Looks like a really nice machine.  Have fun with it.

I have bought machines from this dealership all the way back to 1997, and have never purchased an extended warranty from them.  They don't even ask anymore. Have fun with your Defender when you finally get it home.

I think I got super lucky here in Utah.  Our local dealer didn't have a Defender Limited in stock, so I called another dealer I have bought from for decades, that is 130 miles away.  Their web page said they had one in inventory, but the salesman I always work with checked, and it had sold...

That is one seriously nice looking Defender.  One of the best I've seen.

Here you go.  This will do the trick.  The price is crazy, but I think they would take 25% off. <b>READY 6/8</b> 2021 Perfect For LQ for Side-by-Sides Sleeps up to 6 2021 26' Millennium Silver Includes All The Amenities - Millennium Trailers (milltrailers.com)

Ob One, Do you still like your Defender?  I'm wondering why you are planning on selling something that you just spent a whole lot of money on, and will sell for a substantial loss if you sell it now.  If you are thinking of switching to a Polaris Ranger, ... don't.  I just switched from a one...

I finished the project, and I like the way it turned out.  This little 10" light bar throws down some serious lighting.  I drove around the block to check it out, and when I was almost home I turned off the light bar, and for a second there I thought I didn't even have the regular headlights...

Make sure the foam is water proof and does not absorb water.  I knew a person that used the self expanding foam inside the unibody frame rails of a Jeep Cherokee because he was trying to decrease vibration and harmonic noise.  The foam got wet, never dried out, and rotted his frame.

Less air means less power, so the way around that is to force feed the air into the engine.  Hence, the turbo or supercharger that Andystoy19 mentioned.  No carburetor to replace jets in with these engines.

I have a 2021 Defender Limited with the 1000cc engine in it.  It is a little soon in the year to be seeing how power is affected at 10,000 ft elevation though.  Snow still prevents you from getting above 8,000 feet around here.  By June the 10,000 ft elevation trails will be open.  Based on air...

Thanks for the replies.  I got to looking into the Baja Designs lights in more detail, and as of 2/17/21 they had to change suppliers on their LEDs, because of covid related supply problems.   The new LEDs will change from their usual 5000K to a cooler 4200K.  The new LEDs will give the light a...

My 2021 Defender Limited came with a street legal kit, under seat storage containers, and mirrors, and I paid $6239 out the door after tax and street legal license.  Oh, and I should also mention that it cost me a 2020 Polaris Ranger Northstar as well.

Thanks for the pics.  I actually like the looks of that 10" light bar on the Defender more than I thought I would.  And that last picture sure shows how well it lights up the night.
