Yes.  No experience with them in the mud yet yet but they look like they should help.

BB, On the defender(at least mine) the switches and instrument panel light when the key is turned on.  They are not tied to the headlight switch from what I can tell.  I have 4 factory switches and 4 that i added and all of them the lower half (or upper half is the switch is flipped) lights up...

If it was me I'd make a tee out of 2x2 square metal tubing and plug it into front receiver hitch and then mount the kolpin clamps on it to carry the auger.  Attached is a picture of the kolpin clamps, they are pretty stout.  If you don't have a front reciever you could make something to bolt...

Eric, I'm pretty sure one of the relays came with a harness i didn't use and I think I got the others from local parts store.  You can get them on amazon.  They are Bosch style 4 pin SPST.  The fuse block i did get from amazon.  I wish I had gotten one with 1 battery connection to reduce the...

Derrty, I put a fuse block and relays in the back near the battery(see attached ).  I ran all the power to the roof up the right rear roll cage post.  Just run the positive wires behind the battery and into the engine compartment then up and to the right until you find the hole in the roll cage...

Coachgun, It is not difficult to do yourself.  You need a few parts from can am.  Engine Oil Filter, Oil Filter o Ring, Engine Oil Drainplug Gasket, Gearbox Drainplug Gasket.  Then Front Diff Oil, Engine oil, Gearbox Oil.  Attached is a photo of the three oils I use.  I use the Lucas in the...

I just ordered the sport fender flares.  Hopefully no more mud in my lap.  They have them on Partzilla for $173 with free shipping.

I did my first service at 80 hrs and there was a lot of metal was on the oil filter.  Also a lot of metallic sludge on the gear box drain plug.  Front differential still looked pretty new.  If you have a 1000 miles and haven't changed it before  I would recommend doing it.  From what I saw on...

Here is the schematic, maybe it'll help.  Didn't see a procedure.

Sometimes I have noticed the fan come on when the engine hasn't been running long.  It's set for a pretty narrow window to turn on at 205F and off at 198F.  If it's cold outside maybe it's staying cool enough that it's right near that temperature range that's tripping on and off a lot.  I...

Seems reasonable price to me.  I think I paid $250 for the spare tire and a rim and then spent a little more to have the tire mounted on a rim.  4 new tires and rim all mounted would be over a thousand new.  I've been pretty happy with the bighorns.

Welcome to the Forum.  I just use rainX plastic on the windshield and keep a squeegee for the occasion that the water on the windshield is too much too put up with.  The heater I have is a Golf cart buddy and works good for me with the soft doors in a crew cab but I'm in Texas and probably not...

Sounds like they are just replacing the parts involved with the error in order of cheapest to most expensive to replace.  Given those error codes they likely fixed it.  Only thing sounds like they didn't change was the electrical harness between ECM and the throttle body.  Hopefully they got it.

Harbor freight has a pretty good electronic battery tester for about $60.  I use mine a lot.  Also if you go to battery store such as Napa or batteries Plus they have the electronic tester that can test the battery.  12.38 volts is pretty low, somewhere around 50% of capacity.  Sometimes the...

That's Pretty Country.  Defiantly a nail biter on that hill climb, glad you made it.
