    Hello , I was wondering what feed back you have on XMr.  I am in process of buying one.   Like the ideas of it, how is yours holding up

    Hi 

    Its holding up well.  I had a few growing pains.  One ended up being a lose battery connection to the primary battery and the second issue was a connector going to one of the LED lights on top of the roof.  For some reason it had disconnected...don't have a clue how it happened but two of the LED lights stopped working but the switch was still powered.  Any way, once I traced the problem back to the connector it was an easy fix.  

    As you said...you like the idea of a defender...thats the same reason why I purchased it.  To me its a play toy and a working rig.  Its the best of both worlds!  The HD10 engine will push the rig to 65 mph and to me thats plenty fast in a woods.  And the smart lock...wow.  I have locked both front and back diffs and this thing just digs hard in low gear.

    I am sure you have read the spec sheet so I will not go over the list of great features that come on the Xmr version but I will say this....15 inches of ground clearance on 30 inch tires!!!...just spells loads of fun in the mud...lol.

    I am in the process in created a YouTube channel in the next week or so and I will send you some links to a few videos.  I have been driving it all winter up until the 50 plus cm snow dump we got a few days ago.  Now I need to look at tracks.  Anyway if you have any specific question about the Defender Xmr just fire them off to me.  I will try to check this account more often.

    Thanks , how many miles have you got on bike now.  I hear a few guys complaining about ride.  I was going to swap tires out to something maybe a bit less aggressive and lighter.  Not sure how axles and cv joints hold up , from what I see the XMr has a heavier axle which I like.  

      Not much info online

    I have 650 km on it so far.  But at this point winter has given us more than our fair share of snow and I will have to put tracks on it from here on in or park it until spring.  I am leaning heavily on the track purchase...lol.  As far as the tires are concerned, I reduced the air pressure down to 10 lbs on all 4 corners.  If I am going to load up the box or do some serious work then I will add more at that time.  The aggressive tire is one of the reasons in buying it.  I really like hitting some mud and water holes and it just chews its way along.  I have opened the doors to let water out on many occasion...and with the tires you get 15 inches of ground cleaners.  I have drove over some big looking rocks and stumps that I was sure was going to hit the skid plate....and it rolled right over them.  I just can not say enough good things about the tires and ground clearance and the smart lock...wow.  4 wheel drive and both front and back difts locked in!!!....just wow!!!  This rig just fits me so well.  Lots of sporty fun and work capable....it just does it all.
