New to forum thought I'd post my defender progress. Its dirty, it gets used often.
Purchased new with the Can-Am 0% offer they were running earlier this year. It is the base model so no DPS or extra add-ons. I did get them to through in the roof as part of the deal and worked out a discounted extended warranty. Below is a list of mods that I've done so far. I rode it for a while mostly stock, but down here in Florida deep water is a big concern.

- RAM powered dash mount for Garmin GPS (All ready had the mount from another project) Extra nice riding a night with GPS!
- Auxiliary pod LED lights tucked into recessed roof pockets - wired to auxiliary light switch
- 2" Bracket Lift
- Highlifter Snorkel Kit - This kit is actually for the earlier model years so it took some creativity to make them fit but they are water tight and work well. I also love how they are hidden behind the rear passenger headrests. The factory XMR snorkel kit is so expensive and it obstructs the rear view when backing up.
- Can Am Maverick take off wheels and tires 30x10.5-4 on all four corners - Love the 30" tires! Will probably replace tires with 30x9-14 once these bighorns wear out!
- Can-Am bumper - modified for winch mount
- 4500lb winch w/ wired and wireless controllers.
- Ordered - 1" wheel spacers for rear to bring the reduced offset wheels back to stock offset.
