New Member - Defender Max 2019

[Stevez]

New here and purchased a Can-am in late 2019.  We're building a new house at the lake and needed transportation.  So far I love it but I need some additions.  I definitely need some side mirrors and a front windshield.  I learned from reading some posts here that if you have the front windshield, you should really have a rear as well due to the dust that will funnel in. So, I'll be adding some items this fall.  Thanks all!  Looking forward to learning more.  Steve

Welcome to the forum Stevez!  The front windshield is really nice to have.  I also think just having the rear view mirror does it good job and you might not even need the side ones.

Agree with rear view, but I do like having the side mirrors as well. Especially for plowing, being able to see how close I am to things on the sides it an advantage. (In a full cab model, so just looking out the side is not as easy)

Welcome to the forum!! I have all three of the OEM mirrors... As for the side mirrors??? Pretty small really, tough to see anything out of them at speeds... as for low speeds.... they work okay... As per the rearview.... it is like a boat mirror, (bubble style) and throws things out of proportion. But they do meet any mirror requirements for onroad use... 

Glad to have you here,

Another mod I'd recommend is S3 Springs front and back. Tighter coiled, helps reduce spring sag (giving a pseudo lift of about 1-1/2") and better support for heavy loads, as well as better handling (less body roll in turns) without sacrificing comfort.

Welcome Stevez!  Nice looking Defender!

if you buy a front windshield, get a vented one or a flip one dont get the solid one it creates a duststorm inside the cab AMHIK and so far a back window and fender flares have not corrected it
