I've seen a few Defenders with lifts and wheels like those Jeeps (but not quite as extreme).We recently had a 90 on 35" B F Goodrich MTR and a 6" suspension lift at an offroading weekend and as soon as he took the suspension beyond a certain point the springs used to pop out of their location points and he had to jack the car up and relocate them manually. On offroad days these are often also the cars that break suspension and transmission components.It takes a lot of the fun out of offroading when you can just "walk" over everything that gets in the way. Doing it to a Defender increases the turning circle from an already huge one into a multipoint turn excerise for any bend that is remotely near tight 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Pussy, we don't have anywhere like that for offroading, I would say that is quite tame compared to where we go, which is properly offroad in the forests and moors of the Scottish West Coast - the only thing about our offroading are the MIDGES and they are deadly at this time of year and they can find everywhere on a Defender where there is a gap that will let water in and find their way in too and bite you!!! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I have posted a lot of them on the forum already Pussy - there were some videos in a post about New Defenders recently, but I have loads of them on disk. I don't have many of the truely extreme places as I'm usually a bit busy trying to concentrate on the driving rather than taking pics! The problem with the midges is that they are not HUGE, but tiny and you don't see them, you only know they are there after they have bitten! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
