Thread: Accessory Advice New Defender 110

I have the original tow bar. When it comes to roof racks get a Hannibal. Juddy sells them. I bought a Windcheater but the box section is not as strong. As far as bull bars go it depends on whether you get the LE or standard Defender as to what will fit. If you want real protection get ARB, if you want a winch bar get a tubular bar from Mulgo.

Sold on not getting rims. Re towbar I visited Opposite Lock who were really helpful n told me that I would have to get an ecu with hayman reece setup. Is that standard for all t bar setups?

Re roof racks they were suggesting the rola roof rack 4runner over wind cheerah. Cheaper n mods cheaper n talk about welds difference. Whats thoughts on that

Re window tinting my tinter guy suggests 20% on rear area n 35% on 2 front side windows. Thoughts?

a new ECU? for a tow bar? sounds like they have no clue. on some cars yes/maybe on a defender no. you can order a plug and play cable online that plugs into a 'hidden' plug in the rear drivers side wheel arch and you are done!
(hidden plug is behind a plastic 'flap' up near the tail lights on the inside of the wheel arch)

or you can cut the weird hard to find connector of and fit your own and wire it. it takes about 15 mins if you are savy with cabling probably an hour tops if you have not done it before. no special ecu or anything.

go buy a OEM towbar and fit it yourself, if you get stuck with the wiring I am sure most people on this forum will be willing to help.
