Thread: Addiction: I cant stop modifying my defender

I have the same symptoms. I feel like I have more unfitted parts than fitted sometimes!

In the shed there's an intercooler, wider flares, snorkel, nugget's sealed air intake, the makings of a set of drawers and more. And yesterday I ordered an APT fuel cooler cover!!!!

You're not alone.

I'm only 4 months in to this and I'm already spiralling out of control. I seem to have spent the last 4 months either working on the Defender or planning the next mods and I've barely scratched the surface. There is still so much more to do.

Cheers,
Jon

As the sticker says:

Totally understandable guys. Though I have the opposite problem. I'm a minimalist. I had trouble deciding whether to put a bullbar on. Pragmatism won out. But I like my Defender as stock as possible. Maybe it helps to know, there's nothing it needs IMO. Simple.

Sounds normal. But drive it too.

I'm so glad I saw this post. So it's not just me. I actually feel very comforted by this haha.
I have a shad full of spare parts I have accumulated, accessories fitted or waiting to be fitted. I scoured the various web sites looking for bits and look at other peoples Defenders looking for ldeas. I have been knocked back on insurance as the accessories amounted to more than half of the vehicles value
And I don't know when to stop.
When I die, the next owner will have the best optioned Defender of its age.
I reminded of the tattooed obsession when you get your first and can't stop. It's a disease. Like drugs, or alcohol.
Lord. Give me the courage to stop the unnecessary, to continue the maintenance and the wisdom to know the difference.

If you can find a cure you will end up a rich man around here I think haha ...( I am highly addicted to modding my fender and this is my 3rd )

Well it's pretty clear that I'm actually the wierdy beardy here. You guys are all totally normal.
