Thread: Kitting up your Defender, or not...

This probably started out from someone reading a thread I posted.

In my defence, every item I have added to my Deefer serves a purpose for me and I thought carefully about what I needed it to do.....just still needing to sort out the bull bar.

I posted my list for 3 reasons:
1. I am proud and love my Defender
2. The list may have helped others
3. I may have learned something from others too

As an example, take the Aux tank. For some trips I will be doing, I need the extra fuel and it is the easiest and safest way to carry it. Recovery points: people have been killed by not having correct recovery points at worst, or damage done to your truck at the least. The checker plate is great for scuffs in and out of the car and a great place to put some tools, a coffee, or a beer! Oooohhh, and I like the look of it too!

My car is a personal statement. To others, it is just transport. But if it was just transport, you would be unlikely to post or be reading this website!

I could go on....but I won't.

So, trust this might clear it up for others who wonder why we accessorise our Deefers. For me, it makes the vehicle better for camping, heading off the black top, and performing as I need.

And pretty hard communicating without a UHF....although maybe Gen now txt instead?

I wasn't having a go. My Defender has a whole heap of useful stuff too. Dual batteries, LR tanks and UHF are basic items for me. That's why i commented I was just suprised to see this one and in 12 years he had added nothing to it!
