Hmm good point, what's the normal adblue tank size? Looks like 30L or soQuote:

Who knows though...your assessment is equally as valid[thumbsupbig]
D5 is 18 Litres. You would hope that this would be more than that. They say that DEF is consumed at about 2-6% of fuel consumption.Quote:

The “Defender” ran an engine of NO MORE than 2.5L capacity
Either 4 or 5 cylinder for tax reasons as it WAS a commercial vehicle.
Sure more than a quarter of a century ago they ran bigger engines than 2.5L but my point was up until Defender stopped production they were made as a commercial vehicle and met commercial vehicle tax rules which was small volume Diesel engine
This thing is not a defender and so can have whatever motivation suits the purple suit guy!!!
Now to under body shots
I’m a little Meh
Without solid axles all that is in the line of Fire

Watch this vid, might help you to understand the sacrificial ribs.
I was surprised when I learnt it too, if that makes you feel any better.

Without solid axles all that is in the line of Fire and needs bash plates and protection?

This is almost certainly a “tell ‘im e’s dreamin!” moment, but is there any chance that the front recovery point could be replaced with a factory winch? I’m finding it hard to get a proper sense of scale but that recovery loop looks enormous.
I reckon this vehicle was the PHEV, with the small exhaust on the rear left side and the small fuel tank on the rear right side and the batteries in the flat sections under the middle. We saw this rear muffler/fuel arrangement on PHEV mules in the Moab pics. The other vehicle had a muffler that went all the way across the rear and had an exhaust outlet on each side.
In an ICE variant the fuel would be in the centre instead of batteries. Nice low centre of gravity but hard to estimate capacity – and heck they might not need that centre resonator or whatever it is in the exhaust system, creating even more space for fuel.
