New Defender Accessories

LAND ROVER ACCESSORIES - Land Rover Defender - INTERIOR - INTERIOR PROTECTION - Loadspace Partition - Full Height, 110

Thoughts on this, does the lower half fold down with seats?

Trying to decide between net and solid barrier option, both rated to same standard.
Would like to have no cargo barrier when I'm not on trips. Or ability to sleep in back for other short trips.

I would say the centre hatch opens only.

You should track down the description for the standard. i did when you first posted that a couple of weeks ago. It explains exactly what it means and how they must test. from memory it must be able to stop a 10kg weight at head from pushing forward no more than 20cm past the centre line of the seat occupant in the in front and likewise for 20Kgs on the floor. I think the metal barrier would minimise the protrusion to a greater extent. The soft barrier would be easier to install and remove.

Have a look, t might help you make up your mind.

Mystery of the ladder/luggage storage mounting solved.

Jon Roberts on Instagram: “If you go down to Wendover woods today your in for a NICE supprise 😉. Here's a few detailed shots in some nice light of the pannier, ladder…”

Have confirmed with dealer that the ladder can be on either side and the storage box can be removed.

Thus allowing explorer pack + gullwing awning on passenger side, ladder on drivers (au) for rooftop tent access.

I prefer the fabric style ones. We have one on our Q5 that attaches into sockets in the roof and then is tethered to the tie down points in the boot. It is very tough - sort of like seat belt type mesh material and very easy to quickly remove. The best part about it is that when you put the 2nd row seats down, it can be moved to similar sockets and tie downs just behind the front seats so you have all the load space and you still have the safety of the load barrier.

Not sure is the Defender will have a similar system...

Great see some close ups, cheers. All looks very solid. I like the ladder, great to hear it can go either side. The pannier not so much, seems a bit naff to me.

Finally got confirmation of the AU only Bullbar.

No winch cradle needed, winch, cooling pedestrian, camera & airbag compatible.

I know its not going to be everyones cup of tea, but for me and the driving i do, its spot on until something better comes along.

I run a tube bar on my RRC and wanted to modify it to match how this goes around the lights and protrudes around the side.

Looks like 50mm tubing at least for the main frame, braced where needed.
Zooming in it looks pretty strong, but no cow stopper.
I run similar size tubing on my rear bar and front tube bar and you can lean the weight of the vehicle on them without bending

I will be ordering it as part of my build. apparently dealer fit orover over the counter.

but no cow stopper.

Anything bigger than a rabbit will destroy that feeble attempt, Don't waste your money on that garbage.
With any luck ARB will produce a bar that is worthwhile fitting eventually.
