Hello Kevin, thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I have been having fun with this car! Thank you so much for watching. Have a fantastic night! 🌠🤗

LOL, Thanks for the compliment. I certainly try to keep my garage as clean and decluttered as I can. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.

Hello Lars, I would not say I am not afraid, I would say that after doing enough research I get to a point were I feel confident enough to give something a try plus it did not seem like I was really going to break anything. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.

I am assuming you mean defender 110. I used the sidestep installation measurements to locate the cut outs for the Defender 90 and you can do the same for the 110.

@@Adventure-Mom Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for

Glad I could help

Bill happy to hear from you again! You know me well as I did a lot of research and test drove many off-road SUV's. Amongst the SUV I tested were the Jeep Wrangler 392, Branco Raptor, Mercedes G63, the V8 powered defender, and even a couple more less "off-road" capable. In the end the Jeep Wrangler V8 had too much play in the steering for normal road use so that was removed immediately and the Mercedes G wagon was just too expensive for what you got (even on the used market). I really liked the Bronco Raptor but it is so big/wide and there are so many sitting on the Ford lots that I felt I would regret the purchase later. Even though, I did make an offer on the Raptor but the dealership was not as flexible as I wanted and I do not have a great impression about Ford long term quality/reliability. The Defender was something I just happened upon and figured I would try .... I was really impressed. The interior quality and everyday drivability is on par with Mercedes. The power of the P400 was impressive and the of-road capability is great. All of this and it is an SUV that is quiet and smooth on the highway and can tow over 8000lbs. I did test drive the V8 version and again put an offer on one but in the end found that the power difference did not seem to justify the hefty price increase. I know this was a long summary but I do hope it helps explain my purchase process. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel. BTW, I got the P400 X-Dynamic for less than all of the other SUV's I tested and Land Rover Tampa was super helpful and flexible. This really told me I was making the right decision.

@@Adventure-Mom Thanks for your informative reply! BTW, I had forgotten to add "Toyota 4-Runner" to my mention of possible choices you may have looked at earlier, and you didn't name that particular SUV so I guess you didn't include the 4-Runner in your research? Whatever, yes, all those brands/models you named are big-money (!) and you have to decide what the best cost/value ratio is vs. just buying something expensive but not really suiting your actual needs -- even though it's certainly true that ALL these SUVs & trucks are really inflated price-wise nowadays (and then Stealership ADMs on top)! For example, while I have no issues re: the "normal" Jeep Wranglers/Ford Broncos (all trim levels) -- they're both Top Dog off-road & highway/city vehicles -- and yet are still suitable for Daily Drivers (my Jeep is, even if its City-MPG numbers are low). However, re: the WAY more expensive Jeep Wrangler 392 and Ford Bronco Raptor in particular are (IMO) what I call Vanity Vehicles ("Hey, look at me!"), as all that power/torque doesn't do anything (for me) off-road or even on-road. You don't NEED a lot of HP & torque off-road: How much did WWII Jeeps have? Not much, and they did fine/went anywhere (almost!) anyway. And how much HP/torque do you really need ON road? Not THAT much either. So to me those "Eye Candy" SUVs are just very expensive gas-guzzlers and can't tow much -- only 3500lbs, not even close to what I needed (almost useless). No PRACTICAL real-life use (and I'm more of a practical guy, and not into vanity much, either). But back then (April 2021) when I was looking for my MID-size "Top Dog/off-road-focused/serious 4x4" off-road vehicle, those "Super SUVs" weren't even out yet , even the "standard" Ford Broncos weren't out yet: They were just vaporware/Ford advertising hype for ~2 years! So while others pre-ordering those vehicles awaited delivery (many of them NOT so patiently) of their Bronco, or waiting for the Jeep 392 to come out later, I already HAD my Jeep...and at a decent price and before the price-increasing/price-gouging insanity happened. ;-) However, I have to say that my FIRST choice (back then) was a 2021 Chevy Colorado ZR2 (and in Sand Dune Metallic color, of course!) mainly due to it's better handling on the hwy. I even put $1K down on it (@ John Elway Chevrolet in Englewood CO) but going on 3 months of waiting, GM still couldn't say when it would arrive (needed its computer chips) so it was parked "unfinished" at GM's Assembly Plant in Wentzville MO with 20K other "unfinished" Chevy trucks. So with "No ETA Available" from GM I bailed on the ZR2 (yes, they gave me back my $1K w/o issue!) and got a Jeep Gladiator (Rubicon). Remember, I wanted "Top Dog" so other (even 4x4) "normal" mid-size trucks like the Ranger, Canyon, Colorado, Frontier, etc. wouldn't do. Got one of the 2 Gladiator Rubicons I had been tracking (as a Plan B) all along off a Jeep dealer's lot (in a nearby city) within 2 days, so I was ready to jump on it after the failed ZR2 attempt. No waiting: Jeep dealerships in CO had PLENTY of Wranglers & Gladiators on their lots, whereas Chevy dealerships there were almost bare of ANY trucks, let alone Colorado ZR2s. And they had NONE in Sand Dune Metallic! Absolutely outrageous! ;-) So the Gladiator worked out to be the best choice really -- even if it was by-default (and even though costing ~$11K more). And the Rubicon's 7000lbs towing capacity (I needed a minimum of 5000lbs) allows me to tow the largest (and overloaded!) U-Haul 6x12 cargo trailer, or a small travel-trailer (like a 16' Airstream Basecamp-X), which is good, too. And Jeeps being narrower (for a reason!) are better for tight trails (less "pin-striping" damage). You mentioned some off-road vehicles being too wide -- they are! And some are too big & heavy besides being too wide, like some full-size (but also seriously-off-road-capable) trucks: Ford Raptor, Power Wagon and TRX. Your Land Rover Defender's 8000lbs towing capacity is very decent (beats me by 1000lbs): If your Class B ever breaks down, you can tow it home with your Defender! No need to call an expensive RV tow-truck. Very "progressive" (?) thinking of you there -- my compliments. ;-) Enjoy your Land Rover Discovery Defender 90 X-Dynamic (out of breath saying that though)! ;-) -- BR

Hello Jose, you are correct and I should have worn safety glasses. Thank you for the compliment and thank you for supporting my channel.
