In this video we try and fit the great value JEEP rear door camping table to the back rear door tailgate of our 2020 Land Rover Defender L633. Join as we work out the best way to fit this to the door.

Awesome work!! I think definitely just buy a bunch of them yourself and then sell a complete, absolutely sorted, no DIY required kit!

Simon, I like your modifications and will order the kit, including the table and modified brackets, from you as soon as you have it ready. I want to order for shipment to the U.S. to support your continuing efforts on behalf of us New Defender owners.

Thanks Simon, I fitted this on my Defender a few weeks ago and havent been pleased with the fit, particularly a way to keep it secured and stop it from rattling. Very clever. Will be adopting your method tomorrow.

Nice little mod. I think I've binge watched all your new Defender videos over the last few days. It's getting time to upgrade my old L320 which incidently has a few of your parts on, grills, badges, vents, door handles etc. I think the more I watch your videos the more I want a Defender. Love your work Simon and the sheer honesty that comes with it. 🙏👍

I love your Defender too 😁 I kind of have the luxury too, my car sits parked up about 6 months of the year as I work at Sea and the "Boss" has her car so it's kind the best of situations when owning a Landy 😁. Having said that the Rangey really hasn't caused me too many problems. Had her packed with camping gear alway from Aberdeen to Silverstone for the F1 which really sparked my interest in the Defender after that trip. Anyway I look forward to more of your Landy adventures and mods

Hi Simon, this was great I’ll be ordering one today and yes I’d buy your kit to make it work better. I did have another idea for camping….with the air suspension there should be a camping mode that levels the car for you 💡 in off road mode it knows and shows all the angles so the car does know what level looks like.

@L663
@L663 2 жыл бұрын
Well you are not the only person with this idea... I heard a rumour that there is company working on this BUT this should be a feature on the phone app for example....I guess the car has angle sensors in both directions - it clearly has height sensors at each wheel but it needs also to have angle sensors.

Another excellent mod video. 👍🏻 I fitted one of these to my Defender a month or so back, very pleased with it. From what I've seen on 't net, the contents of the supplied table vary slightly so, in my case there was a bit of hacking involved. I like your idea of reversing the brackets although I'd be happier to buy some bespoke ones than bother cutting them down myself (hint). 😉 I found I could adjust the levelling of the table by tightening the retaining cables at an angle, effectively making them shorter. Also: if you find yourself parked on a slight upwards (or downwards) slope you can level the Defender by adjusting the rear suspension height. Last thing: have you thought about how to mount a CB antenna? It's something I've been scratching my head over so if you've any ideas that'd be good. 🤣

I have a magnetic mount antenna for our vhf radio and plan to install a steel plate on the roof rack for it. Temporarily I used industrial strength velcro on the rack and antenna to hold it in place. Not as elegant as some possible solutions but works for us and there are no permanent scars.

Have you made a video about the rear light I see on the top near rear door? I went camping this weekend and the reversing lights are pretty horrible in complete dark. I don't want to add the small leds to the bottom of the tail lights but a nice flood light on the top is exactly what I wanted to do. Specially if i can change the orientation if needed.

I would prefer that you make a new bracket for a cleaner look also on the screws how about a retainer clips on them so they don’t fall out and stay there on the table I don’t think they would get in the way. Still waiting on the spare tire bracket removal plates, please don’t make they so expensive as the company selling them in Italy. Hopefully less than a $100.00 dollars would be great,as I am waiting on them. Thank you for all your videos and help on the Land Rover Defender stuff. I just mounted so Jerry can holders to the roof rack yesterday,had to cut the T bolts down by 9mm’s.

Hi Bill - you are right that i was certainly late to the party on this modification - Non Stick Nick and Tim Oliver and yourself were all way ahead of me.. although not sure anyone did it the same way with the cut down slimmer brackets and thum screw fixings but I may be wrong.

Try mounting the support brackets the opposite sides to how you’ve mounted them as they appear to be the wrong way round then the tray retaining clips may then work … just my initial observation
@L663
@L663 2 жыл бұрын
Paul you are 100% correct but the problem is that then the holes are too close to match the holes on the door - then you need to add extra brackets as per this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adB0atmL1MnKXWg.html Also those retainers are bit goose as they are super tiny and prone to rattle so my screwed in fixings work for me.
