Dont get me wrong I love the defender it just looks like its really top heavy and really close to the max weight

@wright-adventure 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Charles, not as heavy as you would imagine, the new roof weight is distributed across the whole, I used to have a roof tent and weight of that concentrated in one area was far more noticeable. Additionally in the back most of the load area is just empty space.

Sadly we are looking to sell. Many upgrades even on this incredible vehicle we have done - upgraded brake system including stainless steel braided pipes, tow bar with extender to carry bikes and all non spot lights upgraded to led plus so much more. But the game changer was the anti roll bars … Heavy duty to rear and OEM to front and the handling is incredible…Please message if interested !
