no you can not. This is attached to our trailer so the trailer can stay back but if it was attached to the vehicle you would need to break it down and stow it before driving away.

We ran power from the Genesis dual battery under the hood to the port on the passenger side where the D ring tie down is from the factory

Thanks for your comments :)

thanks for checking it out. we tow a trailer so there is room in the Boreas AT for sure. In general the bags fit on the floor behind the front seats and then bedding etc is already in the trailer. if i didn't have the trailer and I had kids it would be tight for sure.

yes we considered doing a winch, however we decided not to on this initial build. being this was our first land rover product we wanted to make sure we like more than the aesthetic of the brand before we really went down the build rabbit hole.

The ground was too hard for the metal ground grabbers we had. The area is mostly sandstone and granite so you're trying to stake in to rock bed. We did get a new awning room instead of replacing the light strip. The lighting is strong. The white light is exceptional. The orange light setting seems less bright mostly due to color temp.

@@wanderlustoverland Nice, I got the room a few days ago but I haven't used it yet. As for the awning, it has been with me for a year. and the lighting is really strong, but I was wondering how strong it is inside the room. Will I need other lights or is the Awning lighting sufficient?

@@oldstory-sz4qc We have an aux light on the side of the trailer which is crazy bright, so I don't really use the light on the awning any more, but from what I remember it was plenty for ambient. If you're cooking inside or digging in to bags at night you may want a headlamp.

@@wanderlustoverland Very Nice Thank you you helped me a lot And I appreciate that.

Thanks for checking out the video. The tie downs are "Quick tie-downs" and the stakes and stake bag are from Ground Grabba

It would seem they are, tho. Take a look at the Overland Trips we have taken and you'll see plenty of off-road worthiness in the Defender and our Boreas trailer.

sorry to hear this. we have not had any serious issues

What engine do (did) you have?

Thanks a bunch. We appreciate the support

yes. we leave it attached because it's easier to store that way

The original LED strip worked for nearly a year. We installed the replacement and it worked fine our whole trip.

Thanks for checking us out. Hopefully, you've subscribed to the channel. We have the factory 20" wheels with 265 60 20 BFG KO2 tires. We initially did not choose to lift it as it only rubbed in access height, but then we took it on some trails and found it rubbed a little bit when flexed. I then decided to run a 1" lift rod from Proud Rhino that we purchased from Lucky 8. Over all, we are very happy with the Defender coming from our previous rig, a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon on 37s.

Appreciate your feedback and yes I subscribed. I look forward in watching future content. Was the one inch lift rod a difficult install?

@@patrickdougherty2171 not at all

yes. That side does zip shut for inclement weather and it is possible to do that while inside the trailer.

it's treated. the water beads but if you let it sit it will soak through

Thanks@@wanderlustoverland

ARB says it’ll do 100 mile an hour winds. I wouldn’t trust that however we have seen 60+ miles an hour and it’s been fine. It flaps a little bit against the trailer. Other than that not a big deal.

Yes, it is Ira Gray with the factory, Matt PPF

it's sort of a home made job bolted to the Rock Slide Spare Tire mount

Correct. We do not have the rear locker option

We had 265's at the time of this video = 32.6" tire BFG KO2 Load Range C. Hope this is helpful

How do you fit the 33’s did you do a lift rod? If so how big? I’m considering a 1” lift hoping it doesn’t affect the ride too much.

@@humblesophos No lift. It only rubs in access mode.

100% I know of a few folks that only have this awning and awning room and they put cots in there and use it like a tent.

the only real reason is because we wanted the propane tank as far away from the open flame as possible.

We did add rock sliders from Proud Rhino. This video was actually the inspiration for adding them.

yeah, I have a bad habit of calling all my rigs, "trucks"

@@wanderlustoverland I’m just giving you a hard time

Thanks so much. We appreciate the support. We have a couple of product reviews going up, one today and another later this month. We are also having Rock Sliders and a 1" lift installed later this week or early next week. After that we will go back to our local off-road park (Northwest OHV Park in Bridgeport) for some more technical trail videos to showcase the capability of the Defender. Then next month we will be taking a trip to MERUS Adventure Park for 2 days of off-road excursions and camping, which should be another great video. Again, really appreciate the support - From Texas, CHEERS!

Thanks for your comment. We mounted the light bar to a pretty solid thick plastic cross member that supported the front of the automatic air flow flaps in the lower section of the grill. The rear of the light bar clears the flaps and does not interfere with air flow. Search for PowerfulUK New Defender Front Bumper removal for the video we used to disassemble the front end to gain access to the light bar mounting area.

100% we also wanted to be able to tow our boat, so the P400 was the only option

yep. I'm really glad I got rid of the stock tires and upgraded to something more hefty for that very reason

🤣

iPhone 13 Pro. I'll be doing a video on how we shoot what we shoot in the near future. Be sure to subscribe.

At this point I really only see a need for a short lift . It is primarily an Overlander so it works great as is.

Looking forward to it

Thanks for your comment. It has the P400

😂
