Thanks for the inspiration man. Your setup is awesome. I’m headed to pick up my Defender now and am looking to do the same thing as you with it!
We think you'll love it! Let us know if you need any help on your build!
Would like to watch more videos like this setup, please upload any adventures you do with this Defender, hope to have one like this one on my own
Looks like a great setup
I love watching your videos, I have a hankering for a new defender and all the gear but no practical use for it!
Glad you like them!
This is how you spec a defender no expense spared
Love Land Rover defender 🗺️🦒🦓🐗🦁🐘🦉🦏🛶⛷️📷🎞️🎥
Dude awesome rig. I’m currently in an LR4 on the east coast. So many similarities between the two, but the Defender is much more easily customizable which is so cool. Great to finally see one with the factory winch and bullbar- and it looks good. Would be nice if it gave some protection to the lights but its still really good. Need to wait for Compomotive UK to make 18s that fit with no spacers or mods and then put them, lift kit and 33s (or maybe a bit more) on. If you’re thinking of doing so I highly recommend doing the bump stop increasers and limiting straps from lucky eight. In event air sus fails and drops down it will provide more room so body doesn’t fall onto tires and get you stuck. And limiting straps prevent over articulation from those extra bump stops that can damage CV joints and control arms. From personal experience with 31.8 tires on my LR4 the air sus dropped onto standard bump stops (luckily I was only 2 miles from home) and the tires barely fit- Made it buts lots of rubbing. Not sure if I was offroad with bumps if I would have made it.
Thanks for the feedback and glad you like it as much as we do!
@@Autoplicity these are the types of vids of the Defender I want to see. Looks like you had a beautiful location. More vids of your adventures please!! Have fun out there. 🤙
@@dadventuretv2538 what would you like to see next?
Great video thanks. Can you please do a follow up on how you wired in the light bar and rear lights please, plus how you turn on/off etc. Additionally can you show us the winch in action taking on/off the cover panel and using the remote etc. Can you comment on how you think the panel hiding the winch will fair over time - if your going to use it.
Thanks Rory. Watch this space we plan to continue publishing more content on this build. Next up will be the lights, and per your request we'll do one for the winch

You have a nice set up for the average weekend warrior
Just beautiful 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍
Great content.
Looks like you have the Defender Roof Rack, does the Front Runner water tank & fuel tank bracketing system fit into the slots provided on this rack or did you have to do some modifications to make it work?
Thinking of ordering a 90 w/ 0 options. Then making it my own.
Do you know if the air suspension has an auto-level feature for those tilted camp spots? That would be cool if it levels itself once you park, for the tent
It does auto level, but not like you’re thinking. However the trunk controls to drop or raise the rear are handy for balancing the truck laterally.
Range Rover doesn't scream down to earth camping Guy. LOL Good luck with your channel
Great setup! And congratulations on your new defender.
Does the reception of the antenna gets compromised with the gear mounted on the back?
I think that antenna is primarily for Sirius radio which I don’t use. GPS works fine, and the antenna isn’t covered
Literally placed my order for almost the same model and accessories today. Is that the satin exterior finish? Also, do you have a base plate that goes in the rear cargo area that you put your fridge slider on that you can take out when you’re not over landing? If so I would love to know if you made it yourself or could I get 1 somewhere. Great video, thanks!!
Hey John checkout our pack out video where we talk about the way that box is made that the fridge sits in. And yes, that's the Satin finish on Pangea green
@autoplicity, looks like you have the factory LR expedition platform, how well does the front runner and rhino accessories fit/mount to it? Do you use any custom mounts or are they compatible?
You’ll need to make a bracket or two and hunt down some t bolts, but it all bolts up great with no whistling on the road which is key!
@@Autoplicity, got it, thanks! I don't mind making brackets if needed, but I've had a hard time sourcing t bolts... Where can those be found? (Outside buying Thule adapter kits which has more that the bolts... Apparently Thule is the manufacturer for the LR platform)
Hello!
How did you fix the Frontrunner Water Storage on the Explorer Roof Rack? With Frontrunner’s original mounting bracket and nut/bolt kit or did you use some other aftermarket items?
Best greetings from Italy!
Used the Front Runner brackets and some Thule t bolts
@@Autoplicity sean, did you move the rails to align with the FR fixing points? mine are out by and 1 1/2 inches or so.
I didn’t hear you mention the wrap. Is that the factory wrap? I just took delivery of a HSE same color and loving the look. Dilemma is that the bottom sills and wheel arches are gloss. Do I satin wrap the whole vehicle including trim and then add the extended wheel arches?
Yes this is an aftermarket Satin wrap, looks the same as factory, except it's a better install job. You'd pull the trim, wrap, then put your extended arches on
Great video - is your Defender wrapped? I see a paint wrap option on the LR website and your paint job looks unique - thanks
Yessir! Thank you, love how it turned out
Autoplicity - is it the LR factory wrap or 3rd party? - thanks
@@brianhumphrey8494 It's Suntek Ultimate, very similar to the factory wrap
How did you mount your tent? Directly to the LR rack or to tent cross bars and then to the rack
The clamps that come with just about any tent will mount right to the cross bars or expedition rack just fine
How is the wind noise with the roof rack? Take away the confounding factors of all the stuff on it - have you driven with just the rack on naked? Debating if the wind noise would be a deal breaker
I hate noise, by packaging everything tightly I have no perceivable increase in wind noise with tent and storage. I have not tried it with no rack at all.
Nice rig.
Thanks 👍
Good afternoon Shawn I would like to how you mounted the front runner double Jerry can holders to the Land Rover roof rack as I want to do the same for my water and fuel Jerry cans before we go to Alaska thank you for your help and time.
Hey Hector. There are holes in that Jerry Can holder base. you put T bolts into your factory roof rack's channels, then use nuts and washers to secure the platform to your roof. Has thousands of miles offroad and no issues yet!
autoplicity.com/14517861-front-runner-outfitters-jcho014?
@@Autoplicity thank you
Are the rock sliders useful as steps as well?
Yes they're great for that, you wanna make sure you have a firm step though because sliding off that would do a number on your shin!
@@Autoplicity You could theoretically put a thin strip of some grip tape on the top of the rock sliders.
Hi. Enjoying your videos. We want to mount a fridge in rear for overlanding. Could you show us how that is powered and installed? Is it still possible to access storage below etc? Thanks.
Thanks! Originally I was using the 12v outlet in the back and just plugging the fridge in. We've got a more sophisticated dual battery setup now, video coming soon
Awesome rig! I spoke with Lucky8 about the rock sliders and they mentioned that they wouldn't be able to be installed with the front mud flaps from the exp package. Yours look like you didn't have any issues installing them with the mud flaps on. Did you have to do anything special to install them?
Thanks!
Yes you do have to trim the mud flaps a bit to make it work. Not a big deal and we think the big flaps are a must have!
Great video, do you mind sharing how did you get electricity up on to the roof?
Thanks! The lights we cover in our light video, it's drilled through the roof
Did you buy all the accessories with the truck or you added them as you go?
We sell all the accessories you see on the truck including the Genuine Land Rover parts!
does anyone know if the rear tow hooks are apart of a package or do you buy as an accessory after purchase. looking to get a base model one not sure if they come with the rear tow recovery hooks
They come on the X model in the US only. They're really inexpensive to buy at the parts counter
@@sushisean1 I guess il be using my hitch recovery mount from my jeep
@@fadedQ or for about $50 install the factory ones
Hi Sean. I have a First Ed 220 D240 will same mods. I have some questions relating to the front runner and Dual fuel carrier fixings. Can you confirm how you mounted yours. I have the 45lt Water sitting on a pair of 4mm aluminium strap to bridge the gaps to the Fixing raAlexils in the thule. dont know if you can send any images or not. Id send you mine but i dont know how.
Alex we used t bolts in the channels of the factory expedition rack cross bars. they're easily adjustable for and aft using a torx driver. One screw on each side of the cross bar needs to be loosened and you can slide them freely back and forth
@@Autoplicity thanks. I figured as much . great setup. great to visualise how mine will look fully loaded
What roof rack is the best in your opinion?
Depends on your use case. If your truck doesn't already have one, I'd recommend the Front Runner as it's a lot easier to mount a variety of accessories on
Shaun what size are the tyres please?
In this video, we had factor 20" all terrains
What was the box you used to cover the fridge?
Garage built out of birch and bed liner
My only concern with these defenders is the air suspension . Can they be fixed road side ?
Shouldn't be a concern today. It's as reliable as any gas shock by now
@@Autoplicity yes your probably right
When do you plan on getting 33” tires for it?
🤔
Do you get lots of noise?
Basically no change in noise
