Thanks for posting. Seems to be a lot of hate on the new Defender. Personally, I love it.
Nice to see the new defender on the trails!
What an awesome trail!
The drone footage from the top was spectacular.
Thank you... our man Garrett was on point!
great to see the defender in action you make it look to easy
Awesome! That trail damage is just fingerprints for the vehicle...character and stories.
For sure! Trail patina!
Amazing! Can't wait for more! 🙂
8:00 epic shots....and what a vehicle
Thanks your videos are the best .. real world and not Land Rover experience , which while good
.. are prepared and rehearsed . It’s also good to get an idea of durability capability and what to expect .
Why don’t you get it vinyl wrapped .. that’s what we do in Australia then you have peace of mind when pinstriped !! ..
We didn’t have the time on this one. We’re running one more trail and filming with this one and then our next one arrives. Will likely wrap that one👍🏽
Steve Burt your local wrap shop will enjoy the promotion. One concern is under body and from protection .. how is that on your s .. and any ideas Re after market additions . In Australia we want / need bull bars for crazy jumping things ( Roos)
@@billtalbottownsville3635 ` somewhere I read, I think an Aussie publication, that LR was developing a factory bull bar kit for you... maybe the local dealers know more about it. LR seem to be wanting to do their own 'approved' mods for the Defender, hence the roof rack etc. Maybe a regulatory reason for this approach?
Great video. Nice to see the Defender doing these trails. It would also be good to see the other vehicles on the same sections as a comparison. 👍
We can do that. We own 4 Jeeps and a 4Runner as well...
Hey, Steve! Another great upload and glad to hear there's been an improvement in the music. Kudos to you and greetings from across the Pond! Voted & Sub'd.
You guys get the best deals, I've yet to see an off road no holds test in the UK. And what scenery you have you lucky dogs.
Thank you! More to come👍🏽
Awesome video man, this defender without locker is a beast, just imagine what it will do with front and rear lockers and a good set off tires
Thank you! Building our next one this coming week with rear locker, 33x12.5r18 KM3’s, sliders, and 2” lift. More videos to come in that one!
@@cotrails8356 Can't wait to see that bad boy in action. You just got a new subscriber 💪
AGUIAR R awesome. Check out our shoots with TFL Offroad!
No front locker, just center and optional rear. TC takes care of the front.
Nice. Bummed. Ordered my FE last November in Gondwana. Just got delivered last week. Unfortunately I had a left cerebellar stroke a few weeks before so have to hold for now. Can’t drive for a while. Got to go see at my dealer here in the Springs. It’s beautiful! 🥺🥺🥺 Damn COVID. Was supposed to be delivered April/ May. If so I would have had my baby at least sitting in my garage! Keep on with the videos. It’s pretty much all I can do lately!
There's a few companies who have managed to get 18s on P400 models now. They're also working on the front bumper and looking to relocate the rads so they can raise the front bumper for better approach angles.
Our rear locker P400 arrives late August so we will be lifting it and fitting with 18’s and sliders - we will run Red Elephant Hill and Wheeler Lake and shoot video as well!
@@cotrails8356 So you'll be replacing the rear calipers to get the 18's on?
@@arkos55 Yes, we installed 18’s on our latest P400 HSE build by using Lucky8 Off Road rear caliper kit . Check out our newest video...

Can I ask why you opted for "More wheel spin" in the configurator when going over some rocks?
Need more heat in the tires. The computer is too intrusive for the way we wheel hard obstacles...
@@cotrails8356 That was my favourite set up on Config TR. More slip with progressive throttle. Lets me do the modulation from the pedal.
@Steve Burt I’m looking at non-first edition defenders and I’m looking for the locking rear diff option. Is it under a different name?
You need to select the off road package which will automatically require Electronic active differential w/ torque vectoring. This will give you the rear locker. The to package will add Terrain Response 2 with configurable settings or you can select the advanced off road capability pkg to get it as well if you don’t want the tow pkg.
Thank you! I kid you not I just found one for sale near me with the Electronic active differential and it’s a first edition! I guess maybe the early run of first editions didn’t have the locking rear diff?
John Kokolakis the first couple hundred did not have lockers spec’d
Hi guys! What tire pressure you used at this trail?
15 psi
Sorry to ask but I did not see it in the comments. What tiresome were you running at this time and did you need a rod lift to avoid rubbing? I am about to put a set of cooper st maxx's in 265/70r18 (specs say 32.8") and was wondering if I need a set of proud rhino rods. Also, do you have any preference or thoughts on their 1" vs 2" rods?
Great videos!!
Like the cap you’re wearing in the opening sequence. Where can i find it?
We had those made a few years ago, unfortunately we don’t have any left
Hello. Thank you for your video, is that Defender equipped with the rear locker ?
This is an early launch First Edition so no locker on this one. We have another inbound with rear locker we’ll run to compare later this summer...
@@cotrails8356 I'm curious to see how much more (if at all) capable the locker makes the production defender. Seems with the new Bronco launch and Rubicon, all you hear is "front and rear locker" - and to see how capable this one is with no lockers, that's pretty impressive.
Thanks for the video, I'm in the market to get a new vehicle to do some camping and overlanding with and to make my wife happy. It looks like the Defender is a pretty good deal.
Its really good to see one of these that's not the Namibia trail! :)
@@cotrails8356 great job. Really looking forward to that comparison video! I also have one without a rear locker since that was what was available locally day one. Good to see it can still get it done with just traction control in the rear (and to configure a mode with the center diff licked and more wheel spin selected!)
What psi are you running in you KO2 while off roading?
We’ve settled in on 18 psi without beadlocks with the 18” wheels. We run 9 psi on beadlock wheels
Sweet!! Music has gotten better. Waiting on my FE to be here at end of August! Would have love to see the downhill portion of red cone as I know it gets steep. Did you change out the tires? I thought they come with Goodyear Wranglers?
Still running the KO2’s. Should be able to put 18’s on our inbound P400 unit with rear locking diff - Lucky8 Off Road has successfully found a wheel that fits!
Thanks Steve really appreciate your research . I am waiting on a se with off road and towing pack . Is the one you Demo have a lifted beyond the standard suspension ??
Bill Talbot Townsville it has a 2” lift from Lucky8 Offroad. We are building an HSE next week with rear locker, sliders, 33x12.5r18 KM3’s, and a 2” lift and will video later this month to compare!
Steve Burt Do you think the defender could handle red cone and chinaman gulch w/ stock air suspension?
Harold Lampasso yes to Red Cone. No to Chinaman Gulch... it is much harder than it was a couple years ago.
Is it possible to add the rear locker as an aftermarket addition?
Not aware of any aftermarket offering at this time
Is this a 4 cylinder engine or the 6? Thanks!
6 Cylinder P400 Launch Edition with no rear locker
I’m thinking about doing this trail in my 22 defender with 1.5in lift rods and K02s. Was wondering if this one was lifted when doing this trail?
Had 2” lift rods and 32’s… easy trail. Only one articulating challenging spot after the hard right switchback. Do you have rear locker?
@@cotrails8356 yes, center and rear locker. X model
Air down to 15 if you’re on 18” or 18-20 if on 20” rims
@@cotrails8356 thanks for the tips! 👍🏽
@@Pineboy104 you bet. Sidewall is better on KO2 than the stock tire but still not super durable
I'm very impressed with your driving skills but you should watch lucky 8's you tube channel and see how close it came to damaging a new defender. it was close and I take my hat off to his driving skill.
Know those guys... they’re great! Check out our latest video on Wheeler Lake in our newest build

Your New DEFENDER ´s videos are the wildest. It seems that you have 3 hands, because your right foot has a special sensitivity, you supply the absence of a rear lock with great cunning and you carry that pile of plastic above its possibilities, by the way, I see that you have secured the parts that fall in front of the door and in the back. Thaks You, Nice trails, Nice Mountains
MAN X whatever he carries it to are it’s possibilities because that’s what is doing it
Dumb question, how do you tell if you have rear lockers or not? I can't remember and don't have my sticker anymore!
In Terrain Response 2, there will be a pad lock on the center diff and on the rear diff. If no padlock displayed on rear it does not have the rear locker
@@cotrails8356 thanks, shucks I don't have rear lockers! Can this be installed at dealer you know?
Alan Faulkner I’m sorry, not aware of an install at the is time
Can you go with 18" wheels with the p400 ?
Have to fit with smaller rear rotors and calipers
@@cotrails8356 that sounds great, 33" tires with 18" wheels would be good
Khaled AlHammadi much better tire choices too!!!
Prefer to hear you talk over continuous music.. may be you can add your voice over during post processing than music.. Thank You for posting amazing videos.
Check out our latest build and video:

Thanks for video. I very like new Def. You should more use are sounds of life where's this possibly (example, sound motor ). Soundtrack (music) is very bad for watch. More make video!
Unfortunately, Not much sound to hear. Especially in the wind
Check out our shoot with TFL!

Who is the. Owner of land rover company
Landrover is owned by Indian industrial mogul Rattan Tata.
He is not mugal, he is parsi
If you are going to off road you are likely to bang up everything eventually so why care about the wheels? You probably can't put bigger than 33 inch tires regardless of your wheel size so what is the advantage to going with smaller wheels? You have a tire make other than BFG that you would like to fit and they don't come in 20 inch?
Yes... rims are expendable👍🏽. If we go down to 18” much better tire choices. We have a 2.0 coming fully locked with 18’s this fall and we’ll get it set up & compare!
@@cotrails8356 What tire do you recommend in 18 inch? I have K02s on my Land Rover P38 and they are pretty good off road but I know thee are more agresive tires out there. I selected the K02s since I do a lot of street driving and need something that will work well in wet weather. PS: When you say "fully locked" do you mean you have fitted a front locker?
My understanding is the smaller steel 18 inch rim would allow for a less low profile tyre ..( still 33 inch though). The higher ( less low profile ) tyre theoretically should have better floatation on sand with a longer foot print when run at lower pressures . I am waiting for my defender to arrive and while it will have 20 inch alloys , I am wondering if a 18i inch steel set is worth while ? What do others think .. is my understanding right ? I am interested in your experience when it comes Steve ..
Bill Talbot Townsville more sidewall with less rim. The sidewall is too small with the 20’s and 33” tires... you actually feel the rim on large obstacles. We want to get to a 35” tire, 4” lift, and an 18” rim... waiting on aftermarket to come up with a solution so we can really exploit the true capabilities that are being restrained due to rim/ tire size
Steve Burt I’m not sure how a 35 inch with 4 inch lift and 18inch rim would affect its air suspension and road handling ...
What do you think of 18 inch with 33 inch tyres ? ( do they make them even ?)
Why does Land Rover have to handicap their vehicles by selling them with 19 and 20 inch wheels with low profile tires. They are extremely capable vehicles but it’s like giving a wide receiver a backpack full of rocks. Put some rubber on the Defender, reduce the wheel size and stop this madness.The defender should have come with 16-17 inch wheels, standard 33 inch tires and optional 35’s. Period.
Great news out there this week... Lucky8 Offroad has found and aftermarket 18” wheel option that will fit on the large brakes found on the V6 models. More details coming from them soon!!!!
Steve Burt that sounds excellent . Can they send to Australia !! This is the key
that s why they will not be getting my money in oz
It’s a trade off they have to make between payload and brake size. New Defender has excellent payload capacity but they have to fit bigger brakes for that and so bigger wheels.
But this is available with 18” steel wheels. Any smaller will need some major aftermarket mods.
krisztian007 🙄
Coming from the old defenders... I still think this is more linked to the Discovery models and that LR missed the mark in calling it a Defender. The Defender came in so many options as in SWB (D90); MWB (D110) and then the LWB(D130); Utes; Wagons; Dual-cabs, etc... Cannot see this New Defender having all these options now that they have lost the separate chassis. This Defender is aimed at a different group/class of people now and has lost some of it's appeal... Having now to always select the correct Terrain Response settings for all the different terrains to me will become a PITA and that constant stopping - waiting for wheel-spin before u take off again will also become painful. In regards to maintaining the tracks - having vehicles with Traction Control that require wheel spin for it to proceed does little in preserving the condition of the track... Then there's the whole thing of durability - and longevity and reliability - Only time will tell with this one but for me, there is no way I would that vehicle to the remotest parts of a country until it has proven itself in the long term... With all the electronics/computers - what is the the fall back should there be an issue with one? Will u still be able to drive the vehicle albeit slowly to get yourself back to civilisation?? I'll reserve my opinion for the long term for the moment...
Let's zoom that camera out a bit so we aren't seeing your sinuses...:)
Hah! Got it!!!
Ha had to have a Jeep just in case. Nice.
We wheel four Jeeps, ‘20 Defender, and 2019 4Runner at my house...
Solely looking at numbers, the Defender is more capable.
Nathan Borne 🤣😂😅🤣😂😅
Joshua KAZ Fields I’m guessing you have a Jeep with the Rubicon appearance package
Joshua Hunt what is a three rubicon appearance package. There is no such thing as a appearance package for a Rubicon. Do some research before sounding uneducated
Mate, these are 4x4ing videos, you don’t need the cheesy royalty free music... we want to hear the engine and scrapes
turn tc off
