And also I loved the fact that mrs osta personalized a message on the outside. I cut it out and it’s magnetized to my tool box. Thank you so much

    Nice one OSTA
    If you bolt the 2 tires together where they touch. You won’t get as much of a windrow of snow left behind. Or add a third tire in front. It acts as a V plow. Making pulling it much easier as it’s not loaded with snow. I used to pull them behind a skidder in the oilfield when opening up new roads. Works awesome

    I just got a new 2023 Defender 6x6 limited also a couple months ago based alot on your "deep six" videos.. Very cool rig for sure. Kinda bummed that the 2024's now get the smart front dif instead of the visco lock. I guess with having 100% 4 wheel drive in back makes the visco lock ok. I stayed with stock 30" tires/wheels for dirt trails but bought a full set of SS360 sand/snow tires for dunes on bronze System 3 beadlock wheels. Cool rig!!!

      Had nothing but problems with my visco lok on my 6x6. I basically gave up after it became completely ineffective after only 1000 miles or so. Now I have what’s essentially a Detroit style mechanical locker in the front. So far I’ve broken two CV axles (mickeys hot tub was not nice to me) and a day after repairing, I have clicking again. Not a fan of either so I’m guessing/hoping the smart lok is at least better than both these options. It only cost me about 3000$ to realize this. Yay!

    I want to build a 6x6 recovery/chase vehicle for my riding group here in the mid-Atlantic area of the US, but I'm hesitant because I'm wondering if the Defender suspension can handle aggressive driving or if it's best left to 25 mph and lower speeds on bumpy, rutted and rocky trails. Any thoughts Osta?

      They can rail the trails up to 60mph. Really awesome units

    I have tracks for my Polaris 6x6 to bad my tracks wouldn’t fit on your defender

    Bolt the tires together & get rid of the center snow ridge
