Finally - a new Defender that looks balanced! No more skate board wheels! Nice!
It does look like a skateboard with no suspension travel with such tires...)
That lift+tires should be offered as a pack by LR.
For sure!!! We agree!!!
💯
They had to move engine coolers and cut the chassis to get the wheels in there.
Just a little bit past a "kit." These things aren't Jeeps.
@@Arrynek01 we did not modify any subframe or unibody on this unit
Glad we were able to supply you the subframe lift Steve, your defender looks awesome and smashed that trail 😎🦾
Thank you!!! It’s a great addition!!!!
This should be the only way defenders should be sold. Looks so much better.
@@clintstuckey 100%
Is the wade calculation updated with the lift?
@@rockhurstu no sir, we just add it up in our mind 👍🏼
You guys did absolutely amazing work,
Appreciate,
This is the beast the new Defender always wanted to be!
The engine sounds absolutely amazing.
Looks super cool, great vid guys🔥
Awesome stuff Steve
That Defender looks so good
The lift is brilliant
👍
Thank you, we're really happy with how it turned out!
Awesome build
Awesome.... Great crawling with a new grip 👌🏻... 6k only in 3day...alot of fans seeing ur vid brothers.
That thing looks badass
A stunning display of man and machine, that defied newtonion physics.
God that’s a beast really! A pretty beast
Awesome Defender 🎥🚙💨
The rock rails and beefy mud terrain tires are real game-changers. No more rocker panel anxiety. I hope to see more footage of the rock rails put to good use.
Check out our Poison Spider shoot. More videos in edit coming👍
Sweet! So good! Makes it look tough as.
Thanks! We’re really happy with how it turned out! Headed to Moab to film in May👍
So impressive.
An amazing upgrade for the new Defender and an excellent video to show how it handles. Thanks for posting it. LR should offer it as standard and/or make the wheel arches bigger to do these type of things.
Yes we keep requesting for when they do the refresh👍
@@cotrails8356 ah have LR a plan for this ?
@@dwahnsinn doesn’t sound like they do at this point…
The engine sounds great
Looks super cool, beast
Thank you! Really happy with the build!!!
I hope Land Rover are watching this and actually fit bigger wheel arches on the next Defender for after-market modifications like this, that's if they want to beat thr competition. And while they're at it, let's hope they make air suspension optional on higher models too.
We agree... they didn't plan for this and I bring it up on EVERY call! Maybe the future SVX will correct this and then trickle back into the other models
@@cotrails8356 let's hope so. Otherwise a very good job you guys did with it. How about the reliability, is it better or still crap as before?
@@sequoia689 I have over 20k seat time so far in the New Defender. I have had some software updates and punctured a sidewall (my fault)... that is it in 4 different units.
@@cotrails8356 we also have high hopes for the SVX and we hope the fix the cooler issue on stock ones too to allow 35s with a small lift and no trimming as you say 👌🏽🙌🏽
In capabilities, no other competition can beat LR.
Looks so much better. JLR must do this.
We agree... the correct tire size for the vehicle for sure! Wish JLR planned for at least 35's!
super i was waiting for this kind of super off roading video of defender
Thank you, more coming!!!
With the new set up you might want to show the difference by redoing the obstacles it got hung up on the tfl video.
Great job with the mods.
Looks so much better now!
We couldn’t agree more. Check out our latest build, Big Barry, D110 Trophy on 37’s with 5” lift👍
That looks like a proper Defender. I’d like to see it loaded up sometime.
We're running it to Moab this weekend to film again!!!
No. It does not look like a proper Defender. it looks like a range rover sport.
Awesomeness!
Nice!
Wow that looks so cool 8 bet 37s on the Defender 110 would look perfect , I have the 2 door 90
Works pretty good when you take off the Ballet slippers.
Well done car 😊❤️🇬🇧
Amazing defender guys this vid pushed me into ordering one :D I got a 110 p300 X arriving next year and am keen to do the same thing with 35's. I get the car start of next year but am keen to buy the things I need for the lift now, what would you recommend? And I'm in New Zealand. Is this a costly upgrade? And what would your downfalls be when its not off road? Cheers guys subscribed and liked!
I ran that trail 10 years ago in a Cherokee on 31’s. It’s a lot rougher now. The trails will deteriorate with weather and use.
Most of the trails have seen significant use making many of the obstacles much more challenging during COVID
I'd like to see this with bull bars and brush bars and a nice row of spot lights and a snorkel.
But sadly I haven't seen any fully modded new defenders yet.
This is probably the most or second most modded one I have seen so far.
We don’t really have a use for bull bars or snorkels here in the Rockies. We only mod to our specific needs in Colorado/ Moab👍
SUPER 👍👌 AUTO!!! ✌️😎
Great, I have a 2008 Defender myself ... if I had the money it would be added 👌🏻
Now that i see it with 35x I think 30-33 is this cars sweet spot.
Muito competente!
i love the sound
We bypassed the rear resonator
@@cotrails8356
The V8 Defender is going to sound mighty fine.
@@StephenFogarty2023 yes it is!!! Can’t wait to build one of those too!
@@cotrails8356
Just wondering
What r ur thoughts on diesel
I’m in Australia
Fuel costs a lot more in Australia v USA
We currently pay about
$ 1.60 per litre for petrol here
Equates to -
$ 6.00 AUD per gallon for petrol.
I’m ex JLR
I love diesels
Torque, economy etc
D300 is 220 kw / 650 nm
If they sold these with diesel in USA, would u go for it, or do u prefer petrol/gas ?
A diesel Defender is a lot more economical v petrol / P400 motor
@@StephenFogarty2023 we struggle with diesel here in the states. I personally love the torque and the mileage. Really looking forward to the V8 for our next build
What is the offset of your wheel? Btw love this Defender, I also want to have the 18 instead of 20” wheel but not sure if it fits the front.
So 35s fit on the stock Defender with no modifications? I just got a 2024 and would love to get a set of 35s with smaller wheels for off-roading it EDIT NVM he lifted it...
The suspension just lacks a lot of travel. Better than a lot of other crossovers for sure but it just needs a bit more and it will be phenominal. Solid axles are not the only way but they usually have good travel
It is a very different style with independent suspension for sure. As the New Bronco rolls out and hits the trail you will notice that it, along with the 4Runner, share similar attributes and “stiffness”. However, you will find all 3 of these vehicles successfully attempt obstacles that most owners will never even try. Our new build will have additional downtravel and we’re hoping to have it done this month👍
КЛАССНЫЙ ДЭФФ👍👍👍👍👍👍
Jesus those cast aluminum control arms looks so dangerously close to cracking on hitting hard rocks.
Aluminum slides so nicely over the ricks verses stamped steel. Several aftermarket working on skids and control arm sliders as well👍
😲😲😲😲 wow
Can you tell how you fit 35s? I heard it requires a lot of trimming and cutting, in what exactly? I would like to fit 35s too but I can't do the trimming part
4” subframe lift. Correct offset of wheels, tires up to 11.5” wide. Trim as needed in front wheel wells based on tire choice and rim offset. May need to tilt cooler forward as well.
We’re running 37’s now on 5” subframe lift with a lot of trimming cutting etc
OMG 😁😁❤️❤️❤️
Now how do you get back down ?
What a beast!
What's the brand of your sunglasses? Nice looking

In my humble opinion they have completely missed the point at LR. When you are in the bush, hundreds of kilometers away from civilization, the last thing you want is a sensor that fails or an air suspension malfunctioning.
Like the previous Defender this one should have been a straight forward vehicle and a good basis for modifications. The new Defender is far from that.
Because the vehicle is loaded with electronics, they had to us automatic gearbox, which again. Is complicated, loaded with electronics and in case of failure you need an expert with fully tooled workshop to repair it, something no available in the desert or the jungles of Africa.
In fact, this is a very sophisticated and capable SUV but not an expedition vehicle.
True.... But 99% of them won't see more than a Puddle on the way to dropping the kids off at school sadly
From what I read in a review LR has designed it so when failures occur remotely they should fail in away you can still limp. I would like to know more detail from LR on that.
I'll be surprised if the tires won't rub.
Hello, my car is P300 SHE. I have installed a front runner on the roof. I want to install 35tires and 4 lift kits. I don’t know if this setting will be too heavy or affect the engine or other aspects？thank you
That will be a lot of added weight for the P300. Stay with a lighter tire like a KO2 should help. The BFG’s don’t measure true to size so less trimming as well
Now just work on the reliability, my buddy and I would each buy one fully kitted and shipped to TN from you. As a previous customer of yours, I ended up buying my second 200 series from you a few years ago. Great customer service there. Can’t say the same with the Flatirons LR. My good friend bought a RRS SVR and she hates going there. Very condescending service advisors.
Great Build, how much did you air down to?
Thanks! We were too low at 12.5 psi with 35’s on 18” rims ... 15 psi is better choice with that setup
Why Toyo and not BFGoodrich? In my opinion, there is too much slippage. Was the exhaust system expensive?
Tokyo’s are much grippers in the rocks vs KO2 or KM2. We would have gone with KM3’s but country was sold out at time of our build. Exhaust modifications were under $800. Sounds soooo much better
Amazing build, very interested in more information on the build, ie cost, time, etc. who would I reach out to so to get more information?
Feel free to email me at sburt@landroverdenver.com
Wish there was a way to lift it this high but maintain the suspension travel it has in normal mode. Once you lift it with the Johnson rods and then go in to offroad height there is no articulation and you find yourself lifting wheels if you cross a speedbump diagonally. Love it but really wish they would have given it a solid rear axle. Amazing rig regardless. This definitely restores my interest but I think I'm going to wait for the ineos grenadier.
The 4” subframe lift will do exactly what you’re thinking. Retains original ride but provides the lift. We will be putting the 4” subframe lift on our V8 when with 45’s when it arrives
@@cotrails8356 nice! I love this vehicle just wish it at least had a solid rear axle or make it an option.
@@cotrails8356 that would be great for the cool spring version of this vehicle. Maybe some 2 inch springs along with body spacers and some swaybar disconnects should give it some. suspension articulation. Now I'm thinking I want one.
@@cotrails8356 I will be looking forward to see that setup :)
@@cotrails8356 what size tires on the V8 with the 4” lift kit? 33”? 34” on 20” wheels? Does the subframe lift kit install do anything to the warranty? Will Land Rover do the install if asked?
I'm waiting on the big V8, they'll be in gray, black and white.
We're building our first V8 when it arrives... who knows, maybe go 37's?!?!
@@cotrails8356 when are you all expecting to see V8 in your area? I'm in Houston and hope to see them here in August.
I just bought a New Defender, may I ask what modifications did you have to do to the body of the car to be able to fit 35" tires did you have to cut the guards?
Check our website or insty, subframe lift, some tweaks to cooler location depending on lift size. Bigger than 35s can be done 😏
@@newdefendermods do you have any video of subframe lift kit installation?
@@zelenizub2036 The kit is proprietary, full instructions come with, decent shops can fit.
You will need to tilt the front coolers and trim the front inner fenders depending on tire choice. An 11.5” wide requires very little. A 12.5” wide requires more. The 4” subframe lift is probably the best setup and then if you still want a little boost you could add 1”, 1.5”, or 2” lift rods. The lift rods limit down travel so I would select the smallest you need or none at all. We will most likely be going to the larger kiddy with 37’s on our next build. The lift is very straight forward to install and takes about a day with proper tools and a lift. Figure two days of doing yourself and in a garage with no lift.
Can't wait to buy one of these at $40k in a few years as they depreciate into the ground.
All premium cars depreciate
buy a discovery 2. They aren't worth anything any more. Heck. jeeps sell for more than them. My dad has a 2000
👍💪
Looking to purchase, where can I get those 35s???
Check with Wheel Pros. They always treat us right!!!
Is there any footage of a 2" lift tacoma driving this same trail?
Should be some on TH-cam. We've run our '19 4Runner on this trail with 2.5" lift and 33's
35 inch tires and suggesting 37. Everyone is about bigger, taller tires. When do you changer final drive ratio to compensate?
No need with the 35’s. P400 has incredible power. May need to consider with 37’s but still an unknown
@@cotrails8356 Does tire size put your speedometer out?
I wish someone would put portal axles on one of these.
Nice idea. Ya have to do 37's to 40's at least.
Me too!!! Would be awesome Offroad👍
Is there any update on this rig? Wife and I are looking into one.
This is several builds ago. We’re running 37’s on our V8110 named KONG. Running it again down the Rubicon Trail this weekend
@@cotrails8356 thank you for the reply, looking forward to seeing it on the trail.
Man that thing looks bad to the bone! It's going to be a tough decision when I replace the ol' P38. Diesel Range Rover or Defender.
the wheel lifts on almost everything you drive over... is that any concern to you? i come from the jeep world where tires stay planted most of the time.
It’s a completely different approach vs our solid axle Jeeps. It is very similar to our 4Runner. We just rolled up Metal Masher and Poison Spider in Moab and it was fantastic. Working on editing video and hope to have it up in the next week👍
@@cotrails8356 sweet!
Wow 8:15 no F’s given. Got money to blow 😂
Just another day of wheeling in the Rockies… Moab video coming soon with even more👍
Any vids yet from your trip to moab?
Yes in edit, business has been booming and have to to finish them this week…
@@cotrails8356 awsome cant wait@
JLR owner - Ftype. Nice, but out in the sticks on some trail I'd rather depend on a new Bronco to get me home.
The new Bronco wouldn't even get you there, let alone home.... Seeing as it's not been released yet!
I have to ask, why "More Wheelspin" in Configurable TR for a rock crawling situation?
The factory programming is too sluggish for the big rocks
Also... often times we need the tire to heat up for more grip in the rocks
@@cotrails8356 Okay 🤔 I guess that makes sense then.
I bet those E rated toyos don’t feel great, too bad they dont make a D rating in toyo/nitto MT’s in 35/18
Why no portal axles?
We’d love to see someone make that happen👍
This is lift suspension?
4” lift on this build. 2” subframe and 2” lift rods. Our latest build is on 5” subframe and 37’s
What's the power like in the Diesel model ?. I've been reading up on the new v8 super charged 575 hp.
Looking forward to the V8! A few were built for US market before parts constraints delayed the rest to Q1 next year. We don’t offer the Diesel here in the US unfortunately
@@cotrails8356 shame . Is it too do with emissions ?. Or diesel isn't a good seller in the market there ?.
@@melpeddle7243 a little of both
Hey where did you get that Land Rover hat? I've been looking for some good looking Land Rover hats!!
We made those several years ago... probably should do another batch someday!
Please do!
what kind of wheels are these?
TuffAnt
Did i must change the lift kit to put the 35s or 37s on the defender
You can cut a lot and potentially fit a BFG 35 on there with 2” lift rods… really need 4” lift for 35’s and 5” for 37’s. 11.5” wide tire requires less trimming
And on 33s do i put any lift kit
@@mohamadkurdi1820 probably will need lift rods. Really depends on the tire choice as to how much trimming is required
@@cotrails8356 tank you so much
NIce lookin' ride. Wheelin looks like it is NOT in its true nature. Looks a little stiff. Less spring, more shock maybe????
Airride and independent suspension is a different experience vs our solid axle Jeeps. The Defender takes everything in stride an tackles trails 95% will never attempt. Where it really shines is the capability Offroad, plus 8200 lb tow capacity and unmatched ride comfort and luxury on road🤣
@@cotrails8356 I dont know about you, but Im not driving an expensive ass vehicle into the woods. Ill use the f250 for that rough stuff. Not that performance is any better or worse. Just cheaper to fix when I do things I shouldn't.
ça rebondit beau coup..
Love the build! But What happens when you’re on trail and the multiple fault lights appear? My defender proved to be the most unreliable truck I’ve ever owned.
I have over 30k seat time in our Defenders now. Have had no faults in any of them…
Love the video, doing the new Defender justice!! Question: What do you tell the purists that say this isn't a "real" defender?
Interesting question… it exceeds the old defender in every category with the exception of having independent suspension/ articulation. We’re running these New Defenders on trails that 90%+ will never even consider attempting. With 8200 lb tow capacity, an exceptional powertrain for performance, a perfect size inside and out. It checks so many boxes for us and we wheel our Jeeps and 4Runner as well… I have 25k+ seat time in New Defender currently. New videos from Moab in edit and out soon…
I eish i could lift mine like that but nobody lifts Defenders out where I am at. My stock height is 255/60r20 which is like 33/10.50 r20. I want to do 265/65r20 and that would make it 34 inches but I don't think I could do even that because the stock wheel looks like it barely fits in there already.
34’s are too large without a lift and a lot of trimming 33’s fit with lift rods and some trimming depending on tire choice👍
@@cotrails8356 do you think i could run 265/60r20 on the stock set up for now? I have Michelin street tires and they did not do well in the desert lol. and I would like to run BFG's KO2 all terrain , that size is only 32.5"
Lifted but still low ground clearance.
Sub frame lift means the diffs remain down?
Retains original geometry. Drives like it did without being lifted👍
@@cotrails8356 I mean the ground clearance. Does everything gets lifted by 2” ( in case of sub frame lift) or do some parts hang where they are?
@@tejitejinder The combined body and chassis (unibody) are raised, Subframes stay as per stock
@@newdefendermods If we go ahead and import this into India, what about installation?
@@tejitejinder Hi, please contact us via email or instagram please
Price on that lift is rather on the steep side, for what it is set of spacers. 2in = $5,250.00, 4in = $7,250.00 and 6in = $10.250.00...😲 and then lift rods, Calipers and rims. With installation that is going to be $20k on conservative side, for 6in kit.
When you see whats in the 6inch kit, its cheap, lifting anything 6inch and doing it right so it drives like stock is very very hard.
@@newdefendermods Not 20k+ hard.
@@zelenizub2036 Haha no idea where you got 10k install from 1.5-2days max, the kits are priced right and they are worth every penny
@@zelenizub2036 Agreed no idea where 20k came from 🤣
Actually, it looks really stiff. The lack of articulation (no solid axles) really shows. Obviously the massive wheels make up for it .
Check out latest build on 37’s. Solved alot of this. These are very similar to New Bronco and 4Runner in flex
I thought the new defenders suspension could not be modified
Jay Austin Fabrications offers several different subframe lifts. Trimming necessary to fit 35’s...
Could you please add the details of the changes,

@@cotrails8356 thx I get it now
CRUNCH 4:13
Doesnt that void the warranty....
Yes. Any modifications void any resulting failure due to the aftermarket parts/ modification. This is consistent with all brands. A radio issue would be covers, a suspension component likely would not be. Up to interpretation by your local dealer...
This just needs to be factory option at purchase, come on JLR. That you’re having to do this all yourself is silly. Commendable, but silly.
The worst part of offroading to me is any kind of side hilling. No matter how small I feel like I'm gonna roll
My only thoughts was that this 35s build made air suspension absolutely useless on the road.
Ride quality is identical onroad with the subframe lift.
Is it just me or does it seem like the suspension is really stiff.
Yes. Our latest build is on 5” subframe and no rear swaybar with 37’s. Much better setup for sure!
Still wouldn’t stand a chance against a AEV Prospector (Ram cummins with 40”)
Too bad the ram can’t fit down trails
@@Ww8.3 Lmao the Ram is just 13 millimetres wider than the defender, you’re not proving a single point 😂👍
@@burgundycommander7589 every millimeter counts
@@Ww8.3 lol, yea yeah dude, maybe look on a ruler and look how small one cm is. And the body of a Ram isn’t as fragile as that of a defender, still easier and cheaper to repair, let’s not forget that you have a bulletproof Cummins diesel powering that thing.
It’s just a superior overland/off-roader. Can’t argue about that
The Ram is very capable for sure! It might need an Austin Powers 60 point turn on the trails we run. Lots of great rigs out there these days!!!
