Just picked up a 2019 Defender Max HD8. It came from a rental place selling off machines at the end of the season. Needs some TLC and some mods. Pretty basic. Been looking at DIY roof options as I don't have the money to spend on the nice stuff. Just wondering what other mods are recommended to get started.

So much smoother than the stock Bighorn tires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of my budget, so I'm researching DIY options now. by brother has a 2018 HD8 max. He made one out of black ABS plastic and u-bolted it on.

I will need tires as some point in the near future...another cost I don't have money for, but might try to go slightly bigger than stock just to help with clearance while loading and unloading. I'm currently scraping on the back edge of the trailer. I've been researching 2" lift brackets, but some say wheel spacers are needed in the back to keep the springs from rubbing on tires when compressed. I just read today that tightening the springs on the shocks can lift a little. Not sure what the best course of action would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to ask me about mods/ add ons...... I've gone a bit CRAZY!!! But Bear is the envy of many on the trails... Depending on your desires for your new ride, there an INFINITE amount of add ons.... But a nice set of wheels/tires makes a pretty good start. Maybe even a short lift to accommodate say a 31"×10.5"×14" and LIGHTS!!! It's nice to SEE!!! MOST OF ALL??? BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
