New to forum thought I'd post my defender progress. Its dirty, it gets used often.
Purchased new with the Can-Am 0% offer they were running earlier this year. It is the base model so no DPS or extra add-ons. I did get them to through in the roof as part of the deal and worked out a discounted extended warranty. Below is a list of mods that I've done so far. I rode it for a while mostly stock, but down here in Florida deep water is a big concern.
RAM powered dash mount for Garmin GPS (All ready had the mount from another project) Extra nice riding a night with GPS!
Auxiliary pod LED lights tucked into recessed roof pockets - wired to auxiliary light switch
2" Bracket Lift
Highlifter Snorkel Kit - This kit is actually for the earlier model years so it took some creativity to make them fit but they are water tight and work well. I also love how they are hidden behind the rear passenger headrests. The factory XMR snorkel kit is so expensive and it obstructs the rear view when backing up.
Can Am Maverick take off wheels and tires 30x10.5-4 on all four corners - Love the 30" tires! Will probably replace tires with 30x9-14 once these bighorns wear out!
Can-Am bumper - modified for winch mount
4500lb winch w/ wired and wireless controllers.
Ordered - 1" wheel spacers for rear to bring the reduced offset wheels back to stock offset.
Attached some pictures for reference. I love the extra ground clearance and the peace of mind that I can survive deeper water should I accidentally find myself in "over my head".
