GB20

Hey guys got some good news on my end, shortly after I got my defender I started looking for tires The tires I wanted that were backorder for about 3 months just showed up! I just got them mounted on my stock rims. Took it for a 4-5 mile ride around town and no more rattle!! Tomorrow I'll get some more miles in it & update you all. Has anyone else changed tires and still have the rattle..vibe?

Dam.,I could go on also but I'm to friggin lazy to type that much lol Sooner or later I'll have to fix it myself, I just don't want to bug an axel if I need a driveshaft...nor do I want to remove the skid plate to remove the driveshaft...

I hear ya...mine has been back to the dealer...was told it was fixed..BS! I bought new so I wouldn't have to wrench for.....awhile. I'm thinking unbalanced driveshaft or axle...

Right frt? Mine is more on the left

Im still dealing with this also, we would have assumed someone had gotten to the fix. It's very annoying & surely gonna get worst over time...

Yeah...$215 for the lights is stiff, how much did you get them for? Any chance a link to the lights?

Very nice...I was wondering if you could buy an amber light for that reason. I can't open your pics on my ph? Was it hard to switch out the LEDs?

I've got the same problem on my 2020 XT1000

He said...he changed carrier bearings...

Well got mine back, dealer dropped it off at my house @ 1am in the morning! Not happy it still makes the noise!... I tried...

I had also read I think one guy said it was the pinion preload, bearing something about issues with the way the diffs were assembled.. incorrectly? I did gear changes on jeeps & trucks for years...so I do have a clue. Anything not right in the diff will bite you soon

Not really...dealer still has it. He said he ordered carrier bearings for it which I'm assuming for the frt diff. Needless to say I'm not happy! I've also got an issue with the motor surging...which their trying to tell me is normal BS!

Stay tuned here....mine is back at the dealer now. I hope to hear from them by end of this week.

Looks good! What type of use will it get? You could free up some space by putting that Mustang in my garage....

Sorry for your loss, hope things get better for you.

Have a look here https://www.can-amforum.com/threads/defender-vibration.135847/#post-1213932 This was also just posted, surly something to consider..

It maybe a few days on mine, I haven't discussed this issue with the dealer yet. I do have a few other issues also. He had said he would pick it up & drop it back off to me 2.5 hours each way.... With that said no clue when he can pick it up yet? Please keep us posted, I will also...Thanks!

I'm assuming you have the same noise? Come to find out my dealer is closed on Mondays also..I'm in IL, dealer is across the river in Iowa...

It was a 20 amp fuse...now that you mention it, does seem like a lean surge.. sometimes it will also pop...like a small back fire when getting off the throttle..which reminds me of a lean fuel condition? Stay tuned, when I find out I'll definitely post the dealers findings. Thanks again

Thanks...your response is appreciated! When I bought it, all I did was drive it across the parking lot over to my trailer. When I got it home after a few miles I noticed it would not shift into 4W & none of the rocker switch's were lite up. Come to find out it had blown fuse, replaced the fuse....but it has acted funny ever since I brought it home..not good. Also realized my dealer is closed today which is 2.5 hours away. Anyway is there away I can pull the codes? Thanks again!

My 2020 1000XT also has one.

It is at all speeds...it will kinda... smooth out at higher speeds. Sometimes I feel like a bobblehead just cruising down the road... For the most part RPMs stay fairly consistent, really hard to say for sure while trying to keep my foot steady along with h the surging going on. And apparently my 3 mode switch does not seem to work! When changing modes I feel nor hear any difference in power or performance...I'm well aware of the clutch engagement & shifting, I've had about 10 belt driven toys...No chance I have smoked the belt either...it's been all road use with easy going. Thanks for your concern! This is driving me nuts!

New 2020 1000XT this thing constantly surge's, at higher speeds it kinda smooths out but it's still there. Thing is I don't run at higher speeds so this is very annoying! Anyone else have this issue?
