Whichever one AeonRV installed. It’s a Pioneer but don’t remember the model name.

I mean, I wouldn't call what I wrote a review - just some early initial impressions that reinforce the obvious fact that this ain't gonna be doing the Rubicon. A review would focus on the absolutely amazing off-grid performance of the rig. With the total composites box and efficient mini split...

I picked up my AeonRV recently and have done some very mild offroading with it. I would be worried about the sheer size and weight of the thing (especially height vs width) well before I'm worried about AWD vs 4WD (unless it's super muddy or something like that). I have no delusions that this...

That’s a fantastic build!

Insisting might be a strong word - it’s all I’ve seen anyone building though.

I love the idea of the total composites boxes to get a much more efficient living space compared to a typical camper van - but everyone building with them insists on making 22-24 foot campers with dinettes and other extraneous stuff I don’t really want. I can’t find anyone building shorter...

I'm actually shocked to learn that the Kimberly does not have the plumbing run inside of a heated and insulated space - this is becoming more and more common in North American campers, with even companies like Winnebago offering models that have all of the plumbing protected from the cold...

I haven't checked this thread in ages, because it was overrun by New Defender haters arguing endlessly about stuff like tire sizes. And now, hundreds posts later, it's still the same crybabies beating the same dead horses. Some of you people need a hobby. Have you considered taking up some...

I looked in to shipping the bull bar from Australia. The shipping is over two thousand AU$, for a three thousand dollar kit. Ouch. I'd be super happy if some importer got a whole crate of them and could save on the shipping so we only have to pay a few hundred for the last leg of the journey...

One of these things is true, at least. This is your regular reminder that this guy is extremely biased due to his own rocky relationship with JLR, and he put out videos trashing the new Defender's capability before anybody had even driven it. Stop giving him legitimacy by sharing his clickbait...

This is the news thread - the rage/hate thread was shut down for a reason. Could all the trolls zip it for those of us who are following this thread for... you know, news?

For what it's worth, I don't think it's particularly likely that their mechanical issues were caused by ignoring the break-in procedure, but I do think it shows a level of irresponsibility on their part, and if there was something already wrong, I think it could have exacerbated it. It's also...

They posted a video where they took it off road at over 10k feet with a hundred miles on the odometer.

They did run it off road at over 10,000 feet elevation with less than a hundred miles on it. That's not exactly a normal break-in procedure. The only thing that makes this hypothesis seem unlikely to me is that if it were that simple you'd think they would have it figured out by now.

That's not how a subframe lift works. It takes all the suspension components and just moves them down. Your geometries and everything stay the same, their attachment points are just "extended" from the body, for lack of a better word.

the J Auston Fabrications lifts are subframe lifts, not just lift rods, so they seem much more like the real deal. My question is: does anyone know what they cost? When a company doesn’t list prices on their website I assume it means that whatever they are selling is way too expensive.

Um, what? Automatic access height is a standard feature on modern Land Rovers. Why in the world would they build an air suspension that cannot handle being lowered two or three times per day?

TFL is currently having problems with FIVE different vehicles - a Corvette, a Silverado, a Mini, a BMW, and a Tesla. They drove the Defender off road, at twelve thousand feet elevation, with less than a hundred miles on the odometer, completely ignoring the three thousand mile break-in period...

Please do! I subscribed to this thread because I want to be notified of news, seeing as how the title of the thread is "New Defender News" - not hear a bunch of keyboard warriors crying about how they are being oppressed.

The Defender is Motor Trend's 2021 SUV of the year. Which is kinda funny, because some of the Land Rover marketing people get kinda cranky when you call it an SUV. They want you to call it a 4x4. I call mine pretty much everything except a 4x4, which feels awkward to say. It's a car, a truck...
