NEW DEFENDER USW
Once you get your new vehicle home, not only can you modify it to your personal choice, you also get to post a topic in the MY DEFENDER list!!!

Have had the KESWICK GREEN 110 USW for exactly 1 week, done 565 miles and done the first full tank and got 25.8 miles to the gallon - not bad - better than my D3 that does about 22 to the gallon.

Had 1/2 ton animal feed in the back, towed 6 big bales of straw, got it dirty and scratched it!!!

The modifications so far

Tow bar, rear military bumperettes, front WOLF BUMPER with tow pintle.

Front light guards

Fully undersealed with WURTH underseal.

Seat covers and made some internal floor mats.

Blaupunkt Bluetooth radio/CD with speakers fitted.

I took the black headlight surrounds off cos I don't really like them but unfortunately LR have cut holes for the horn etc so the surrounds may have to go back on - unless I can hide/ seal then up.

Done some more miles and carried out some more modifications

Military Spec rear springs as used on WOLF DEFENDER

Before fitting rear springs

After rear springs changed.

I have used these springs purely for a load carrying spring - they will allow an unbelievable load carrying capacity before they cause the vehicle to lower at the back.

Next mod has been the HD early WOLF rims, freshly powder coated white and fitted with BFG Mud terrain 285/85/16

Car is running really well, just done 1200 miles and 3 tank fulls - next mods hopefully a RAI and steering guard.
