New Mexico BDR 2024 EP 1
For Spring Break 2024, we headed out to the New Mexico BDR with our 2021 Defender 110. We had two other rigs with us, a JKUR and a JTR. We saw dry, muddy, and snowy conditions with some challenges along the way for sure, and a lot of amazing scenery.

ARB Awning & Awning Room Review
Переглядів 4,2 тис.6 місяців тому
Part of our Short Reviews, in this video we do a short review on the ARB Awning and Awning room. This is the 2500x2500 or 8.2' version. We do a Timelapse of putting it up and I cover our build out inside. It gets 5 stars for sure, with the only issue we've had was a failed LED strip in awning itself that ARB warrantied no questions asked.
2023 Moab Overland Journey - Final Episode
Переглядів 2916 місяців тому
In the final episode we mostly just chatter on about what we liked and didn't like about the set up, the trip as a whole and some of our fav moments. It's a short one as we only had about 20 miles to pavement and it was a pretty quick pace, but worth the watch to learn what worked for us that might work for y'all as well.

Thanks for sharing this, really helpful as I'm taking mine up there in a few weeks. Only thing I'm worried about are the classic mudflaps I have installed, they have some flex to them but could still be ripped off taking the trim with them. Nice work making it through unscathed.
Love the video, I’m a bit late to the party.. Did you air down the tires prior to the run? If so to what? Thanks!
Cool! I have a built JT on fox 3.0's & 40's, did this trail a bit ago. Looking at getting a defender for the wife & for really long trips. The JT was harder to get into 4 high or low new, but it gets a little better. You should be rolling slow and pull straight down for 4 high, goes in easy. Then 4 low, just be in neutral to shift to it.
Wow. Made it look easy
Awesome video ! hey can you tell me how you mounted the rotopax and mud boards on your spare tire?
Very cool!
Just bought one. Would love to know what tie downs you are using and where you got those bags that hold your tie downs rather than stakes. Thank you.
Thanks for checking out the video. The tie downs are "Quick tie-downs" and the stakes and stake bag are from Ground Grabba
4 door is not for Off-road 😮
It would seem they are, tho. Take a look at the Overland Trips we have taken and you'll see plenty of off-road worthiness in the Defender and our Boreas trailer.
The only thing the defender can’t go past is the dealers hoist , mine has spent 2 months out of 12 there and is still there with turbo problems The worst most unreliable car I’ve ever owned and the lemon fight continues
sorry to hear this. we have not had any serious issues
Nice to see the capabilities of these vehicles. I’ve previously had the LR3, now a Puma defender, but seriously looking at one of these 👍great video
Thanks a bunch. We appreciate the support
Cool awning. Is it possible to unzip the floor?
yes. we leave it attached because it's easier to store that way
Your new LED light won’t work either. I had a total of three and found out the plug is wired incorrectly. Your existing one works just try different configuration of the plug from led light to controller.
The original LED strip worked for nearly a year. We installed the replacement and it worked fine our whole trip.
Just started watching your videos. Great content as I’m looking into switching from my JLU. Curious what tires/wheels you’re running and if you had to mod in anyway to avoid rubbing on inner fender wells? Thanks in advance
Thanks for checking us out. Hopefully, you've subscribed to the channel. We have the factory 20" wheels with 265 60 20 BFG KO2 tires. We initially did not choose to lift it as it only rubbed in access height, but then we took it on some trails and found it rubbed a little bit when flexed. I then decided to run a 1" lift rod from Proud Rhino that we purchased from Lucky 8. Over all, we are very happy with the Defender coming from our previous rig, a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon on 37s.
Appreciate your feedback and yes I subscribed. I look forward in watching future content. Was the one inch lift rod a difficult install?
@@patrickdougherty2171 not at all
Is there a way to secure the opening around the trailer side? Looks like it is open and would allow wind/rain to enter. Thanks for sharing.
yes. That side does zip shut for inclement weather and it is possible to do that while inside the trailer.
I meant the material of the awning room
it's treated. the water beads but if you let it sit it will soak through
is the material water proof?
it's treated. the water beads but if you let it sit it will soak through
Thanks@@wanderlustoverland
Nice! How is it in heavy winds?
ARB says it’ll do 100 mile an hour winds. I wouldn’t trust that however we have seen 60+ miles an hour and it’s been fine. It flaps a little bit against the trailer. Other than that not a big deal.
Very nice 👍 Is the exterior colour Eiger Grey and is it wrapped ? what is your thoughts about the integrated compressor from LR compared to ARB ? thanks heaps ...
Yes, it is Ira Gray with the factory, Matt PPF
A good driver can a take a mediocre vehicle and make it work. A bad driver can take a good vehicle and make it fail.
what maxtrax mount is that on the spare tire ?
it's sort of a home made job bolted to the Rock Slide Spare Tire mount
Is the floor area big enough for a full size cot?
Yours can conquer this without rear lock?! 😂
Correct. We do not have the rear locker option
Nice! ARe you running the stock tire size? We're going to try some trails in Moab on our way back from Central America. I'm running 275/60r20s in a 10 ply, which are just over 33".
We had 265's at the time of this video = 32.6" tire BFG KO2 Load Range C. Hope this is helpful
Is it safe to sleep in there?
100% I know of a few folks that only have this awning and awning room and they put cots in there and use it like a tent.
Is there a reason your propane tank is outside the shelter? Because I was planning on keeping mine inside to keep it out of the weather but it hasn't occurred to me there could be a good reason to not do that. Does the tank need to be kept dry? Because that was my concern. I thought any fumes would dissipate but now I'm thinking about the video I saw about a tank blowing up in somebody's yard. It was a doorbell camera recording and it left an impression 😳
the only real reason is because we wanted the propane tank as far away from the open flame as possible.
Still not adding extra protection i see… 😂
We did add rock sliders from Proud Rhino. This video was actually the inspiration for adding them.
Truck? That thing isn’t body on frame lol
yeah, I have a bad habit of calling all my rigs, "trucks"
@@wanderlustoverland I’m just giving you a hard time
Awesome journey. Thanxz for sharing wonderful sceneries and I quite appreciate the Defender's in cabin quietness it is well noticeable how quite the cabin remains despite its coping with undulated roads and towing a trailer. Glad that I'am one of your early subscribers and wish you guys keep uploading amazing contents like these. Love and best wishes for all for the New Year 2024 from here in Sri Lanka. CHEERS
Thanks so much. We appreciate the support. We have a couple of product reviews going up, one today and another later this month. We are also having Rock Sliders and a 1" lift installed later this week or early next week. After that we will go back to our local off-road park (Northwest OHV Park in Bridgeport) for some more technical trail videos to showcase the capability of the Defender. Then next month we will be taking a trip to MERUS Adventure Park for 2 days of off-road excursions and camping, which should be another great video. Again, really appreciate the support - From Texas, CHEERS!
Time to get Melody her own Rig and Channel haha btw nice work helping people while out on the Trails…
Great rig. How did you mount the Baja design S2 light bar behind the grille?
Thanks for your comment. We mounted the light bar to a pretty solid thick plastic cross member that supported the front of the automatic air flow flaps in the lower section of the grill. The rear of the light bar clears the flaps and does not interfere with air flow. Search for PowerfulUK New Defender Front Bumper removal for the video we used to disassemble the front end to gain access to the light bar mounting area.
Is that eiger grey or silicon silver paint
Eiger with the Satin PPF Wrap
I love my P400. Feels like the perfect engine for all this.
100% we also wanted to be able to tow our boat, so the P400 was the only option
Nearly Snicked the Rear Tyre on the Rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep. I'm really glad I got rid of the stock tires and upgraded to something more hefty for that very reason
You did the driving-fun ... Defender and your wife did the work 😂
🤣
great video... what camera was this shot on?
iPhone 13 Pro. I'll be doing a video on how we shoot what we shoot in the near future. Be sure to subscribe.
Dude... Let me know when your next trip is..... will bring my rivian and come with you...
When are you going to start the mods?
At this point I really only see a need for a short lift . It is primarily an Overlander so it works great as is.
Enjoy it and I hope to wheel with you in my Defender. Be out there after February of next year.
Looking forward to it
Hey guys, what wheels do you have on there? Greetings!
Thanks for your comment. These are the OEM 20” machined face wheels that we had powered coated in gloss black
Very cool, man! 👏 Which engine/horsepower did you go for? 🤔
Thanks for your comment. It has the P400
Nice scenery...too much yapping
😂
Thanks for sharing, fun to watch.
Thanks for watching. Please consider subscribing for more defender and overlanding content
Hey y’all great Camera work and Blah Bla Bla Blah!!!
😂😂😂
what's the exterior finish on this beautiful defender? silicon silver?
thanks for your comment. it is Eiger Gray with the OEM Matte PPF
@@wanderlustoverland…definitely looks like silicon silver…😂 great anyhow!
Hi great video. Just wanted to ask you how comfortable the Defender is for long distance and the range that you get. Thank you.😊
The Defender is very comfortable compared to our previous vehicles. We get a range of around 280 miles and that is towing the trailer. We do not take trips without the trailer so I can not comment on range without towing but obviously it would increase significantly. Please subscribe to the channel for more great videos and thanks in advance for the support.
@@wanderlustoverland thanks for he reply and reminding me to subscribe. I might get this but the reliability is the problem
@@xzstvr I wouldn't be concerned. Ours has 51k miles on it. We bought it used.. We have put 7k miles on it in 2 months and haven't had any drivetrain issues. Silly things have come up, like the key fob is very temperamental and the Wireless Apple CarPlay cuts in and out. Other than those simple issues, the vehicle hasn't left us stranded like the Land Rovers of the past.
Yup,,,lots of Haters,,,,just jealous I guess! The Defender is a very capable vehicle, comfortable and powerful. I know cause I own one myself and go offroad often! The best vehicle I have ever owned and for the price too! SoCalRover Club member! Cheers all and Happy Trails! P.S. what kind of setup do you have on the rear tire???? Like it!
We do a build walk around here where I talk about it, but it's called a Rock Slide Engineering EZ Mount ua-cam.com/video/DhjQ6SFU8TU/v-deo.htmlsi=_BSnjLFW4zqG9RXx
How do you find it while driving the Dusy Ershim trail? Oh wait, you can’t do that trail in this plastic fantastic metrosexual crossover. The original NAS D90 could. There’s no getting around that. You could have bought a Subaru and it would take you just as far off road.
@@escdefendernah the subie cvt would have exploded. 😅
Lot of haters out there..
Right?!
Joining now…
Is this 18” wheels?
the vehicle came with 22's - we switched to the 20" wheel as it does have the larger calipers for the P400 motor.
here is a link to the build video: ua-cam.com/video/DhjQ6SFU8TU/v-deo.htmlsi=GKfCiXe50GRCLZ1K
Great video. I need to go out there next time. I just joined Texas Rovers a couple months ago.
it's a great club. we are doing a local event on the 18th of Dec. check out their Facebook group
