Let’s start a poll/thread to talk about your favorite aftermarket additions you have added to your Defender after you purchased it.

This can be as simple as a phone holder, or as complex as a full wrap. I just want to lnow
how you made your Defender “better” for you.

 

I'll start:
- side steps - even though don't love the look of 'em helps with keeping crud off the side of the car and helpful for ingress/egress
- cubby storage organizer and lower center console organizer (on it's way)
- modern mud flaps - to be installed this weekend
- anti-glare hood decal - installed Monday
- expedition rack - back ordered

 

Nice! What hood decal Did you get?

 

Pic foul!

 

For me the first thing has to be AT tires. I’ll be switching out the Michelin Defenders for Nitto Ridgegrapplers. Then I want to add the roof rack and ladder next.

 

I'm going to have to cheat and pick two.

The tailgate table from Alimazon is fantastic. Gets a ton of use all year.

The OEM rear recovery eyes are a must and have saved my bacon. So glad I installed them.

 

…..still adding, changing, removing, swapping…….but I like the journey 🤷🏼‍♂️😂



ARB Awning and anti-glare bonnet decal

Alcantara steering wheel with flappy paddles

Powerful UK Roof rack mounting plates

Larger 11” screen with off road map capability.

Dashboard Molle Plate from SalTek Motorsport

Recovery boards on spare wheel.

 

Just stock one from LR. I like the longer one PUK has but dealer threw in stock one?

 

Here is my list, a few repeats listed here already and a few not.

-Side steps
-Anti-glare hood decal
-LED reverse lights. Much better than stock, really illuminates behind when backing.


-Dynamic sweep indicators. Looks so much better than the standard blink-blink-blink.


-Console cubby. Keeps small items close at hand instead of the deep reach needed to access the bottom of the console pocket.

 

I like this little shelf/box for the front of the console. At $20 on Amazon, seems like a no brainer. I did also get the other one for the cooler/center cubby box. I ended up taking it out, since you can't use the cooler if it is in and it is an absolute limpet to remove. Had to get out my selection of spudgers to pry it out. If it had some sort of place to grip it it may have been useful. Alas, it is kind of an either/or item. The other easily pops in and out, but it has seemed to become a permanent addition for me. You can, if need be, prop an iPhone in it and it is visible.
