What is the Single, Simple Change You'd Like to See on Defender?
#141
Good thread! Love my defender - but sure do wish it had the following:
-passenger door lock/unlock button
-aluminum skid plates for the fuel tank
-rear floor mounted cup holders/slide out cup holders
-base model gets rear seat back pockets and center armrest (baffling that a 50k car doesn’t have this)
-more wheel travel for coil sprung models, also an extra 1.5” of height (Land Rover should assume folks that get coils aren’t being cheap, we actually want to go off road). Along those lines, a Sasquatch/Rubicon like package with real tires and aluminum sliders - because people are actually cross shopping the Wrangler and Bronco with the Defender.
-exposed front recovery hook
-thicker windshield
-OEM bull bar option for the US
-charge way less for painting the roof a different color

you can retrofit an interior door button tailgate release. I did with a simple l494 tailgate button and a harness powerful uk sells to do it. Go to powerful uks YouTube channel you can do it easily. I think they sell kits now.
it releases the tailgate from the inside regardless if the truck is running locked unlocked armed etc, the button pops the door open.

I will add my 2 cents: A way to open the tail door from the inside, i.e. a handle, I know one could use the Smart Key, but I am thinking of a situation such as sleeping and the need to get out through the back feet first and without having to fumble around for the key fob.
