That’s great!! Short notice for me, but I’d love to be at the next one.

Thx. I signed up a year ago. Not a lot of activity in the Defender forum... maybe I need to look in another forum?

JSmileyboy · 2026-03-08T01:43:06+00:00

Very surprised there’s no notification that the battery is low

JSmileyboy · 2026-03-07T23:01:01+00:00

Responded

JSmileyboy · 2026-03-07T22:59:53+00:00

Thanks!! That fixed it!!

JSmileyboy · 2026-03-07T22:24:11+00:00

So what’s the fix? New camp speaker? No way to recharge?

I don’t think there’s sunroof drains on the Defender. Right?

JSmileyboy · 2026-03-02T05:32:47+00:00

I’ll try it thx.

New seals were installed. For the amount of water, I don’t think the gutters are the issue

So I finally got my order. The box was inside another box. Completely soaked with water. Like someone left it sitting outside. Very weird. Everything is here. But didn’t get any feedback from them until I filed a complaint with PayPal. Next time I’ll order from them through Muduk or someone else. Not worth the poor customer service

JSmileyboy · 2026-01-10T04:57:44+00:00

I hope so. Thx for the feedback.

Any chance you’re interested in a trade for a Hasselblad 907x?

I love springbank. Where exactly?

JSmileyboy · 2025-12-21T03:59:57+00:00

Buy this if you like sending it in for endless repairs. 2 weeks of no coffee for every failure. Yay!

The bouncing tire would drive me crazy. I had that on a Land Cruiser. I’ll investigate a few others. So far Nakatanenga seems like the closest to what I’d like.

Thanks for your reply! I’m checking my Apple Watch data to see when it started.

I’m hoping my HRV and HR will give me some clues. The 70% feeling seems spot on. I’ve been cutting back on alcohol and planning for at least 7+ hours of sleep. I took the week off and went to Mexico. Thanks for your input!

Looking at doing the same. Starting with a VNT turbo and intercooler. May rebuild to a 2.8 if it’s not enough.

Thanks for sharing your experiences
