New Defender XMR

[pfi572]

Put the 2021 Limited cab liner on fire wall and it’s worth the $180.00
Noise dropped a lot .
Part number if needed.

Did you contemplate switching out to 15” rims, get a little more clearance between the calliper and rim. Have an x3 that I may switch out

like to hear what you think

IMO
The stock 14’s have more then enough clearance.
12 inch ? Not so much .

Reason i ask is buddy blew a rim out on his machine, was suprised how grooved and beat the inside of the rim was’ had a look at mine and already getting scratched up pretty good. That 1/2” maybe make a difference. I going to buy a spare but maybe a complete set

Must have been a big rock or rocks as a lot of clearance .
Bigger rim bigger rocks and rougher ride ? Lol

Anyone here grease the wheel bearings on their defender yet?
I bought the little thing for doing it but here mixed reviews that too much grease will overheat the bearing?
Some say from the factory there is bugger all in them. Sounds like a bit of a pita to do.

Would never over heat the bearings. The speed that you run normally in these machines bet they’d never even get warm.

I might be interested. Do you remember the specs you had them built to? Can you PM me a pic of the paperwork with the specs and part numbers they sent with the shocks?

So my XMR sat lower in the back and asked different sources on the S3 springs and no one would give me a straight answer .
Bought the rear S3 HD springs and installed .
From before to after is just over 1.5 inch’s taller in the back verse stock set one notch higher on adjustment .
Ride is great .
Just FYI if anyone like me couldn’t find this out .

Stock spring is the right one

Did your XMR sit low in the back new or did it settle over time?

Bought it with 400 kms and sat that way .
Adjustment set at the highest front and back stock .
Now have the back set less with new coils .
