Going to try and keep all 6 wheels down, water lower than the floor boards. The pail is reference to show ground clearance.
Dam! New tires (larger diam.), hard cab, new grill and winch (synthetic rope), and a "bit" of a lift?? That thing is looking pretty badazz !!
Here is the Polaris 6x6 with 2 moose and camp for 6. It’s only supposed to haul 1,200 or 1,500 pounds. The Defender has a way heavier suspension.
