It’s no secret, the Landie is an icon in the off-road world, with the Defender the jewel in the car maker’s crown.
The Land Rover Defender 90 (1990-2016) often crops up when discussing the best off-roaders of all time, with its character, undeniable style, off-road brilliance and workhorse tendencies just some of the features applauded. But, did you know, you could make the Defender 90 even better suited to off-road life with the following upgrades?
Terrain Tamer Suspension Kit
As one of the best suspension lift kits for the Land Rover Defender 90, this Terrain Tamer Suspension Kit offers a fully integrated, high-end solution that won’t let you down – even when taking on some of the world’s most challenging terrains!
By trading your OE system for a complete custom package, you can tailor your suspension to your unique requirements. The kit provides everything you need for a full upgrade, including coil springs, expanded body shock absorbers, shock absorber/strut bushes, and steering damper.
N4 Fuel Tank Bash Guard
A key part of our underbody protection range, the N4 Fuel Tank Bash Guard safeguards a very important component to ensure your off-road adventure can go ahead without a hitch.
Protect your fuel tank with this premium underbody upgrade, which puts 6mm of high-grade alloy between you and the trail. Aluminium is the material of choice here, and for good reason, as Gem Five explains:
“Bash plates are typically made from two primary materials: steel and aluminium. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages… Aluminium bash plates are lightweight and resist corrosion, making them a popular choice for many off-roaders. They offer adequate protection for most off-road situations and have the advantage of not adding significant weight to your vehicle.”
N4 Transfer Box Bash Guard
Protect another vital component located on your Defender’s underside. The transfer box is of course part of your 4WD system, and takes in power from the transmission before relaying it to the front and rear axles of your vehicle, so needless to say, it has an important part to play.
Make sure it’s shielded from damage by fitting the durable yet lightweight N4 Skid Plate Underbody Protection Transfer Box Bash Guard.
KAM Hardened Axle Shafts
Looking for heavy duty hardened shafts for your Defender 90? KAM Hardened Axle Shafts use high-grade steel to ensure a specially engineered product that can be used with ease both on and off the road.
OE axle shafts are after all only intended for light use, not the serious off-roading you might have planned. Upgrade your axle shafts to this robust aftermarket alternative, and prevent premature failure or costly repair even after repeated heavy use.
Britpart Expedition Roof Rack
Wherever your off-road excursion takes you, you’re going to need to stock up on gear and supplies. Give your Land Rover Defender more space to play with by fitting the Britpart Expedition Roof Rack. This vehicle-specific flat rack kit is perfect for use on the road or off, with the option to mount a roof top tent and transport heavy, awkwardly shaped camping equipment making it particularly versatile.
With a high quality aluminium alloy construction and powder coated finish, this UK-made roof rack is built to last, and attaches easily to your Defender’s gutters to ensure a strong, simple to fit, low profile storage solution.
