It will be interesting to see what the “design” houses and professional “moders” come up with

looks good, I've been to a couple of the Defender events at local dealers and Sherwood pines.
What you don't see in many media shots is it in raised mode, it gives it a much better stance and a glimpse at the potential of mods in the future. It looked much better at raised height just needed bigger tyres. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE RR MY23 HSE PHEV D5 MY19 HSE - Now Sold D4 MY16 HSE Luxury - Now Sold D4 MY12 HSE - Gone D3 MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten |

Yup, it does raise a fair bit. It took me to get in it

May be useful in the Arctic. Otherwise pointless

38's are not pointless. 38's are about the bare minimum to tackle 8+/10 OnX trails.
That being said, my 37's (tire, wheel and beadlock ring) weight about 130lbs/59kg each. I'm not sure the halfshafts of the Defender could support that kind of rolling mass. 2022 Defender 110 SE P400 Tasman Blue Expedition and Cold weather package 2003 Hummer H1 P400 Firehouse Red 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser |

It's a little amusing to watch this conversation take place. Brits thinking huge tires are for show and Americans rattling off about ONX and some numbers.
Tad: ONX has no market penetration whatsoever in Europe so you might as well be talking Chinese, and Lightning: there are definitely people who use their 'rigs' so that tires that size are necessary. (an ozzie once told me a rig is a stud bull down under, so now every time someone speaks of their 'rig', my mental image is of a bull with an angry, red raging hard on )
This is how wars get started

The OnX trail ratings are the only borderline-objective way to quantify technical difficulty of offroad trails.
Apologies for not referencing something ubiquitously available. Here is the trail rating guide: https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/blog/a-gui...il-ratings Now that I look at it, trail rating 6 has obstacles up to 3' (almost a meter) tall. 38's would definitely help with that. 2022 Defender 110 SE P400 Tasman Blue Expedition and Cold weather package 2003 Hummer H1 P400 Firehouse Red 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser |

Happy to be proven wrong.
I guess it's good then, that someone is offering this modification so that larger off road wheels can be fitted. |
