| Davies defender build
Here we go! I was commissioned by Davie to build a roof rack and a front bumper for his hard body defender. Heres what I got finished this morning.. Sub rack.. Heres the pieces... Windshield frame mount.. side bars, a little different than the 1:1 but I think they look pretty cool!! here it is all ready for the cross supports.. And as far as I have gotten so far! |

Sucks, needs to be thrown away in a garbage can near my house, lol. As a Jeep man I am no Defender liker. Have seen them wheel though and they are though. Your cage is the best one I have ever seen made for a scaler. Same goes for your bumper. I would almost buy a real Defender for a setup like that, almost. |

Im really into defenders as well as jeeps. I own a jeep due to the price of defenders in the states! Otherwise I would own a defender!!!! |

Looking good! I need to do this to mine. The rack is so sweet! Is the bumper just square stock?
