WE BUILT THE LOWEST DEFENDER

[@minitrundle]

End of the day, the Defender is a very customisable vehicle and if this owner wants it that way, then who are we to turn our noses up. It just shows what can be done. And if in a years time he doesn't like it. Putting some taller springs back on it isn't difficult. I think it looks smart and will still turn heads.

[@AndyMacinnes1]

I think you just nailed it. It can always be reversed and there are a lot of companys turning them into Chelsea Tractors. Even Land Rover are doing it with the new one. ( Controversial) :D

[@hammyh1165]

I do like the light bar , very neat installation. Lowered Defender is not for me , but I do like it.

[@jerrygreene7139]

I like the look. One suggestion, if the idea is sleek and fast maybe go with a non-AT tire. One of the road tires that are on the new Defenders or Range Rovers might look even better. Pirelli Zero All Season maybe. Great work as always!

[@michaelusher3846]

Great job. Please post the link for the light bar.

[@juicemotors]

It’ll be on our website soon!

[@CharlesRevis1]

That looks sick, id go for smaller tyres personally then it’d retain some of the original proportions a bit maybe

[@ps3shakes123]

I thought that too. You can gain some room the easy way.

[@llwydanwyl]

sick lol are you 14?

[@paynes_motors8364]

That light bar is something special wow 🙌

[@davidjohnson5369]

love it , and im sure the owner who wants their defender lowering will love it to ! great job Sam

[@benelliott3168]

Have isolators on my 90 + fox. Found they really take off the small vibrations no end. JLR had them on Discos, classic JLR to not bother putting them on the late Defenders.

[@leeabbott5101]

Brilliant job.....this should be your "track day" defender package...

[@jOrDaNB592xXx]

Absolutely love this, would love a set of 2” lowering springs I’ve got 1” lower but feel it’s not enough This looks mega but I would need a little more travel and don’t fancy modifying too much like bump stops etc Top work as usual guys 👌

[@smuy3782]

I will never understand why anyone would want to lower a Defender. If you want something that handles better then buy something that handles better. Defenders are great and I love mine but there is nothing you can do to it that would make it handle anything other than dog shit.

[@juicemotors]

But what if you want your Defender to handle better?

[@smuy3782]

@@juicemotors it would be like wanting your rotten fish to taste better by sprinkling sugar on it.. While it might handle slightly better, it is still far from a good handling car and you have just ruined what it is actually good at. Worst of both worlds IMO.

[@transitpassenger3948]

I completely agree!

[@mohamedismail1691]

I’m all for the big lifted defenders, but oh my word this is something else 😍 it looks absolutely mental!! The drop just works.

[@bradb726]

What tyre size are you running on the bowler wheels ? Looking to something similar 💛

[@wimdebie6584]

Looking great, love the lightbar.. Forget the haters

[@DarrLaw]

Not for me personally, but I love the attention to detail and innovation on the build!

[@fence4821]

Black Panel Van!! Where did you get that idea!??? Lol guys! That honestly looks super dope!! Unreal! Great job!! Love it

[@davidcalkins8087]

Looks great and I agree with Jerry's comment below on tire selection

[@jacobstein7179]

Please guys, have the customer come back and fit rear dislocation cones. Obviously not needed immediately, but the spring can lodge itself crooked and even force the tire off the bead. Or better yet, just get shorter shocks and put those nice shocks on something else. As for the isolators, you will find them on D1/D2s here in the US. Not sure if they're on D1s over there, considering you guys haven't run into them? Those Bearmach isolators are actually OEM replicas by the way, at least for the rear. The fronts are a bit different.

[@paulmurphy454]

Re-name it Road Rover or R ad Rover and fit wider tyres and flares, that would be a show car! Keep up the great work

[@pyro_y0]

I fitted -2.5s to mine about 8 years ago. Has a habit of catching the wheels in the arches on flex, and I fitted dislocation comes in the rear to help. Looks cool AF though 👍

[@nozzatron]

Where have you gone buddy? We’re hyped for that new build 😄

[@mattmartin6007]

Love this, just works for the setup of the car with the Bowler kit, again showing how versatile the Defender is to making it your own. Looks classy and planted but if in the future you want it to look mean and with more presence replace springs and boom back to another look - another quality video along with quality work - keep them coming

[@juicemotors]

I love Defenders for their versatility in design - I’ve chosen one car to modify and you bet I’m going to try all the flavours out there! Thanks for your support!

[@WhiskyJackR]

Interesting exercise. It does look too low now though. I think once you have to start cutting bits off it should be a signal that you may have perhaps gone a little too far 😂

[@diegoazofeifafonseca1585]

amazing springs change the car looks so darn good! very nice look and seems to all functional well done! keep it up Juice as always, a very job and video Ocean 😍 and its son?? Lovely!!! 💙💙

[@mueenhammad4872]

We need a video of how to install air locker for Land Rover Defender

[@juicemotors]

We’ll be adding one to old red!

[@benjaminengland2663]

I am a die hard landy lover and yes they are off road vehicles but that is so cool I love it definitely thinking of doing something similar to mine 👌🏻 love what you guys do keep it up

[@NickAger68]

Love that approach, seriously thinking of doing this 👍🏻

[@deanmacarthur165]

I think this is perfect for those who daily drive their defender for a purely road bias. Me personally I use my puma 90 everyday for work, shopping and everyday life and would love to lower mine. Just because you have defender doesn't mean you have to off road them, just means you can drive in style

[@beupinthis]

Light bar for a city defender? ok. Whats next? Brush guards for supermarket trolley dents?

[@mikerenshaw7867]

All off road working vehicles are pickups these days anyway. It looks tashty mate!😍

[@mill125]

Light bar looks awsome very neat look to it not a fan of the lowered look but still a cracking job

[@tlotlomogomotsi7629]

Great build brother! Never mind the haters that's a work of art

[@ecweru]

Watching from Nairobi - Kenya. The Defender 90 looks 'Beastly-Beautiful'.👏👏👏👏

[@thefamilyrobbo]

I think I'd be considering variable rate springs to stiffen it before it bottoms out or maybe hydraulic bump stops. The other thing I wondered is whether the panhard rod would need shortening to keep the axle in line. Fun concept though and will no doubt surprise a few other drivers 😀

[@McGruff2008]

Looks good. Looks very sporty.

[@58HARRIS58]

Looks amazing! Do you know what wheels and sizes are fitted? Plucking up the courage to build a discoII and think they'd fit the bill

[@patrickmagee3904]

Good to see a disco in the shop 😉 great video, keep it up 👍

[@grahamwest1079]

Nice and easy to fit those springs compared to lifted springs so that's a positive. Each to his own but I'm with the lifted guys.

[@philbaker75]

All the same bowler gear as mine… that guy has taste

[@bushydoctor66]

Looks amazing. Probably wouldn’t work on a station wagon but as an all black van with all the bowler enhancements it’s sick. What was the final height floor to wheel arch?

[@hugobaert7737]

sweet. modding is a thing of personal gusto. I like all defenders :) myself I'm more for the old red kinda build....which im sure im not the only one looking forward to :)

[@272TM]

Fantastic work lads , nice content, but my ocd has kicked in them front brakes discs just need swapping around , grooves are spraying forward and not backwards but looking foward to future videos, and only request more videos 😄 👍👍all the best

[@mulimul]

Part number for the spring isolators also a link to the LED bar + mounting brackets 🙏 awesome video

[@markpiercy133]

Looks the dogs matey, I'd love my p38 to be used daily and lifted on the weekend for scragging through the crap. As capable as these landys are... What's wrong with being different 😎

[@simonkg6728]

I thinks it looks amazing, great work lads

[@lozastbury7279]

Spring isolators were standard fitment on defender from factory on rear springs

[@stevebrown8586]

Looks superb. I want it.

[@thestarsmith]

That 2.2 sounds lovely. Does it still have the DPF?

[@lewismackenzie8497]

For a road only vehichle this looks cool. Nice to be different.

[@tngu17]

looks amazing. would look better with fatter side wall tyres with white walls and some camber. Would give it that retro racer look. Great Stuff!!

[@andrewhoward7200]

Personally not too keen, but love the fact that Defenders can be so individualised-Top marks for that.

[@julianeatock3424]

All through the video I was thinking what a really awful idea this is, but I have to concede the end result does look totally amazing!

[@stevanstanley]

Looks fantastic its what's used for

[@Kjca_1998]

“He never uses it off-road” was the most depressing sentence Ive ever heard when talking about a defender.

[@leeralph723]

I think this looks great….would love to see this a step further with a notched chassis to see how this would drive and look

[@billmain3143]

Something different, looks good yet not too radical.

[@rlscustoms]

Love the look of course but having those springs hang loose like that when unloaded wouldn’t sit well with me personally, maybe try shorter dampers that would at least keep the springs preloaded. I would go with a more road inspired wheel/tyre package as well, let’s face it it’s no longer an off-road vehicle there’s no reason to have off-road tyres.

[@carlhobson1578]

All that matters is that the owner loves it!

[@khalfanalsuwaidi7244]

Hi nice build .. what is the tyre and wheels setup??

[@peteharper8796]

Wow mate that’s a really cool defender It’s something you definitely don’t see every day I like it

[@peterwall9896]

You can almost walk under my defender .... Lower it never 😍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jacobjoab3952]

Beautiful for the roadways.

[@noway3795]

Dear Sam, it would be of huge interest if you could modify the Defender by retro fitting airbags.

[@juicemotors]

I’m not sure on the legality side of this, pretty sure airbags require huge amounts of testing to make road safe and legal…

[@transitpassenger3948]

So it’s great done - the car is smooth in suspension, but what can he do off-road? It will be hard on him! I really liked the number black background and white letters on the black car! ) Above the windshield is not enough sun visor! ) As always, good work guys!

[@boelowildervanck2787]

Looks absolute fantastic, reminds me of my 130 on air suspension! What about the travel of the shocks, don't they move in the end of their inwards travel?

[@jmd7244]

Haters are gunna hate, looks awesome. Zero f*cks should be given.

[@marcmeier8588]

Heyy what is this for a full custome exhaust?? Im very intrested !!

[@ant8121]

Beautiful defender

[@big5astra]

Nice job but would not be for me. Slightly off topic, I have a 2003 discovery 2, TD5 and may need to replace the front crank pulley/harmonic balancer soon. Can you recommend a brand that does not break the bank but is of acceptable quality? (I'm in Australia but can of course order from anywhere) Thanks

[@TheSportPsychLab]

Where do you get custom defender lettering from? Like the letters that go on the bonnet?

[@nickthorpe5990]

I like it, bit of a strange mix. Lowered but off road wheels and tyres? Never used off road so will never use the light bar. I think it needs the full glass rear now.

[@jordanc07]

Can you supply these springs? Any idea on the tyre size? 285/60R18?

[@jerrygreene7139]

Sam, where are you? I need my Juice and puppy fix! I hope you are well and I look forward to your return!

[@olewurtz7625]

I like it and have considered it for my own Puma. I believe you just changed the springs and not the dampers. Typically when you change the ride height, you have to change the dampers to work optimally. Maybe that’s not needed when the dampers have a wider operating range than a sedan or sports car ? Can you reveal the price for the 4 springs ?

[@markgoff3142]

Can you tell us where you got the springs from please

[@johnshadbolt2914]

looks excellent

[@ducatistajp5214]

Quality mate.

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

What next a roof chop I think the tyres need changing but for looks it looks mean keep pushing the boundaries you produce some great looking and practical cars but there's always something else love it or hate it its all about moding great job

too low...no doubt
