have you fitted that to a defender? was it easy enough to do ?

nope but my dad got me some thin ribbed rubber matting from work & we've put that down & it works so well, clean mud etc off just with a wire brush even if its wet mud, its so easy ! sure you must be able to buy it from somewhere

You will be over weight with a 950kg trailer & a decent size horse for a freelander. I was seriously warned off them for towing my trailer I know someone who towed with 1 & it struggled with a 14.2 with decent hills etc hence why in the end i bought my defender as it can pull an elephant ...

See its perfect elbow room for my rediculously short arms ! i've always had trouble with not being able to reach :rolleyes: I agree i've bought my 1st defender from having a "regular car" & its thrown up a few random things already but i love it ! so fun to drive & tbh i dont find it terrible...
