This is great. I didn’t realize he had done a video on the new Defender. I love this guy’s “everyman” take on repairs/upgrades/commentary.

So I wonder what they mean by a 1" lift?
Are they actually talking about the fricken lift rods? Or are they talking about something more substantial?
For what it's worth, when Scott Brady looked at it and wrote the Expo article, he said 33" might be the upper end as more than that looked like it would have the tires rubbing on the back part of the front wheel wells.
Anticipating a larger tire would definitely require the higher spec motor option though... will be fun seeing cool combinations of motor, lift, wheels and tires assembled.
I'd like to think that 300 hp and peak 300 ft/lb torque at 1,500 rpm would be plenty of power to run a larger tire. But I guess I'll let others be the guinea pigs on that one.

You have to wait. No way in hell would I be an early adopter for a clean sheet LR design.
Give it two model years at least to see what blows up on them before jumping aboard the ship.
