Defender Prep Check List

Below is the checklist I use for the Defender.  In addition, my serviceman is told to replace or repair anything he sees that needs repair or replacement.  I also take with my some spares for things that may go wrong on the trip. Also, this year, here are some of the things I replaced or added:

Repaired long-standing problem with Defender not starting after rain storm
Roof repaired, then replaced it after I did not like the repair
Added new battery
Replaced front brakes
Added front differential lock
Added back up camera
Added GPS
Added additional lights for camp at night and lightless off-road trails
Added new heated driver's seat
Added new bright headlights

Here's the check list:
