Since its release in 2019, the New Defender 110 has transformed the off-road landscape, redefining what modern capability and versatility look like for adventurous drivers everywhere. If you're a proud owner of a Defender 110, it's likely that you've explored adding quality after-market products to your vehicle to take this formidable model to the next level. The search ends here - in this blog, we talk you through the ultimate 5 [in no particular order!] modifications essential for any serious New Defender.
Underbody Armor
Designed to integrate seamlessly with TuffAnt RockSliders, this undercarriage protection system defends key components like the engine, gearbox, and factory fuel tanks. Constructed from 5mm Aircraft Aluminium, the three-piece design balances strength and weight, ensuring your Defender 110 remains agile across rugged terrain. TuffAnt also offers a two-piece option specifically tailored for the current (as of 2024) Long Ranger Defender fuel tanks, accommodating extended range without compromising on protection. If you’re looking for all-around underbody coverage that pairs perfectly with TuffAnt RockSliders, this is a must-have upgrade.
Antenna Mount
If you’re looking to run an antenna on your New Defender but prefer to avoid drilling holes (or installing a bullbar), TuffAnt has you covered. Crafted from 5mm stainless steel, this mount is tougher and lighter than ever before. Version 2 features offset improvements for better passenger visibility and an expanded mounting area to accommodate larger aerials—no drilling necessary. Plus, you’ll score free shipping anywhere in Australia. If a sturdy, hassle-free antenna solution tops your list of essential mods, this is the one to grab.
Rear Tray
Ready to maximise both storage and power connectivity? The TuffAnt Rear Tray is custom-built for the New Defender 110 (5-seater) to replace the underfloor foam, unlocking extra space while keeping your ride organized. Made from durable, powder-coated aluminium, it offers two 50-amp Anderson plug cut-outs plus pass-throughs for 120- and 175-amp connectors—giving you the freedom to run additional batteries, DC-to-DC chargers, compressors, or any other 12-volt accessories you need. If flexible, streamlined storage is your priority, this tray makes a brilliant addition to your Defender setup.
RockSliders
A standard 4WD might settle for ordinary sliders, but your New Defender 110 or 130 deserves the elevated protection and style of TuffAnt RockSliders. Boasting a broad, 300mm sliding surface—including coverage for your air tank—these sliders are built to withstand hefty lateral impacts. Reinforced bracing supports bottle-jack use at any point along the slider, while integrated drainage prevents mud and sand buildup. They even accommodate factory mudflaps, if that’s your preference. Add in a practical step that lets you stand anywhere on the side of the vehicle, and you have a next-level blend of form and function that lives up to the TuffAnt name.
Bullbar
Engineered to handle the toughest off-road conditions, the TuffAnt Bullbar for the New Defender combines strength, functionality, and style in a fully integrated design. Crafted from powder-coated steel, it follows the Defender’s contours to maintain optimal airflow and a clean, modern appearance. Durable aircraft-grade aluminium bash plates provide lightweight yet robust protection, while the reinforced front hoop brace and integrated mid bar defend against animal strikes and debris.
For added convenience, you’ll find front mounting points for antennas or sand flags, a removable slot for an optional Stedi light bar, and built-in compatibility with OEM sensors and cameras. A fold-up number plate grants quick access to the winch and fairlead hook, and with winch compatibility (specifically designed for a Carbon 12k Winch), it’s ADR-compliant and ready for serious 4x4 expeditions. Despite its formidable 71kg mass (plus an extra 25kg for the winch and tray), the TuffAnt Bullbar is thoughtfully engineered to provide unrivaled defense without compromising performance.
