Like your "after action" debreif on both rigs. A little different than the usual "canned" reviews on products.
Did a mini demo ride this past weekend in the 6x6.
Have to agree on the steering input feed to reply ratio. A little better ratio would be nice. Turning radius was pretty good for a big machine. But really turns up the ground in a tight turn with the rear locked axles. No turning on the lawn please.
Engine breaking on hills could be more aggressive for my needs.
I talked with the dealer I was at about snorkeling this rig. Very dusty where I would be using this. When it's not, it gets pretty muddy. Very doable using MXR parts. A little tweaking required to make it work with a headache rack though. Glass rear panel not recommended, as drilling required to secure snorkels.
A lot of improvements here and there still needed to satisfy my requirements, but a pretty darn good machine.
New exhaust is pretty quiet. Nice, like it. Easier to remove. And stainless too. Less ugly rust.
Very easy to work on. Lots of access around major components.
Parking brake would of been nice too. I tend to park in weird inclined areas doing trail work.
Easy fix for me as I've made four parking brakes so far, but still, a factory system is nice.
Clutching seemed very smooth. Engaged at a low rpm. Great for creeping along without the herky jerky.
The bed size is great. Love it. Removable sides, glad for the option. Probably won't use it. But it's there. So, maybe.
Anyway. Great round up review.
Thank you.

Either these machines are huge or you are short? I can't wait to see this machine in person.

I drive defenders on a daily basis. The one thing I don't like is that they clunk when you left off the gas and come to a stop then get on it, it clunks. The clunk is from the secondary. On the 2020s they changed the helix in the secondary. Did you notice a clunk when you took off from a stop?

Can HARD FULL DOORS be added on the 6x6 the reason I ask is I see them for the 4x4 but nothing for the 6x6

The one issue with the 6x6 is the lack of a turf mode. Like all they'd need to do is make the rears electronic lockers. I get it would require 3 but still. The pro or normal one for me, that 6x6 is just a hunting toy
