Two cents here. Mis-spent a lot of my youth under a hopelessly broken Defender, trying to get it to live up to its fighting reputation. It's totally different from a VX. A VX was meant to handle on any surface, a Defender was meant to traverse any surface. If you can get a winch on the front, and then add some nudging blocks you'll have the full look and experince going on. The Defender is Hollywood legend, the VX is controversial. You can take it from here.
