Default RedBourne!

Wheels made it in! Unfortunately the manufacturer are sold out of the Alston and Morland in Black so got the Morland in Gloss BLK w/tinted machined spokes. It wasn't my first choice but after seeing it on it I'm pretty happy with them. Now just gotta get some different lugs, those silver ones stick out like a sore thumb to me! A fifth one is on the way for the back but it had to go on backorder.


i should have them finished and on in an hour

Looks good. Would not sweat the lugs - do not stand out bad.

Love the rims and tires. Might be my first upgrade.

Looks awesome, Adam!

I'm not changing my Defender order, after checking out the new Bronco details...

New Bronco looks very cool but I wouldn't choose it over my Defender. Bronco is aimed squarely at the Wrangler and I am sure it will do well but I never considered a Wrangler instead of the Defender. I wanted something a bit more finished on the inside that still had amazing off road capability. It'll be interesting to see how much over sticker the Ford dealers get for the new Bronco. If it's anything like the Raptor you could be looking at 15-20k over sticker.

We are all LR diehards here so I think it’s safe to say off topic that a Ford hit a homerun with the new a Bronco. I’m glad they have 5 models to choose from and I believe they did great with the design. The Bronco will range from $40’s to $50’s so they aren’t trying to compete with the $70+k Defender crowd. More so Jeep and 4Runner. Either way, it’s exciting that they did what they did and I think they will be a huge success. Can’t wait to see the 4 door Bronco next to a 110 just for comparison.

Yeah, they’re pretty cool. Probably about as good as you can do trying to stay true to a classic w a modern reboot. I’m a longtime LR geek, but I was open to considering it. Then I found the one I liked and it was $63k. 😂

Definitely a personality/style preference w LR vs Jeep vs Ford. Most of us probably aren’t too likely to cross over.

Stock 35s available on the Bronco kinda amazed me but...
I'm on my 4th Rover and waited a long time for the Defender, had my deposit in 9? months ago. But seeing that 2 door without the doors/top flying down the rocks sure looked sweet. In the middle of my Rovers i got a Jeep G Cherokee Overland Summit, supposedly the bee's knees. I couldn't stand it and it spent more time getting warranty work in the short time I owned it than all Rovers combined, won't do that again. Glad you guys liked the wheels! I really need to go hit some trails soon and get it dirty.

Adam
