Are you adding anything additional to yours?



Sweet! Mine just showed up today and looks pretty neat. A few pics attached. The MSRP ended up at $76,445. I have already ordered 1.5" Johnson Rods for it and 33" BFG All Terrains, and they will go on almost immediately. I am also going to have the wheels powdercoated black. For some reason the white steelies just don't do it for me. I have also ordered the matte black 110 Decal for the hood.

My dealer is getting 2 (based on sales), they just heard a couple weeks ago, will be here in a couple weeks - but it's first come, first serve, as in show up and buy - no reserving. As for numbered, it's not, just limited. There are only 500, but all say "1 of 500".

Bummer about the non-serialized badge, does anyone have real/public (non-press release) pictures of the back badge and interior shots?

@wkcwkc - That is an AWESOME looking Defender and I think you will love the changes. I agree the hood decal will be an improvement. I usually do a lot myself, but I'm terrible at straight lines! I'd likely hire someone to put it on. Please post the before/after pics.

So that’s what a Ram TRX and a Cadillac CT4 look like? Sorry, wouldn’t take either on a bet. But, that’s why we all have different tastes and opinions. And IMO, neither holds a candle to my Defender. So, I guess you’ll be switching to a Cadillac owners forum, nothing to see here for you. This is for Defender owners/lovers. CarMax flashed the cash, green is what caught your eye.

Thanks! I'll see if I can get a few, I won't be taking delivery until tomorrow or the weekend, they still have to PDI the car.

I will try and get some interior shots and badge shot shortly. Lamborghini notably and many other manufacturers have long gone away from sequenced badging of this nature because it causes the manufacturer and dealers a ton of grief. Customers/owners would often get upset about "being last" or getting a late run of the limited model blah blah blah. So it's just easier on everyone these days to number limited runs this way. Everything is 1/500 or 1/however many total they are making.
