A couple of questions

I regret not getting the off-Road package with e-diff and torque vectoring. The package comes with the off-road tires which I did not want (from what I looked up, the off-road tires have lower ratings for snow/ice in comparison to the standard defender tires). I will be doing a lot of snow driving over icy roads in MI and so left off the e-diff because of tires. In retrospect, tires can be changed but I cannot add the e-diff on my car.
I'm insistent on the white roof, which is a totally frivolous expense, though. Go figure! (No sunroof. Hate the bloody things)
My current crisis is the Meridian Sound system or not. First World Problems?

The build I have for the 2021 is a color option (tasman blue or black), signature lights, heated seats, comfort and convenience pack, offroad pack, and advanced off road capability pack. At that, I'm showing 57,100 which isn't bad at all and likely what I'll go with.

Hah. This is my logic, too -- my build has the e-diff in for just that reason (well, off-road package). I'm trying to keep it 'affordable', which means P300, cloth seats, and no fancy memory adjustable stuff. Luckily my rugby days are long ago and far away and most of my damage is high speed impact from racing motorcycles and being smashed off a bicycle by a car. So far less in the back and more in the ankles hips, knees, shoulders, elbows, and skull.

I've got a few more things colour and roof, off-road and towing pack, cold comfort pack and heated seats,signature lights, wheel arches and so on. About 5k more it seems, since I'm right at 62k. It keeps creeping up. I can't abide spending this much, but I really love the Landy, dammit.

blue would be my second choice.

Oh one more thought-
Someone asked about digital versus analog instrument choices. I thought a good bit about but went digital. There are some way cool options with digital and it replicates analog gages well. My wife’s Dico Sport has the analog with small info digital piece and I am sure while either would have worked for me the digital is really nice. I now run in full map on the driver side. All warnings and statutes symbols are arranged nicely around the map and I find I really like it. With an automatic I really don’t need rpm for most driving. With the digital you can have a central gage with info on each side which I believe is brilliant for off roading. You would have RPM on the gage which is now important and digital speed in center of it which is only to know how slow you go. Place 4 wheel info to one side and you are in good shape. I leave the PIVI with favorite tiles showing.

Did anyone get the jumpseat option? I was wondering if it can be removed and then be used as walk through? Thinking of my 90 build which is a two door it might be kind of neat to have the option of removing the jumpseat so my son could get into the front and then scoot through to the back without having to move the front seat forward every time. I'd be losing it as a middle armrest then so it would have a bit more of a cargo van feel but I might be ok with that actually.
