A real gem of a weekend. Bluebird days and nightly dumps of snow. Very glad of the Blizzaks on these days.


Took the kids to Central for some lessons Saturday, awesome Bluebird day. Is this at Alpental?

Yes. View from the top of chair 2 on Saturday. It never gets old.

Friday we were at Crystal Springs for some x-country skiing.

I saw this one today in the wild. A soccer mom got out of it. Not sure those are factory painted calipers...

Those calipers are ridiculous, but you'd be kidding yourself if you think the majority of Defender owners aren't soccer moms. I'd say it's 90% a grocery runner for most people.

I have zero issue with it either. Hope tons of soccer moms are out there. Hope you see a million of them mall crawling. Sell a ton of them that do that, just like Jeep has, and we all benefit from more aftermarket parts. More used ones to choose from. Etc. I say bring on the soccer mom endorsement!!!

The calipers are the OEM calipers on the Defender-x. Hard to see here with 18's but the same L'Orange color

Great looking truck. I'm fairly sure the calipers are OEM on the white one I took the picture of but they were fluorescent orange. Not close to the color of yours.
