What a peasant!
Also no black hood. Doesn't look X
Other than the sad 22" rims I like it. A nice pop of color.

For the record I ended up getting one myself because she didn’t want anything to happen to hers when I drove it 😂. I can’t wait to get mine dirty.

Went out this past weekend with a New Defender friend to the La Dee Flats OHV area which is about 1 hr outside Portland OR near Estacada, OR which I'd never tried. Fun stuff. I'd say this place is an easy to moderate area without snow, and with current snow conditions, it was... moderate bordering on difficult.
Early morning meeting in town (I'm the one on the right)
Brief stop to take care of a nail in a 35" (how awesome is this rig!)
Staging area. Conditions at low elevations dry and gorgeous.
35's, a 2" body lift, 1" rod lift -- this thing is the best looking Defender I've ever seen!
Took the Labrador instead of the Bloodhound today. Pro: He doesn't run off into the woods. Con: He hates being bounced around.
Parked for lunch in what we came to know was "a swamp"
Leaving Lunch. Had no idea we were about to be very ... very stuck.
Little did we know it was a swamp covered in 3 feet of snow. I couldn't get out. Other guy did!
WELL stuck here.
Gen 1 4-Runner pulled me out w/ kinetic rope. I had aired down to 20-21 PSI. Clearly not enough. Still a bit worried about de-beading these silly 20's though... I have yet to go below 20 psi. Next time I'm trying 15-16 psi on snow.
Gen 1 4 Runner to the rescue
Airing back up.
I could stare at this bullbar for days
Proper mud on the new bullbar
My D2 was unhappy when I got home that he had to sit it out.
Post trail lunch in NE Portland @ Cafe Nell after a very half-*** pressure wash job

Epic looking day of fun. I'm sure the winch was put to good use. Snow this time of year is no joke as I learned last May. The lifted Defender on 35"s is a beast. MC really has put that together well. Very jealous.
