I love the black steelies with 18" tires! They look different and very cool on the Defender, especially with a slightly beefier 18" A/T or M/T than the standard size Duratracs. So you have a total of 6 steelies in your garage now, including the one on the roof? If only I could fit them over my stupid big brakes, I'd totally buy them from you.

How does the P300 engine compared to the P400? Truck looks fantastic, I am sure it won't be long until I spot your puppy somewhere in the South Bay. Congratulations Mark.

Thanks Umberto. I'll never sell the steelies. I think they're ugly as hell but they will stay with the car forever. Sitting on my back porch. Yes it came with 6 steelies. I also added my lift 1 inch.

Congrats man! Let's meet over there. I'm not too far from them. I offered to buy an inventory they didn't want to deal. All good. I don't mind buying some accessories from them for my 90.

I assume this is the one I pointed you to in Alpharetta?

And LOL on the wheels, I just bought a set of 5 from LK8, after installing the small rear calipers last week. Don’t have tires on them yet. They’ll be strictly my off-road setup, with the 20s on the truck most of its life. I think they look pretty darn boss.

Thanks for more pics. I really like the topo surround under the PiviPro. Limb risers look like they reach further forward than some pics I saw of other Treks. Appears more functional than those. Cool where they put the winch remote! I just keep it in the glove box. I have the Factor55 ProLink. Debating whether to switch to the F55 Ultrahook or even the Warn Sidewinder (I like that it already takes out 1 shackle & has built in rope guard). No regrets on the PiviPro 10.4, but I am admitting I'm exploring an iPad mount so I can run Gaia as does afterthelandroverexperience.

Been debating the full rack/screen in the back. Sometimes when I have too much camping gear I like putting the second row seats down and just piling in. What's your thoughts re: it? Like it, not? Great mounting points and can separate gear, but wonder if I'll be removing it too often when I put the seats down.

Congratulations OP - I'm more intrigued about how you got one at MSRP.....did you have pictures of the sales, finance manager and GM in very compromising positions.....together???

I think this deal is amazing. I inquired with my LR dealer about just a winch and it was 12k installed.... So getting to what you have on my base through the dealer I would quickly get past 85k. Nice work!

Damn........those ugly black steelies make the car even more awesome. Love the Trek but a big mistake, looks wise, putting those other rims on. Anyway, to each their own......that's what make the world go around.......enjoy!!
