installed my roof rack, gear box and ladder this weekend. raised air intake and winch still to come!

cheers!
Did you put those tires on aftermarket? I thought the off-road option was the Goodyear Wrangler. I have a 110x on order currently, MY2023.5. Since everyone says the Wrangler's are terrible in snow/ice I have ordered mine with the all season tires and was planning to get my own off road tires at some point.

Default Puddle light

My 4 year old has been waiting to see the puddle light. Anyone who got the vehicle recently, did it come with puddle light?

thank you. For some reason I was thinking LR might have removed it due to chip shortage.

@Nati i ordered the all season as well. figured i would save the ~$300 they were charging for the off-road tires and put it towards the tires i really wanted. had the parts department order the tires so they could be installed before i saw it for the handover. really glad i swapped the tires out!

went with bfg all terrain t/a ko2 in 275/55 r20. no rubbing to report.

cheers.

Thanks for the info. Your truck & tire combo looks great. Can't wait to get mine. Do the K02 tires have a larger overall diameter? Any concern about odometer / speedometer accuracy? Did the dealership calibrate for you when they installed?
