So far

Front windows tinted 25% ceramic to match rear windows

Proud Rhino 1 inch lift

Black Rhino Chase 20 x 8.5 et 10

BFG K02 275/55/20



have the oem roof rails sitting in a box at home. weekend project. Hoping that my assumption that all Defenders chassis are the same and i shouldn’t have any issues adding the rails

quick parking lot pic in its current state. sitting at normal height with the 1 inch lift


Wow, your Defender looks great. And I think you helped make up my mind about getting the Chase wheels for my incoming 2022 110 (p400 X dynamic). It was ordered (by someone else) with 22's, but i plan to go down to 20's and the Chase has been a leading contender. Thanks! And really appreciate all of your pix and info above...

So my V8 was built on Jan 19 but as of Feb 23 it had yet to get loaded on a ship. "At Retailer" date moved from March 4 to March 25. I see that a ship left port (Bremerhaven) on Feb 24 so I am hoping it may be on that!

Never thought I’d be one of those “lucky” people but my dealer just informed me this morning, out of nowhere, that they have received my V8 D90!

That's very exciting! When do you think you will be able to pick it up? Looking forward to seeing pictures.

Now on to the annoying questions - do you know the actual build date and does your 90 have all the features its supposed to have? Big screen, ClearSight mirror, digital dash, etc....

I just picked up a V8 in Carpathian (non CE version). I initially bought an X, which promptly had a catastrophic failure on the highway on the trip home. Unhappy with the failure 30 minutes after purchase (something to do with the MHEV, I think), I decided to pay up and upgrade to the V8. Happy that I did as I prefer the uniqueness of the vehicle.

Already added roof rails and the integrated air compressor. Also ordered 20” wheels and tires from the dealer. Looking forward to putting some miles on it.

What happened to your X? (says the nervous guy who's D90X is on its way...)

Beautiful truck. Where did you source your roof rails? And did it come with everything it was supposed to come with (large screen, Digital dash, ClearSight mirror)? I keep asking this question as my dealer says he won't know until mine lands in a few weeks.

Thanks

I ordered the roof rails from Land Rover Palm Beach - they actually had them in stock.

Mine came with the larger screen, digital dash and clear sight mirror. I didn't order it, however. It just happened to be one they had already.
