Both, definitely.

Very likely to do the white highlights now that I see them and like it.
Nice. Is that X-Dynamic? If so, how do they look in person with the gloss lower panels?

Yes, @_Allegedly it is the X-Dynamic HSE. They look very nice, but I’m likely to black it out when I pull them off to install the winch/rear ladder. If you like it, you will love it.

Before too much mud…

Thank you!! I have a Hakuba 110 HSE X-Dynamic due in November so that really helps. At one point I realized that the flaps are matte and asked my dealer if the had ever seen the combo (no). We talked about painting them but assumed the mini-flaps would hold up better with paint.

Those classic flaps look pretty good though.

My right front Classic is half-ripped off — hanging by one fastener. And all I’ve done at this point is a tiny bit of soupy mud near our mountain cabin. I knew these wouldn’t be long for this world when I started in amongst the rocks this fall, but didn’t think a little mud hole would do them in!

I'm running 18s. The tire is Wildpeak AT3 275/65R18. I wanted E rating. I noticed you on another forum group. Keep looking for you in kirkland.

Thanks for the tire info mate. The setup looks looks great. I've still not spied you either.

My Defender can't arrive soon enough. My current ride is less than noteworthy. Up in Mt. Baker area or the past few days. A forest road got a bit too gnarly for my 2WD ride. 10ply or bust here I reckon.




Which forum BTW?





Quit while I was ahead 2 miles shy of the trailhead. TFL woes to be avoided with no spare.




Check out that departure angle and beefy sidewall



She's on her way. Go n'eirí an bothar leí!


Sorry for hijacking the thread BTW.
