I saw another white D90 with steelies near Kirkland today, it was parked at a church.
I saw a white on steelies today too. Lots of black accent pieces and fender flares. Looked really sharp. Wonder was it the same one. I waved but couldn’t tell if it was reciprocated. Rare to get a wave in Kirkland.

Finally added spacers - 25mm up front (very minor stud trimming) 30mm in the rear. Really fills the wheel wells out nicely.... in my opinion

That looks rad, can you share your setup? I've read and seen that aluminum spacers are not to be used with steel wheels. Are these aluminum or steel spacers?

Changed out the stock tires and added extended wheel arches. Think I am going to add wheel spacers as I would like the tires for fill up the wheel well space better. Especially on the rear. Question is whether I have space for this? My set up is 1.5 inch lifting rods with 275-60-20 BFG KO2’s. Anyone have experience with spacers and larger tires? Overall I am happy with the results. Once I have the tires and suspension stuff done it is time to start working on a roof rack set up.

Went to watch the sunrise at the Maroon Bells . Had to convince some animals to move off the road in an open range on the way home.

Default Xpel Stealth Matte Wrap on a 23.5 Silicon Silver 110

Just got her back. All of the shiny Silicon Silver bits wrapped. Ceramic Coated all of it. uccboston.com did a great job. What do you all think? Cheers, Ken

I assume there is a good story that goes with the gash in the bash plate? Did you run over a Jeep?

Sit thine-self down by the fire. Enjoy a tankard of ale and some roasted pheasant from the inn-keep, and I shall regale you with tales of adventure and deeds of derring-do.
