Ceramic Coating applied. Now to let it sit in garage for a day or two to cure up. I agree was surprised by the lack of color pallets on most of the defenders I've seen. But that seems to be how cars are ordered these days black/white/silver and nothing else. I've seen one Blue and it was a close second but I'm always a sucker for green, very happy I got it. The white roof is the chef's kiss for me. I'm really surprised if you go above SE you can't get it. Glad I did, really like it.

I let the dealer do it, I believe they used the Armor-All Branded, Near as I can tell if you're not doing it yourself theirs is on par with everyone else as long as you regularly wash the car. Plus they do the interior and I have kids and they are monsters on them

https://www.redbournewheels.com/land...ver-wheels.php

with some Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires.

It's a bit more truck like of a ride. But not that much more road noise. Only put on a few miles them so far but I like it.

I used Avalon King Armor Shield IX and it was crazy easy to apply. (after many, many hours of prep)

What size KO2's are those? Looks great. I have the same OEM wheels, I'm thinking about going this route but with the 1" lift. I have the full size front/rear mud flaps, hoping that won't be an issue.
