-more wheel travel for coil sprung models, also an extra 1.5” of height (Land Rover should assume folks that get coils aren’t being cheap, we actually want to go off road). Along those lines, a Sasquatch/Rubicon like package with real tires and aluminum sliders - because people are actually cross shopping the Wrangler and Bronco with the Defender.

-exposed front recovery hook

-thicker windshield

-OEM bull bar option for the US

-charge way less for painting the roof a different color
