Default 2020 Landmark from Texas Mild build up

Picked up a new Landmark a few weeks ago for my wife. I used to be heavy into rcokcrawls and competition 4x4 stuff but that had waned over the years. Her vehicle got totalled and we got this as a replacement. We met through offroad stuff years ago and is mostly on board with the stuff I will be doing and will allow us sime family trips and activities. We had intended to buy CPO in any color but black, with 3 rows, and adaptive crusie control. This was difficult to find at a reasonable price. So with 0% new made enough sense to pull the trigger.

Modifications List:
extra set of wheels with 275/60r20s
Proud Rhino 2" lift
tow hook access in rear
Winch tray for my Warn m8000
Build rock sliders
Possibly a front aluminum skid plate
add some screens in front of the vulnerable looking cooling stuff up front

The lift kit is suppossed to be here Saturday... I'll only put this on and the larger tires on when it needs to go to play toy duty. Changing wheels and the lift cheaters is easy enough to take on and off.
I painted the spare set of 20" rover wheels that I got for 460 shipped to a rad metallic purple chrome finish last night... I plan on getting the bfg ko2s mounted and balanced in the morning. The extra tpms modules already arrived.

The license plates still haven't come in.







I also painted the spare rear lower valance to match. I wasn't going to cut the nice new one up and got one from a salvage place on ebay for about 60 shipped. I didnt feel bad painting it purple and I wont feel bad cutting a hole in it. I also have some kydex and I will fabricate a trim porthole so it looks nice. Will let a synthetic soft shackle dangle there on offroad outings. The purple valance will only be in place for offroad outings.
i need to speak with lucky8 again about the winch mount. I only want to take the front bumper off one time and I've seen a few fitment issues.

I wimped out on 275/60r20s (33") and am having 275/55r20s (31.9") mounted on the purple wheels right now. I don't want to deal with tire rub on a brand new vehicle.

Where'd you grab the new rims from for that price??

I'd be all over that as I've been wanting a second set for off-roading.

Ebay. Looks like i paid 479 and not 460. I just searched "rover wheels" and "rover rims" a few times a day and sorted them by "newly listed" so I could see what was fresh... i also filtered everything over $500 out. Waited until i found some that I knew were 47mm backspace and 8.5 by 20 and weren't overpriced and had a "buy it now" or "make offer" option. That's my secret to good deals on ebay lol... took 4 days until I found the right ones... had a lot of ignored offers as well. There was another set for 500 and like 160 shipping and they ignored all of my offers under that. Most of the stuff on craigslist and offer up were for LR2s, wrong center bores, pimp rims, etc... but there were possibilities there as well as this is a big city with three rover dealers... but ebay worked this time and they arrive about 36 hours after i paid for them somehow.

Taking them home now.

You were able to secure 0% interest? I wasn’t aware Land Rover was offering that. I’m guessing no rebates or off sticker price though?
