Hey all! Coloradan here with my first Rover purchase. I’ve been perusing the forum regarding the Defender before I pulled the trigger. Dumped my Mercedes e450 to get this so I could keep my TRD Pro 4Runner as well!

Picked up the Tasman blue 2020 Defender 110 HSE. I’ve had her for 2 days now. Will soon be adding the Johnson Rods and 275s and she heads out for a vinyl wrap job/tint job next week.

I’m sure I’ll be posting as I continue to work through my list of upgrades to what everyone else is doing!

Yep! I wanted the white contrasting roof so I’m having it wrapped instead of painted. It retains the original body color underneath but is basically like a paint job (but cheaper and also protects the original paint). I’ll have the hood wrapped in black and the roof wrapped in white.

I plan on doing the KO2 or Nittos. 275/55/20. There’s another thread and a few people have confirmed no rubbing at ride height.
