    I have the rear tow loops now. I am planning on Lucky sliders, the front skid plate, and the fender flares. Then. Winch at some point in the future should wrap it up until someone releases full under armor like the tactical rover set I had for the LR3. Did you go with the Lucky8 or OEM winch kit?

    I think your defender looks great! I wanted the steel wheels because I thought it was a nice throwback and I went with Tasman Blue with a White roof....so they work for me aesthetically. I like the white with your wheel choice and I love the hood decal, I did not get it because it would look...

    They seem to fit really well on the 18" steel wheels. I have not noticed any rubbing. I will do another couple of runs at full lock (L/R) and drive/reverse just to check again. I appears my spare wheel has a defect though. I am getting it checked. Discount Tire was not able to get it to...

    I love my defender, I was just posting the tires I went with etc. because there is not really a vehicle specific thread in which to do so. Granted this is not super active forum in general, but even the typical land rover forums are not much help. I just like this forum and most people are...

    Same. I realized you were likely in Knoxville by some of the decals on the window :) I am going to be trying to do some riding on tame/stock friendly routes in the next few weeks. I used to go in my LR3, but it had skids and sliders to help when I misjudged stuff. I have spent the last three...

    W Where are you located in TN? I just picked up my 2022 P300 a few weeks ago. I am hoping to putz around Windrock in a few weeks after my tires come in. Just some easy trails to get familiar with it and have fun. I am looking forward to seeing how it dos relative to the LR3 I had.

    I am about to pull the trigger on a set of tires, just pinging for some group thoughts: 265/70r18 Cooper ST Maxx 275/65r18 Yokohama MT G003 I like the coopers but they are about $100 more a tire. I prefer the dimensions. I know one of the defender community members runs 275/70r18's for the...

    Spike, I was curious on how much clearance you have with your 265/70r18 grabbers? I am getting ready to pull the trigger on some 265/70r18 cooper st maxx's. They list as being ~32.8 vs the 32.6 grabbers. I am hoping that is not a problem as I like the st maxx's on road performance and...

    I just picked up my defender 110 P300 on Monday. Your posts helped me decide to pull the trigger :) I want to swap out to cooper stmaxx's at 265/70 r18. Have you experienced any rubbing with your grabbers? Any noticeable difference in standard driving conditions (acceleration OK etc.)?

    I think the fact that they are limited to larger wheels with the P400 model they have now definitely hurt them. The weak oem tire did not help.

    2020 Defender 110 Eiger Grey overland build

    Thanks! I am pumped. I am wondering if 275/60 will fit because I have always wanted the stt pro's. Even though the st maxx's are an awesome tire for east tn.

    2020 Defender 110 Eiger Grey overland build

    I have ordered a P300 Tasmin blue with a white roof 2022 Defender inspired by this build. The only upgrades are all of the offroad options and the tow package. I am really excited! This will be my fifth rover and first new one. I hope I can run 265/70 R18 Cooper ST Maxxx's on those steelies.

    Spikemd, I know you have owned several rovers. I have owned an LR3, LR4, 2008 L322, and 2012 L322. How does the defender compare? I am ordering a similar P300 build this week and I am curious how it compares. I have been kicking around a defender or an LR3 with cash for mods. I just think...

    Spikemd, Are you running a rod lift at all and if so, what height and do you run it full time? Thanks!

    I was watching the TFL video where Scott Brady was discussing Land Rover performing extensive testing of this vehicle with 35" tires and minimum modifications. I would love to know if it is capable of 35" with simply a "johnson rod" or software lift. Heck 33" stock no mods would be great to...

    2006 LR3 155k - Underbody protection, 275/65 r18 (5 matching wheels) Knoxville. TN

    Sorry for the late reply. I am not interested in parting out the skids at the moment. However, I may be if there is no interest in the vehicle. In which case, I would be willing to sell the skids as a package and return the vehicle to stock. It would just become the family spare/tow vehicle...
