18”New Defender steelies on LR4

LR3 Expedition Rack on an LR4 with Extended Front Rails?
Yes - the G4s cut the cowling to fit 7" round lights. I wanted to stay same as well. Here are some pics I found from the install I followed (sorry I dont remember the name to give credit): -
LR3 Expedition Rack on an LR4 with Extended Front Rails?
Sure; Digging way back to 2015....Measure twice, you only get one chance. Totally unnecessary light, but huge improvement on rack esthetics. before: -
Locker behavior questions
Traction control is a microprocessor controlled 'fight' between engine and brakes. Makes sense that it requires 2000 rpm and a minimum amount of detectable wheel spin. This is exactly why I prefer the ARB air locker. -

What's with the self healing satin finish?
Its a $4,880 satin wrap option. Only available on top of the three $710 metallic colors options (Silver, green, & stone) Not available on white, blue, grey, or black - but there are lots of 3rd party wrap/tint places that would do bumper-to-bumper wraps for about that same price. IMHO...- morrisdl
