    White roof on my Def 90 all done + Wolf rims and XZLs

    Respray all done on the roof, and I've swapped out the fat MTRs for a set of cheese cutter Michelin XZLs on some Wolf rims.

    Looks a bit more traditional now

    Will take it out next weekend up to Coomandook for some sand driving, so I'll see what I think of the XZLs compared to the Goodyear MTRs in the sand. At least it will be a quieter trip up there.

    Nice one SB, Yes I like the Wolf rims too and those XZL's are tough tyres - do you run tubes in them?

    That white roof looks terrific.

    They are the Tubeless Wolf rims (you can also get tubed if you want - but I wanted to run tubeless).

    Looks great - agree, Defenders should always have a white roof!

    XLS in sand no problem, just let out enough air.

    Enjoy!

    They are mud tyres so not great in the wet. I used to run BFG AT's for "road tyres" and they were better than the XZL's.
