    Working on my build .. wanted to reach out to the brains trust.

    D240 SE in Pangea Green w. Khaki interior
    Active rear diff
    Activity Key (I swim a lot and this would be nice)
    Tow hitch.

    Other options like steps, winch, rack etc will be added over time.

    What I'm unsure of is the "downgrade" to 18" wheels (white steel or grey alloy)

    These days there is a lot of rubber choices for the 20". I'm not a real hard core off-roader but do like a tough track .. any thoughts?

    If you can get the engine you want with 18” wheels then that would be my choice every time.

    Agree go 18s if you are getting the D240.

    Ill be going 20s and upsize an inch or 2, but will fit 18s if and when they become avail.

    Anyone got any word if a specific model will drop in Australia first and if any options delay you getting your car?

    For example the first edition first to drop, i believe this is the case in US..they have ordered 500 110s and 500 90s in first edition spec according to the attached.

    • Privacy Glass?
    • Heated seats?
    • Carpet mats?


    Also, I'd option the "Off road pack" rather than the rear diff on its own. It is only $642 more than the diff on its own and for that you get the roof rails and the domestic pluck sockets.

    The D240 seems to be the most popular choice and will be first (according to dealer).

    I’ve ordered a D240 S and apparently this will on the first shipment Build discussions

    I’m getting blue....

    I don't believe I've ever seen such a comprehensive option list on ANY other vehicle.
