Have started to see Defender 90's driving around the streets, did not think they were ready for sale yet but assume they are. One was in the Blue Mountains and another in Sydney. Must say prefer the 90 over the 110 if you are a couple only, just like the look of them, add some 35inch tyres and wow, what a weapon. sorry no pics.
An interesting and expensive mod, i know the @newdefendermods sub frame lift is not cheapQuote:

Pretty happy with my standard 32" tyres on my 110 .. not to every ones taste i know [bigwhistle]

Went to the local LR dealership in Artarmon but seemed like it was closed which was unusual for the weekend - anyway wanted to check out the new defender 90 and the Disco5. All doors locked which was a shame so unable to look inside properly or have a seat. But captured this nice looking 110 which was wrapped in graphics. Wish they would do something with the D90, looked a bit boring next to the wrapped 110. enjoy.
We did something similar a few weeks back and my brother didn't like the signature panel, and suggested getting it painted or wrapped in black, so that way it'd blend in with the windows, which I thought was a good idea for anyone else that feels the same.Quote:

I finally got my paws on my new car...

And with the $1,000 off accessories offer at the moment I also got a boot-load of goodies to bolt on over the next few weekends. Rear towing eyes, front undershield and compressor. I also have a windscreen mount antenna on order which will combine with a GME UHF CB. A trailer brake controller will finish things off for now.
I will hold off getting a roof rack or winch/bar in case there are some better aftermarket options out soon.
We expect a full report on its performance on and off road JT! [bigsmile]Quote:

My D250 S Defender 90... Pictured during a recce for our RTV style Challenge.
The car is in Off-road Height 1 (33" Falken Wildpeaks) in the photo and has the Off-Road Pack and Tow Pack, so TR2 and all the associated systems included.
