EPA and DOT can suck it...

Hi all,

Just letting you know I'm lucky enough to live the dream over here in Australia. Got myself a 2011 Defender 110 Limited Edition Xtec (narva bronze colour). It's my first Defender and I absolutely love everything about it, even its quirks and jerks !!

Hope you get them over there soon !!

Awesome first post! Welcome to Expedition Portal!

Meh. I'm not a fan of the front clip. I see wheels like that at the mall on F250's that look like they've been tag-teamed by catalogs from Summit Racing and Tapco.

I do like the color scheme and the tires.

To each his own.

Edit: I suppose that this post would be a 'nay'. I'll prepare for the torrent of ExPo not-hate.

Anyone else think it's weird that the Goodyear MT/Rs are the old discontinued tread pattern? Those haven't been available in the USA for 3-4 years.

Could you not show left-hand drive Defenders, please? It just makes it more painful.

Yuck. Keep it.

Who in his right mind had the brilliant idea to paint the roof black?!?!?!? My white Jeep Wrangler has a black hard top and from my very own personal experience I can tell you that a black top is about the stipidiest thing you can do. Always liked that LR put white roofs on their Series and Defenders, wished Jeep would have done the same. I dig the no rear window hardtop on the oneten though, but don't care too much for that grill and the upedy interior.
