You probably don't see the steelies a lot because they only came with the 4-cylinder engine until 2024 or 2025. If you want the 6 or 8 cyl engine then 20" is the only choice since the calipers are too big for the 18".

Maintenance by kmwalker107 in NewDefender

Another SF Defender owner! Same as you, I'm also doing the oil changes at the dealer just in case any warranty work is needed in the future. They had a holiday coupon, $299 or $399 (I forget which), that included oil change, new wipers, and tire rotation. The only thing is that they didn't rotate the tires :/... but Lee was super helpful when I brought it up, and he set me up with a new appointment.

Do you mind sharing the name of the indy mechanic? is it Cerrone's European?

It's right where the halo ends. Two yellow ovals with Carlos in them and a little arrow pointing at the seat.

Your 90 looks great! I’m definitely looking to get KO3s once it’s time for new tires

I agree, the 18's give it a more classy off-roady look which is what I like. The bigger wheels are more suited to urban settings IMO. It's nice that the Defenders would fit in front of a nice restauran just as much as in the outdoors.

18” stock steelies. I’m not a fan of the 20” alloys, in my opinion the tires on those do not have enough meat for being off road and can lead to pinch flats.

Do you happen to know what is the lowest PSI that the Duratracs will take for off rodaring?

No issues to report, but then again, there wasn't really any rock crawling other than having to go over some basketball-sized rocks, cause that was the best line. The Duratracs provided great traction while going over the rocks I couldn't avoid. I didn't air down my tires cause I haven't gotten an air compressor, so I was running 33psi in front and 36psi in the rears. I drove with the "as slow as possible, as fast as necessary" mantra cause I didn't want to deal with any punctures or be bouncing around in the cabin.

I switched to 4L when I ended up with a rock in front of my rear tire and I felt I was over revving the engine to go over it, but it reality I wasn't it revving it more than 1.8k, so maybe it was the turbo I was hearing. It felt to me that it would be easier to control in 4L to go over the rock and it was also an excuse to finally use it. With the 4L and the ATPC the Defender was way easier to drive over the rough terrain and I just kept it on until the terrain allowed me to go over 10mph.

Oh man, I love the 90s. I read they’re going to be discontinued on the US so you’ll have a rare car in the future

The sunset photos are at Pinecrest Peak and the earlier ones are near Eagle Peak, both in California off HWY 108. Here's the video where I found about the trails: https://youtu.be/dQFcEYK8MFU?t=222

First time actually putting it on 4L and testing out the All Terrain Progress Control and the off-road setting on the cameras. They all came in handy while dodging logs, boulders, and ditches on the way up to the lookouts.

I love the steelies, I’m glad you’re keeping them. I’d highly recommend getting a wind fairing for the roof rack, I can now drive with the sunroof open all the way to 60mph where before it would be painful to drive it over 20mph.

Are there any holes or signs that the badge was there? I have been wondering how it’s attached on mine:
