Delivery date for my Defender is 02/21. Later than I wanted but it’s a 2021 model year instead of 2020 so I’ll take it. Woohoo!

2dr or 4dr?
I know the 2dr is less practical for most people but I like it so much more. I think it has too gizmos for me... not that I’m old and set in my ways (only 37) but I’m pretty used to more Spartan options currently driving two ‘80’s vehicles. I also grew up off-roading in a late ‘80’s 4Runner and then as an adult owned a Wrangler JK “X” package that had open diffs, and roll down windows.... BUT some of those defender do-dads are pretty damn impressive. Especially all the cameras and suspension adjustments. No more getting out to spot. I had to do a lot of practice with my Jeep to trust myself 100% where the tires would line up.

5 d oor S with all the offroad doodads including the rear electronic LSD. Learnt how to drive in a Series IIa and had a Disco 2 so it’s going to take some adjustment wheeling an IS setup.

My Wrangler definitely had more flex than the 4Runner ever did. BUT the 4R always had better roads manners.
Also, nice colour.

Danke , the 3dr would be fun but I want something with more capacity so I can sleep in and also be able to use for stuff around the house (I have a trailer and honestly don’t need a pickup).

I just saw one in that color the other day on the highway. It was gorgeous. Good looking car in person. Hope it’s a fast four months!

The packages have been adjusted and renamed and the base price is now $500 more (although I have a heated 3rd row now so that’s nice)
