The wheels look great . I’ve always been very happy with my white wolf wheels against the Keswick green but perhaps someday I’ll be tempted to pop some of those on .
Do you have spacers fitted as well or is that just the offset ? https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |

Wow thanks for the positive comments!
No spacers on these (I’m not a fan of them), they are 16x8” ET0 so they do stick out a fair bit more than standard. Would have preferred something a bit more subtle, but at least they fill the arches!  |

They look amazing! I agree with Greeni, your Defender look great
If it were mine... I might be tempted with limestone roof!   I don't want to detract from this thread so let me know if you'd like it removed?

I completely agree - if I could justify it to the Mrs I’d get the roof and roof tent painted Limestone and get the cappings galvanized. Maybe one day!!

Nice looking truck |

This looks a cracking vehicle! Just got a Keswick green 110 myself and this is giving me some serious envy, ha! New wheels look spot on

Thank you both! Must admit I’m very pleased with them.
Well done on joining the Keswick Green club SJS_95, excellent choice!
Here’s another pic, just because... Click image to enlarge Next job is to get a few bits galvanised and re-do the dinitrol. Deserate to ditch the side steps too, but the Mrs has short legs and the taller tyres haven’t helped! |

The 4 folding heritage side steps would really suit it Andy

I was thinking the same. Your wife will appreciate them too, as they're much better as actual steps, which is why I've gone the same route. Darren

My brother ( packster82 on here ) has just fitted fold down sidesteps to his Keswick and they look great . For the same reason , his wife couldn’t get in without a run up.
Personally I ditched the sills and put rock sliders on , being 6ft 2 I don’t have a problem getting in and out . It also makes it loo taller , probably because they’re black Click image to enlarge https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |
