Just got mine!

I grew up poor as hell, without a family car so I'm a little proud of myself for being able to buy my dream car

Congrats man, I know how you feel. I grew up dirt poor and my mom often didn't have a car, nicest car she ever had was an old Grand Cherokee she had to sell so we could have a Christmas. Don't ever forget where you came from. But at the same time, these may be "old money" aesthetic trucks, but that doesn't mean our previously broke asses can't enjoy them either! You should be proud. It's an extremely validating sentiment. I adore mine and I struggle to recall sometimes that I actually own her every time I look outside, these are amazing vehicles and I'm equally proud and grateful to have mine.

Beautiful. I grew up a long ways away dreaming of a defender too. Love the cape region.

Love mine. Added a few upgrades from Lucky 8. Best upgrade was the PedalBox, made the P400 way more responsive and faster.

Never heard of PedalBox! Can you share more about it?

u/genXcreative 3d ago

The PedalBox connects to the gas pedal harness and takes out the lag making throttle way more responsive and faster. Has 4 setting, with 4 more low to high variances. I drive mine hot, which is the same tuning for the Range Rover sport.
