| Need advice for my new Buckingham Blue LR4. (Pics added!) |

Wow. This is one heck of a Land Rover. 7 Seats, smooth on the road, terribly fast for a Disco (I've owned a few). It enters high speed New York City traffic quickly enough to make the Q7 and X5 drivers double-take. I've only had limited off-road exposure in the weeks since the Buckingham Blue marvel arrived, one day of deep sand and a brief Manhattan sidewalk crawl I probably shouldn't mention.
I have the HSE Lux with the Heavy Duty package: the "cold box," lamp guards, rear seat entertainment, 20" alloys, mud flaps, full size spare, locking diff  . Overall, it's more than my wife and I expected. We love it.

I eagerly await the proper LR4 kit catalog, and am looking for a subtle mount for my Hi-Lift. I'm taking suggestions. Thanks!
For these photos, I visited my parents in rural New Jersey (yes, there's such a place). I had great light, and a Land Rover that was neither clean enough nor dirty enough to look cool.
