Well I'm WAY behind in sharing the update... I ended up getting the Defender Max HD 10 Lonestar back in February. Ordered in Feb and picked up in March. Originally I loved the stock Stone Gray plastics that came with the Lonestar...but when I saw the Boreal Green plastics in person it was a must have- especially since I wanted to add the System 3 Bronze wheels.. I just lucked out that dealer had one Lonestar coming into their possession March and had a Boreal Green XT unassembled out back. Dealer was awesome and swapped plastics for me. Same week that I picked up the SXS I personally installed a few accessories : OEM 1/2 doors, rear glass, tip-out windshield, panoramic mirror, side mirrors, and sport fender flares. Also upgraded the 28" stock tires to System 3 30" RT320 tires mounted on ST-3 Bronze wheels. Removed the XT sticker on the side plastic and added the Lonestar badge so everything matches up. For the street legal kit, I passed on the Ryco kit and went straight to the Corbin Custom Kit. Integrated the signal switch with the dash cluster too. It's one hell of an upgrade from the Ryco! I'm the only Boreal Green Lonestar in the mountains and we love it. Check it out and let me now what else I should do/add.

Will do! Thanks again for answering all my questions. It’s great to know good people are out there.

Awesome. Any specific spacer recommendation? I think you had a 5-2 wheel offset but the 4-3 should require the same spacer I’d image.

This is great news. Dealership wants $1200 to install ($1200 includes the Corbin signal kit, horn, Ghost Signature lights, mirrors, and rear view mirror.). But I’m sitting about $800 to buy it all myself. Trying to determine if their work is worth $400 haha. Sounds like I’ll be doing it myself! 👍🏽 Wheel spacers seem like a super easy job as well. Probably like 30 min install.

Sweet! That will be perfect! I was considering the System 3 RT320 tires or the CST Apache on the System 3 SB4 bronze wheels with 4-3 offset. Haven’t seen them in a 5-2. Did you pick up OEM spacers for the rear? Did you run the Corbin lights yourself or have a dealership do it? I’d like to learn, and save some money, but don’t wanna screw it up.

Yeah your exactly right! Sold my commander back in September knowing we needed a rig with more seats... it’s been a lonely 6 months. Haha with the 5-2 offset, what’s the total width? We’ve got a few trails here in Utah with posts buried in the ground to limit wide vehicles like trucks and jeeps.

Yeah this is great content. Sweet setup by the way- hands down best one I’ve come across. I have a Lonestar on order and should be here in March. I am looking to do pretty much same tire and wheel set up. Haha the only thing I’m nervous about is ensuring that the rear wheels/tires align with the front wheels/fires. I’m guessing the 1” spacer is the solution?
