But these are not AT tyres... wouldn't it be almost like replacing the stock goodyears with a different version of the same kind of tyre?
From the Bridgestone site:
H/P 680
Sporty, class-leading highway perfromance
Sporty handling
Superb road holding on paved dry surfaces
Excellent grip on paved wet surfaces
Superior riding comfort
Outstanding and stylish tread design

It would be really cool to get a list of the web sites you used to order your parts. For example, I have been unable to locate the Kaymar rear bumper. Sounds like you need an expedition assistant.. call me..
I reviewed your album and have a couple of suggestions for your wish list. First, I replaced all my Brakes with EBC Slotted Rotors and Green stuff high performance pads, particularly in sand, it will stay clean, not overheat and wear 30% longer at least (and rotors 100% longer at least so far for me).
Second, I live in a very hot climate as well, and I have compared high quality tinting with factory and the LR. The Air Conditioning works with a lot less effort with good tinting. I tinted my sun roof windows (3) with Silver Dark tint, with is reflective, you can still see out ok. Then I tinted Passenger windows back with As dark as i could tinting, you can see out, but you cannot see in. The drivers compartment side windows are tinted with slightly less dark tint, so that you can still see ok at night. This in my opinion makes the AC have to run about 1/2 as hard, which means you can make it cooler, and not work as hard to keep it cool.
The opinions are not scientific, but tried and tested, enjoy..
