Not good new, I'm afraid. My contacts in LR tell me that there are only 2 G4 FL2s in the plan for the 2008-09 challenge so not the mainstream compeition vehicles at all.

I asked the question as I had a plan to replace my 2004 G4 Discovery 2 with one of the 08 event vehicles but (a) it was put back to 09 and (b) only 2 up for grabs anyway. Hence bought my XS last month and I have to say that Mrs B is happier with Stornoway Grey than Tangiers Orange!

Cheers

The Sept and Oct issues of Overlander 4WD magazine will show G4 FL2s. Also keep an eye on LRM. --

Hiya RMP

Any chance you could scan in the pictures?


Chris B - Don't suppose your contacts know if and when the G4 accessories for FL2s will be available to buy through our dealers?

Sorry, you'll need to wait for the magazines to hit the shelves. G4 accessories will mostly be available through dealers. Mantec make most of the kit so you can go direct. I know some markets will not have the FL2 underbody protection guards plates, get those direct from Mantec. --

Nice pic in the latest LRO - a recce convoy including 2 FL2s. These must be the 2 I had heard of. The text says that all models will be used - but without saying what for!

They are the two. HSE TD4s. At the time of writing it hadn't been decided what they would be used for. --

Good find

Looks like the only thing to come then is the G4 Roof rack & Spotlights and the rear ladder

Everything else looks to be available now from either LR or Mantec Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

And the MTR tyres if Goodyear are supplying them.

The roofrack does look like the Safety Devices one for the old Freelander, although SD doesn't make them any more, wonder who makes it, and when or even if it'll be available
