Don't know about that orange though... I was just looking at the D2 and Freebie on that page, wouldn't you pay $9k more and get this disco?   R. B.

Too bad they aren't making enough of them to know that Americans really want the CDL. It just occured to me... so we can't even special order a transmission with a CDL here in the states because of all the problems with certification etc... well, not anymore. When this edition comes out, even though there will only be a limited number of them, there will effectively no longer be any reason why an American could not order the G4 edition transmission from the dealer - they are certified now! Sure it might take some work, but I bet you could do it now.   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior Member Username: Carter Post Number: 2409 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Monday, May 05, 2003 - 05:01 pm:    yeah but given the fact that they won't sell you a black hood sticker with out giving them a Kalahari vin# and shit like that I doubt it will be as easy as calling them up and ordering it... But I could be wrong.   Gil Stevens (Gil) Senior Member Username: Gil Post Number: 265 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Monday, May 05, 2003 - 11:08 pm:    the transmission is no different than any other 03 Disco. The transfer case might be what your looking for..   R. B.

And like Carter said, LR gets all up tight about numbers in their computers not matching up etc...
