Does anyone know what setup is on the front of the G4 Discovery? I really like that and don't want to spend any money on a factory guard. I would like to have it like that for a while and get a replacement bumper later. Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on the subject. Thanks, Hill | ||

Hill that is a "factory guard" They are equipped and sold at retailers as we speak. -Jim | ||

The 2 g-4's I've seen here in Utah had those factory "nudge bar" mounted. I can't remember but I thought I read those were part or the G-4 package on the window sticker. | ||

Hill, Here is a link to where you can buy the part you want. It's really expensive ($950) which is a freaking joke. I recommend just replacing the entire front bumper which you can do for about half the price of the LR winch mount part. http://www.roverconnection.com/Disco%202%20Acc/d2winch.htm Jamil | ||

Thanks for the information. I actually was talking about the actual trucks used in the challenge. I have a picture but I can't copy it. There is no guard that I can see. Just the winch and two warn lights below the grill. It has the bolt-on headlight protection as well. It is on the G-4 Challenge site where I got the pick on my computer. Maybe someone knows about them. Thanks, Hill | ||

If you want to duplicate that set up the dealer will sell you all the parts.....and vacuum your wallet dry.....Standard LR (made by Warn) winch mount, Warn lights and LR genuine parts headlight guards | ||

Hill, As Chris said, that link I posted is the one they use on the G4. Just put a roller fairlead on and replace the A-bar with the Warn lights. http://www.tawayama.com/safaris/recent%20trips/g4/g4-DII-winching%232.jpg Jamil | ||

Is this what you're thinking of: http://www.landroverg4challenge.com/main/getnewsimage.asp?x=151&t=3 I think the link should work. It looks like a Waren product. Or maybe this: http://www.paddockspares.com/shop/pages/new_products/info/pm501_2.htm | ||

Thanks for everyone's help. I don't know why but I really like that setup on the G4's. I guess you have to cut your bumper for that setup as well? | ||

Hill it makes the approach angle pretty bad with that winch hangin' off the front. | ||

I didn't think about that. Thanks for the information. I may just wait and do it all when I replace the front bumper. I am leaning toward the ARB since I can retain the fog lights. May sound silly, but really like the way it looks. | ||

 I like my ARB, but i'm going to chop off the upper bars. I think it looks a bit too heavy the way it is. If you want to run brush wires the upper bars are a place to mount them. |
