Just wondering what the consensus is for the best initial mods to get an FL2 off road ready (other than tyres)?
Thanks.

The fuel tank is the lowest point of the car and can drag on the ground. I fitted a Mantec tank guard as well as their sump guard extension but they are hard to come by now. When you get an FL2 check that the air cleaner box drain valve is in place. If you take the car into water if this isn’t there you can suck water into the air intake - hydrolock!!

Thanks. That’s really useful.

Coming off the back of BossBob's reply, an old video that we did regarding the air box one way valve:



MuddyMods sell an improved one way valve for the airbox which should be better than what we used as we still get water/mud into our airbox.

A tank guard is a must if you want to do anything more than the odd bit of green laining:

A bit of added ground clearance never goes a miss with the Freelander 2:

A decent set of all terrain tyres as you've said is a very good starting point. Something that is overlooked is just having a well maintained Freelander 2 in the first place. A modified Freelander 2 isn't much use if it breaks down in the middle of a green lane due to a lack of maintenance .
