Inherited Modifications

The previous owner of this particular vehicle has obviously spent a lot of time researching and a lot of money modifying this Frontera to allow it to be competitive at winch challenges.

Some of the modifications are as follows:

Roll Cage

This roll cage was designed and fitted by Safety Device, a company synonymous with supplying motor sport competition vehicles with safety roll over bars.

Comprising of a main hoop, diagonal and rear stays, front legs, front bar and door bars.

I am yet to determine it's eligibility for Comp Safaris though.

 

Tree guards

The tree bars pass through the roof skin and are welded onto the roll cage at the top of the door opening

There are a number of fixing locations to affix waffle boars, aerials and spot lamps.

I wonder if I can get a Hi-Lift jack mounted up there as well ?

Jackable rock slider sills

I'm yet to try these but they do seem very solid and I expect then to work well

 

Tank and corner guards

The original 80L plastic fuel tank has been replaced with a 60L steel tank, much higher up between the chassis rails. There is also a steel tank guard and quater protection bars

 

Winch bumper

A Winch Challenge vehicle would not be complete without a winch and here we have a Warn 8000 winch (with additional cooling fins), fitted to a Mantec fabricated bumper. The winch is operable via the usual hand controller but also a dash mount in/out switch.
 

Under body protection

The standard Frontera stering and sump guard have been replaced with a substantial bash and skid plating, which goes back almost half the length of the vehicle.
 

Snorkel

A seriously robust steel fabricated snorkel, coupled with a K&N panel filter make a very pleasing induction noise.

The majority of the above modifications were carried out by Mantec
