Hello all, I am deploying to the middle east very soon and I will be surrounded by many series vehicles....freight will be outrageous. I am searching for the riot screens that the Brits use on thier defenders...easy enough. My question is, will the screens on thier defenders fit on the SeriesIII, 109 windshield, door,side and rear glass? Any ideas?

Thanks:thumb-up:

As far as I know the screens should be fine on the sides and rear glass. The Defender windshield is taller and has no center bar but I believe it is the same width. Now if they mount the same way is another question.

The mounting method for those big white tanks is quite... uh... interesting. :eek:

I wonder how they can drive a series with the temperatures they get down there. I mean, doesn't it pass 100f with great regularity in Iraq?

It must be a dry heat. :p

I like the photo through the weeds, kind of looks like you were sneaking up on it... Or planning a surprise attack? Were those friendlies down there?


On a serious note:
I definitely want to hear about the chemical weapons!
