L/R 110 4x4 Regional Force Surveilance Vehicle (RFSV)

[Barefoot dave]

Correction to term SRV/SF.
The ADF designation is now SFPV, Special Forces Patrol Vehicle. This week at least
How many names has Bushmaster had now?!

The upgraded RFSVs with mission/ Safety upgrade kit are still RFSVs
Now the Lancers are renaming theirs. Going to have to start referring to them as "Surveillance, SRV/ SFPV/ RFSV/ RFSV Upgrade" etc.

I have one only of this thing with a hole in it on the left of the rear bumper, what is it for?

It may be associated with the dual wheel carrier when mounted. It could be a support bracket for the carrier to sit on. You can see the same steel block in the photo below. Looking at other Land Rover the same as yours, this block only appears on the LHS where the carrier sits.

Its the standard mount for the tailgate 

[juddy]

Tail gate mount? but its got no tail gate?

Tail gate mount? but its got no tail gate?

It started out a standard mil chassis, same as all the GS units with tailgate, and the same reason civvy 110s have tailgate hinges even if a station wagon...

Mil standard 110 chassis... eg: ADF 110's dont have a load leveller, but the mounting holes are there.

Looks like these have the antenna mounts, something we said they were never fitted with? left over from FFR days maybe?

[Barefoot dave]

Hmm, interesting Pic juddy.
Looks like they have fitted a second rear seat and a fan(?) for the rear, rear seat.

I also note a Radio Tray on top of the right side storage bin.   That along with the AMUs, rear seat facing frontwards and the fan would I guess at a local FFR setup for rear link comms.  Maybe.  Certainly setup for a purpose.

I thought they must have had a ffr fit and at least this confirms this.

The boat rack is also different to the binned rack

[aussiegregmac]

Perhaps sixty can bring us up to date on what it is.

[aussiegregmac]

Ha, Ha,  a much better photo.  Two mounting trays to match the two AMUs and what looks like a Power Dist. Box.
May have a 24v Genny to supply the voltage.  front tray looks like for a 77set/GRC160.  Rear tray maybe Raven.
And no right side storage bin.   Still feel it's a local built FFR for comms purposes.

Hi,

Great Photo

it is 48-003, IPV No 3! so this could be a "trial"set up...............Phoenix may know more.

ps I have a set of those boat racks, could never work out what they where for!
