It's too tall un will stick out the bonnet. You'll have problems connecting it to the gearbox. They're mounted differently in tratters. Apart from that, it's a direct replacement.

Let us know how you get on. Don't forget we likes pic's.

Anything is possible with the right bank balance lol
But it will not be easy or cheap.

Lots of work and for little gain. Might as well buy and run a Disco.

Mounting the FL on a traditional chassis will result in something weighing a lot more than a Disco (so worse performance on and off road). And retain none of the Freelanders ability and positive attributes.
