Question about accesories for G500
Does anyone know where you can purchase accessories like the ones that appear on the G55 for a G500. The dealer only offers a rhino bar and grill guards at this point. I'm wondering if there are any any aftermarket parts that are available that are similar to the add ons found on the 03' G55.

My wife drives a '99 RR (black w/choc interior) - I've been considering "upgrading" her to a 2000 G500 and would appreciate your comments comparing your two trucks... I've test-driven the G500 (and loved it) but would like your input comparing the two, as someone whose lived with both for an extended period. thanks in advance of the comments.

Well, Here it goes... Once again RR Vs. G500 ....more
Well,
I have had my 96 Range Rover for over 5 years now. I have taken it off-road a few times, nothing too crazy.
Few Features I like about the Range Rover:
1. Electronic Air Suspension - which allows you to adjust height when stuck off road some where. As well as easy to load and unload stuff in trunk area...
2. Very capable Off-Roader. Easy to use 4 Wheel Drive System.
3. Drives quieter and handles better on highway, feels a little more stable at high speeds than a G500.
4. Overall appearence and options.
Now time for the new 2002 G-500:
1. Definitely more torque and Horsepower than a Range Rover.
2. Interior Luxury conforts and features
3. GPS COMAND
4. 3 Differential locks for Off-Roading (Never needed it yet)
5. Exclusivity
6. Better Reliability than a Range Rover??? ( I am not sure at this time)
Overall, G500 is a great replacement for my 96 Range Rover and probably for your wife's 99 as well. But if I were to choose between the new 2003 Range Rover and the new 2003 G500, it might be a very tough decision...

Thanks for the comparison RezaH -
fyi - our '99 RR has been 100% reliable, with zero problems and no complaints.
Aside from the superior appointments and capabilities of the G, I think your #5 sums it up perfectly: "Exclusivity"
Whereas the RR appears to be lurking around just about every corner here in NoVa, I always get a charge when I come upon the G500... saw a silver one this a.m. in McLean - it may be another 2 or 3 weeks before I see another one!
BTW - great pic's of your stable! Love the silver.
