Underbody Guards

(1/5) > >>

dew1911:
ok I'm going to start the off road mods going by investing in some decent underbody protection. Anyone got any Recommendation as to the following:

Steering This One £49.50

Axle Needed

Diff This  One £18.74


Tank Needed

Quality wise I'm looking for something that'd stand up to some abuse, but I do have a limit of about £150-£160 total, unless I can make major savings in some areas and then invest that into others.

Thanks,
David

I have a version of this type of steering guard, find it acts like a plough/anchor if being recovered backwards in the slop.
I would, if given the choice again, go for a Dan-Bar, it's much lighter too!

Cheers
Ollie.

Tank guard..... not sure i would use one on Trug.... not unless i was gonna race offroad.
Steering guard/diff guards are a definate must have.
Dan bar..... yeah i'm gonna get one of them.

Redlinemike has some damn good axle guards.

dew1911:
ok, what is a Dan-bar, how much and where would I get one hehe.

I agree some guards arew a must-have, hence I'm looking for them before I plan to off road it. I'd rarther spend £50 on a steering guard then spend a lot more and have it off the road for days while I rebuild the steering.
Cheers.

clbarclay:
A dan bar is a thick wall tube that fits over the steering track rod to give it extra strength. Depending on the nature ot the terrain and the driving a steering guard is not grantied to protect the track rod so a strengthend track rod is a good option.
