steering and diff protection

(1/3) > >>

anaxemurderer:
Really should be buying some protection for my bobtail. Got a couple of questions?

Who's the best place to buy wrap around diffguards from (thinking wrap around at back pan guard at front)?

Should i get steering guard or sumo/dan bars, bearing in mind i intend fitting 11" front shocks. (on my 90 the drag link fouls the steering guard).

Who does decent but reasonably priced steering guards or sumo bars

Cheers for your help

At Donnington I saw a few stalls selling a wraparound diff guard like the QT type but welded to a clamp-on type diff guard so the best of both worlds.

diff guards!
just a bit of info from me man with l/r garage
he says the clamp on diff guards are not good, good as a guard goes but! when you tighten them up they can cause the casing or the thin diff cover to distort and then leak, especially if your bolting them onto an old axle.
he repairs regularly axles because of this reason, he welds in one of them replacement heavy duty cases i think they are about 4mm with a thick strip welded around the front edge, as opposed to the bean tin land rover use.
never used them or any other type, but just a thought for who ever, when ever your after buying diff guards.

anaxemurderer:
If i put a pan type guard on i will spot weld it in place (avoiding problems with distorting pan or it coming off).

Pretty sure i will get pan type for front (to preserve ground clearance) and wrap around at back (becuase there is less control of where rear diff is).

I seem to recall a thread on this forum which had a link for a company which did wrap arounds at a good price. Something like '4x4 r us' but i can't find it or them!

cheers for help as always
