I have got a h/d rear bumper, front steering guard, rear tank guard, snorkel and a side exit exhaust. I have found that it is VERY good off road without lifted suspension and the only thing that really let it down was the lack of travel.
If i was you i would go for the biggest tyres you could fit under the arches and get some protection and some recovery points and save your cash for the next 6 months. Come march i should be fitting the llama4x4 suspension kit on mine but then i would have had it a year :dance:
Gavin.
P.s in some previous posts there shgould be some photos of my discovery with that size tyres on.

You'll have to keep me posted on the llama4x4 suspension kit, will be looking to do upgrades similar when a bit more experienced.

i have it....its good lack of front flex tho but i think thats just the set up ive opted for.

Ok, got my new bits to fit this weekend, Steering Guard, Diff Guards and wheels and tyres.
Question, the Steering Guard is from Paddock and didn't come with fitting instructions, bolts, or anything! Where does it attach to the car and will i need to get extra/different bolts?
Cheers,
Chris

hi if it is the one piece its a little tighter but still not to bad. firstly it bolts through the exsisting bumper holes.if the old bolts are long enough you can reuse these.(if you can get them out in one piece) and the back one on the drivers side bolts to the steering thingey. :-k i fink thats about it :-k
Disco Matt:
You might need a bolt on the passenger side - if you look on the chassis you'll find a metal tube welded under the rail in front of the axle, the bolt goes through this and the steering guard side frame. Reuse bumper bolts if you can, the fourth attachment involves undoing the big nut holding the steering box brace on. This needs to be tightened to the right torque setting when you put it back.

Cheers, guys.
Does anyone know the correct torque setting then?
