full steering gaurd my vote every time not dan bar type thing think mine was 35 quid from lroi show 2003
crazymac:
I have a full guard on, but it will be coming off!
Causes as many problems as it solves, including lifting up the front end in snow and causing a lack of traction and on top of that, you can still bend the steering bars, I did!!
I have sumo bars fitted now as well as the guard, so bomb proof on front but time to remove the guard!
clbarclay:
The traditional steering gurads don't to anything to protect the track rod or steering damper.
If you want to protect all of the steering with a bolt on guard then the southdown axle guard (or similar guards which goe underneathe the axle) provides superiour protection, but has its own downsides, such as being a horendus mud trap.
Have a good lock at challange trucks, they inveriably all seem to use stronger or strengthed steering bars, but there would seem to be just as many not using a steering guard as there are those that do.
I got a defender swan neck and steering damper for my RRC, cut of the old damper mount on the track rod and sleeved both track + drag rods with some tube, its not the most robust setup, but should be plenty of pay and plays.

i went for and would recommend the paddocks bars. they are NOT just a tube you slide over the old and very thin standard bars.
