underside protection

Post by Shane. » Tue Mar 11, 2014 10:37 pm

Seen a few topics about underside protection but wondered what others were running? I have been looking to get a front diff guard/bash plate, possibly a rear diff guard & a set of tree/rock sliders.

Interested in DIY builds aswell as prefab stuff can be pretty expensive.

Just spoke to a mate about it, he said if I can get a template he can get it laser cut for me. Anyone have sizes or a template they could send me?

My mate who cut out mine has a template...next time I go round there I'll get it for you. It is very simple just to make one out of cardboard...not very strong though...
