GU Patrol Guard

Have removed the rear section of this guard on mine I think it is a splash guard but i could be wrong.

Mines down the bottom of a bog hole in the Wombat forest...:) ripped off trying to reverse out!

Have asked the same question to myself.

Maybe it is there to create a vacuum effect under the motor to assist in getting air through the radiator and inter cooler ??

Being plastic I can not see any other purpose.

Redeye

I got rid of flimsy bit of useless kit and replaced it with a bit of fabricated 7mm thick alloy chequer ( spelling???) plate. To get the dimension, bolt holes, ventalation holes ect perfect use the plastic bit as a template. If you've got the skills to do it or have someone in the fabrication business then a few cartons should be the price for a new shiny bit of metal under your truck that will far more useful than a plastic shield. When you put it back in use stainless hex bolt with Xlarge washers and nyloc (never come undone) nuts to put it back. The only pain in the @ss is the seal that goes along the bottom of the radiator where the rear plate joins up, use some 1mm thick rubber about an inch wide that you can get at any Clark Rubber type joint. My 'truck' is a 98 2.8 GU with the factory alloy bullbar. All up the bit of alloy wieghed about 40kgs but no difference to steering, feel, front ride height. No change to cooling system either as it is an exact replica of the stupid plastic bit.

Good luck with it.
I would throw some photos up but Im in Sydney and patrol is in Brizzie.
