Has anyone had any dramas with clearance regarding their exhaust on a 3ltr Turbo Diesel Hilux? I've noticed on
mine that a part of it hangs at in front of and about the same level as the transfer case and doesn't have a bash plate to protect it.
Would it pay to have a bash plate made up for it or would I then have to worry about vegetation getting caught and set alight as it gets fairly hot.
Has anyone done anything about it?

G'day Raymond.
I just went out and had a look at
mine. I see what you're saying, and agree a bash plate would be handy - but I also agree with your comment about trapped vegetation and fire risk - and I think that is a bigger drama than the potential to smack an exhaust pipe!
So
mine will be staying just the way it is (I hope!!) and I'll just be aware that my exhaust is vulnerable at that point.
Enjoy your 'Lux.Cheers, Jim

G'day Jimbo,
I agree with you regarding the risk of fire outweighing the need for a bash plate. I was just wondering if anyone has considered the issue and come up with an alternative.
