Hello All,

I am wondering if anyone has made or knows a Company that has made a 'Complete Bash Plate' that would go from my ARB Bullbar right through to my gearbox as either one piece or two sections

This would then protect my radiator (anything coming up from under neath into the radiator), protect my steering assy, engine sump through to gearbox /transfer box - as well as allowing oils to be drained without taking plate off

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

I am not sure if you have checked with ARB, TJM and Opposite Loack who all produce under body protection.

I have TJM guards on my 100 series. it does not have holes to enable oils to be drained, I believe that it is important to remove these plates the get rid of any mud, sand and debris that collects in between services. It also means you can check or leaks etc.

There are a number of small specialist under-body protection companies but Google is possibly best for that, or a smaller sheet metal work place.

Good luck.

Hi Tony,

Yes discussed with ARB, TJM etc but they only have little gearbox protection plates

I have googled every where, but it seems the 80 series is the only one that Co. do not make full plates for

Tried our small specialist under-body protection companies here, but they all seem to think all too hard

Thanks for the follow up anyway

Chris

Talk to Bush Skinz in NSW They make bash plates or under body protection plates for many vehicles and although they do not show an *0 it is worth asking them.
