There is a mob in Qld 4WD I think - do a search for parabolic on this forum and you'll find them.

Thank you Diana,

I've been sort of leaning toward those, yet just want to be reassured that the rears won't present too big of an issue with potential snagging on tree branches etc, due to the protruding lower leaf.

It's not that I really expect to be doing any hardcore offroading, given the condition of the vehicle, so yeah, I'll probably order a set. Ride isn't really an issue in a Land Rover is it?

I just got in from giving it a coat of Carlack 68 polish, it came up pretty good. If the weather stays reasonable, it'll get another coat tomorrow.

Big job. But worth it.
