Thread: Underside protection - how much?

I have a Frontrunner steering guard and that's it. Good thing too, after the last trail we did I saw it got banged up with a nasty dent

General consensus is steering and fuel cooler guards will be sufficient

My Td5 has steering and front diff guards.

I took the rear guard off when I installed the long range tank, really to remind myself I need to be careful. Anything that would hit the rear diff will rip the tank off!

Entreq only sells directly from Germany. Their products are absolutely superb, but with that level of engineering and finish goes a premium price tag!

I've looked at some of their finishers and trim items (small and light) and the parcel service is rudely expensive...

Hi Lou,

Have you checked recently? I'd been eyeing off the rear mudguard brackets (for a 110) for some time but held off due to their freight costs. I emailed to ask if this was changing any time soon and was told it was imminent. I kept checking their site and finally bought once I spotted the new shipping option. $8 IIRC.

BTW, I highly recommend those reinforcing brackets. Great, simple bit of kit.

Cheers,

James

Hi JC,

I was looking at some of their finishings (stainless steel cover strips) to finish off the new matting system I had ordered. I've not been on their site for a while though!

The matting worked out more expensive than I initially anticipated (heavy with associated airfreight cost), so the "pretty stuff" will have to wait for a bit.

I'll definitely keep and eye on that though as I'd imagine the strips would be tubed and even if it takes 2 to 3 weeks it would be $8.00 well spent!

Cheers,

Lou

Any chance of some pics? I tore my rear mudflaps off a couple of times recently and am looking for bracing options.

I won't be able to get you a photo for a few weeks, but I've just taken another look at Entreq's site and they've got a couple of good shots on there. I'm sure they won't mind me pinching their photo as it will likely drum up custom anyway:

Hi Lou,

Make that $3 and change (see below), when I purchased back in Feb 2012.

However, I just spotted something small (probably a bit smaller than what I bought last time) and tried to check out and shipping came to 55 Euros!

I think I'll e-mail them again...
