I have the APT steering guard as well, just bolted right up there easy as, no fuss, no modifications or swearing or anything. Nice piece of equipment.

The track rod however is not shielded by the steering guard because it's behind the front axle - stick ur head under the car and check it out. Seems to be the weak point under the defender. Even with the APT steering guard, I bent my track rod. I'm replacing both the track rod and drag link with upgraded APT units.

Any protection items like that I see as sacrificial.
Id much rather scratched paint on a protection plate than broken suspension and steering parts!

I've got a fist sized ding in the fuel cooler guard plate (pete simpson's one), and also have some scuffing on the steering guard. Things like that reassure me that they are paying for themselves.

Defender fuel Cooler???? where is that????

Yes. Could we have a pic please Mitch?

APT sells them, the link has photos

I could kick myself into Christmas for not Finding APT before I started tacking stuff to Biddy. :(

My Defender spent a day in it's first week in Brizzie at APT, and ended up on his Facebook page ;) But im running out of things to add :(

This feels a bit like hijacking Mitch's thread but I could see myself staying a few days in Brisie with my brother in Wynnum, whilst Biddy had a holiday at APT.

It's actually (and probably refreshing) for many readers knowing that I'm not the only one who talks in this thread!

Definitely consider it Billy.

Thread details for the fuel guard are below. There is a good pic of the fuel cooler as well.

As you can see only protects the front end - nothing behind the diff or the diff itself.
