    Rear Quarter Damage - Bar Protection Options?

    So I bent my 110 rear quarter panel on a steep rock climb on the weekend. It's the exact same damage as I did on the 90 last year. It occured from a sharp departure angle so basically hit from below.
    My question is what has anyone else done for protection around this area?




    I know there's options like the bar below but I can't see them holding much weight when hit hard.

    I'm going to get Mulgo rear bumperettes. Apparently there the only ones that fit without modification if you have a wheel carrier.

    Mulgo Bumperette (pair) | Buy 4x4 Land Rover Toyota Nissan Accessories and Parts Online Store | Expedition Centre Australia by Mulgo

    They come highly recommended on this forum.

    We sell the Shadow brand, they are probably the best quality defender product on the market, and you can have a version for spare wheel carriers.

    I don't have a 110, but i do have a 90 coming and I will be fitting a set of the Shadows.

    Mine aren't specifically made for what caused your damage...mainly for sticks thrown up, roos & the odd reversing in scrub mishap. I used existing holes in the chassis rear & welded a bracket on the back of the steps. It really gets more use walking on for roof access, and resting stuff from the fridge on when looking for a beer.

    Cheers

    I have the terra firma bumperettes. No rear wheel carrier on my vehicle.

    Haven't had any big crunches to date, so as yet untested

    I've already posted a photo in my thread about my vehicle "Agnes".

    Can you provide some more information. When I posted earlier this year the only responses I received where in relation to Mulgo bumperettes fitting with the Rijidij rear wheel carrier.

    Wow they look like a solid setup. I'm sure that would give good protection especially from the side. Have you connected the front to the chassis?
