Few protection bits

[Pete38]

Not an overly informative thread, but someone might be interested.

Last I looked there was only the Terrafirma diff guards and fuel tank protector. But I couldn't source them here and shipping was damn expensive. They have been sold here but one of the places in Sydney I that had them at one stage no longer carry's them.

But it appears aptfabrications in Queensland sell rear diff guards/sliders and fuel tank guard (looks very similar to the Terrafirma one).

Have enquired about shipping costs and if they plan for more options for the P38.

Ok Ben mentioned shipping costs down to Sydney and they are quite reasonable if thrown in with other deliveries.

He also mentioned the following are in development, so to add to the tank protector and rear diff slider/guard.

I'm tempted with the steering guard and front diff guard, and possibly the rear bar depending on design and cost. Also see how much clearance loss there is with the front diff guard and steering arm. Although Ben made a comment about how it needs to hug tight so that sounds promising.

Steering guard
Front diff guard
Bullbar – airbag compliant
Rear bar with swing away
Sliders

I have a QT diff guard which I never fitted. Are they still available?

I think I bought it from Rovacraft.

Thing I'm not sold on with that design is that it sits much lower than the diff. Yes it looks like it'll protect well, but I'd be getting hung on the diffs much more as it looks like it's 2 inches below the low point of the diff. Would need to fit 36 inch tyres to pick the diffs back up to the same level.

Edit: At least it's a slider though so would less likely get "hung" I guess.

Oooh:rolleyes: I see they're just off the gateway motor way in brissy, we're going right passed there in September hopefully.
I'd only be able to pick up small stuff though.

If it's Cape York your headed to Benji, be sure to pop in to Townsville, I can take you somewhere nice for a catch-up!

We're headed back to Fraser.
