HOLY crap!! looks good but what are you planing to hit?

Only prob is see with it is that dif guard is going to act like a shovel when u reverse in the mud and if you hit a rock it might tear the whole lot off!!

What he said

My $0.02

I like the look and concept of those guards, I really do.

But I agree with others, backing off somthing will be bad!

Also, and the reason I wont be fitting this style and sticking with a conventional guard is that you have lost about 2" of clearance under the axle tubes.

This is the place I rely on to allow me to hop over a small rock etc.... that would otherwise hit the pumpkin.

Looks nice though!!!

Shure its not armour plating in case you hit a land mine??

Looks good though.

Crump,
Looks good. They have changed a little. I currently have one fitted to my LRTD5Def05, had it also on my 300TDi. Guys are right it sometimes gets caught reversing. Had this happen only once where I thought I was actually caught on the rear diff. But for the amount of protection it offers I think it far out weighs the negatives. As for clearance I really haven't had to many issue. Good product by Troutbeck.

I think you would stuff the mounts way before you did any damage to the axle housing, I imagine thats gonna make a bit of noise, and around then I'll realise its time to retreat, and the 2" lift is not far away. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

you made it far to easy 8) 8)

[DaveS3]

That thing is huge.

Looks great but far to big to be practical - clearance is everything and is normally an advantage to Rovers over other models https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Looks strong though 8) No steering damage for you!

Hi Crump
Thats some nice fabrication,I assume its alloy by the pics.
That sort of work probably isnt too cheap.What sort of $$$ did it cost??
I really like the look of their work
