it was not just a bolt up up job you need a angle grinder the front steering protector would not fit untill i ground a little off the bull bar mount maybe 5mm
the diff steering protector wouldnt fit a slight grind where the sway bar should connect to the diff which i dont have sway bars so no probs
this is what sschmez should have after our trip last week:p

oh and also the bolts that go thru the radius arms had to be taken out and put in from the outer side of the radius arms so as the thread is on the inside:D

Weird, my steering guard bolted straight on, and the axle guard I had to oxy off the brackets on the axle housing, what year Fender is yours? Note to self read the signature before you ask stupid questions, my guess, its a 95.

Like the way you've filled in the lettering. I got the same kit from Len last week, haven't put it on as yet.
Also got some JATE rings to go in the front.

I've seen a few of the steering protectors (Not necessarily Lens ones though) bend the side brackets after the vehicle got hung up, but it is easy to bend them back with a crow bar. In this instance, it was bent right up to touch the steering drop arm, and was difficult to turn the wheel. It wasn't a problem to lever it down again and carry on, and just think of the damage to the steering box had the vehicle perched on the drop arm!!! A good bit of armour to fit me thinks. Take a good sized crow bar with you in case you need some 'adjustment'.
