Thread: Diff Guard or Shovel?

Thats a rear one, not front (I dont understand rear diff guards, they are always a compromise of ground clearance, just incase you back into somthing). If that was installed on the front, the panhard would hit it.

Do you guys make one for the front too?

Edit, i just saw the 2nd pic. that thing hangs down below the axle tube a bit doesnt it?

Right that's a rear one.
Like you i don't understand people who install a certain type of diff guards at the rear (maybe they're running backward )
That one protects even forward.

Yep the front diff guard may not suit european offroaders requirements who mainly run in mud. It's more a rock guard for the Atlas in Morocco.

I may adapt the rear diff guard unit to the front with some work.

Hey Andy, Just cuirious... have you got any more pic's to share yet? Interested to see how the snorkel and sliders are coming along? Also wondering if you will be making an adapter for the HRA bash plate for those that don't have a HRA bar to attach it to? Dave & pig

Andy's probably in bed by now... he's an early riser... I'm an owl.

Snorkel is finally off to the fabricator for first pre-prod model for my car yes, there will be pics coming.

Sliders are still bits of metal lying on the ground and holes marked in the chassic for drilling mounting points. Deciding whether the plastic trim stays or goes a this stage.

Bash plate adapted to the HRA bar is the priority, then we can look at a standard bar plate.

The problem with making a bash plate for a P38 with a standard bar is that we don't have one any more unless Andy buys another wreck to play with.

I guess we shouldn't have too many problems finding a volunteer in Sydney with a standard bar, however that pool is drying up as our mates with P38's in Sydney are swapping over to the HRA bars

Adjustable front and rear panhard rods are coming too, as is a rear anti-sway bar. Front adjustable panhard rod is on my car at the moment for testing with the lift kit.

Cheers, Paul.

Those are not made in India like Defender's


BTW, the 10% discount and special export priceworks on rangerovers.net bulletin board but also here

I am sure there are Indians who can weld as well as French people?

Thats a new way of storing the BBQ plate
Sorry, I'm a little disillusioned on that one.
I find some diff guards are great crud collectors

To be honest, i don't like it either but if you go under a P38 you'll understand why nobody makes guards for those. On the front we have that sway bar so nothing standard fits.
