    D110 - Alloy checker plate install

    G'day Guys,

    The only place I could source the silver anodized chequer plate was in the UK, so had to wait for a visitor to bring them over - HAND LUGGAGE!!!!

    These came from Rebel 4x4 in the UK - well know suppliers of LR Bling

    I first of all placed the plate on the guard and marked where all the holes need to be drilled:



    Drilled out the panel to slightly bigger than the stainless bolts I got from the local boat shop:



    Cut out the radio Ariel hole:



    Bit of black Sikaflex and bolt them all on



    NOICE bit of bling



    Enjoy

    Well if your fenders aren't hard enough, I reckon you're going to need them.



    Cheers

    They do not just add bling, but are great for standing on when tying down roof racks, as a ladder (to reach heights) and as protectors when working, not to mention great tables.
    Anodised from th UK??? Why not just get polishe aluminium checkerplate. Available cheap by the sheet. But you will have to cut to suit.

    I have had them on all my series landies including the bonnet.

    Adds lots of strength to them ( I made mine myself as I work for a laser cutting company )
