I can recommend the Disco Parts one.
Nice and strong, good mounting and doesn't look that different to the original.  :wink:

If I had a Disco that would be the top of my list.  Just wish I could find one as good for the RRC :(

I *had* a Discoparts one.
Great looking bit of kit.
but...
I did manage to bend it (somewhat!) which was disapointing.

Tank Guard??
« Reply #6 on: March 06, 2007, 18:50:49 »
But what about the tank? I was wondering about getting something similar for my Disco but was worried that at the moment the 'plough' is protecting the tank.
Would anyone recommend getting a tank guard at the same time?

Scorpion Racing tank guard.
Mounts to the existing fixings, galvanised and strong.



Or, if do any towing, then go for something like the Southdown guard which had a removable tow hitch.  :wink:

I have a tubular one off a guy on ebay, not Gaurdian i might add, Spence doesn't seem to do one for the rear of a disco....

I quite like mine, it's simple, gives loads more departure angle, but i do also have a tank gaurd, so the rear's fairly well protected.... also raised the exhaust outlet too, cos it's be dangling way beloew anything else had i not moved it....

Sorry, can't seem to find any recent pics.... i'm sure they're somewhere!!

Ron, What is involved in changing the position of the exhaust outlet? I presume it is now coming out of the rear body panel somewhere between the wheel arch and the bumper?

Once I remove the rear plough I am hoping to change the exhaust too.

Right, so i've been and taken a couple of shots of mine to give you an idea of where the exhaust exits, and a brief glimpse of the bumper.....
pics taken in the dark, so not brilliant!
This one shows the exhaust exit.... just about...


This one shows the increased departure angle.....

Thanks for that Ron, will need to exit mine at the side due to the 'standard' HD bumper.
