I was about to send Spence at Guardian a PM to thank him for the tank guard and drop plate that I bought from him last week, but then I though, Why do it privately??

So, Spence, Thank you very much for the excellent service I recieved, the guard is just what I wanted and went on easy.

I must admit I hadn't thought about how it fitted :oops: so when I realised that I needed to take the bumper off I thought  :roll: (thats the polite version) But the bumper came of easily, then it was the grinder to get the tow bar off :twisted: a bit of a clean up and a spray with schutz then use a trolley jack with a board on it to position it.

I did need to get a 110mm bolt for one side at for some reason the guard was sitting slightly to one side (my supplier did a straight swap with me :D ) but once the nut was on it pulled over nicely :wink:

then it was tighten up, replace bumper and roberts your mothers brother.

Very good solid piece of kit, I'd recomend it to anyone.

have you put the bolts in the side of that one? doesnt look ;ike it in the picture, please double check for me.
the tow hitch is low, it had 2" lift in mind minimum when drawn up, but i have often wondered if i could loose the bottom set of holes, and have it a bit shorter.
you can guarantee, i change it and the next person will say i want one BUT!
anyhow, cheers folks, go smash some rocks :twisted:  :twisted:
