Plain Tank Guard
« on: September 28, 2007, 22:05:14 »
Hi all

I need a plain tank guard for my 300 Tdi.  No drop plate, demountable bits or recovery points.

Whats out there and for how much?  I would like cheap but am willing to pay for quality.

I've done a fair bit of 'googling', 'ebaying', etc. etc. but they're not all that easy to find.

I've added a poll with most of the ones I've found to see which is the most popular.

Piccies, reviews, comments, cheapest suppliers, etc. all appreciated :D

Cheers
Ralph

I have a southdown one, which is very good, i also the recovery eye on it, i think Spence's is basically the same as this one, but with the bolus that if you speak to him, he would be able to add one recovery point just for good meaure, without the demountable stuff....

It'd be crazy to not have at least one decent recovery point.....
gone from 200tdi.... to 300tdi... still with loads done to it, in fact, even more than the last truck...LOL!!!

Don't worry recovery point will be in place via a discoparts receiever hitch fitted in rear bumper.

Simmonites - they were the spec for the Camel Trophy motors and I must say, they do a cracking job of loking after the "rear overhang" on a Disco 1

Guardian for me.  One hell of a piece of kit.  Modelled on the Southdown one, only with sides as well.  You have to slide off a Discoparts HD bumper to fit it, and it's a 2-man job.  :wink:

Here's mine.

Southdown with all the options including tow plate with Nato hitch and recovery hitch as shown.




Expensive but it has taken enough knocks to justify the cost.
