As do www.safari-equip.co.uk

And http://www.southdown4x4.co.uk - which is also a tank guard.

I had a Southdown tank guard with detachable tow pack.
Nice and strong, even when towing the caravan

Got mine from discoparts nice guy on the the phone with super fast delivery but when it turned up not one of the suppled bolt fitted it was recommended by them the longer drop plate because of my 2inch lift when i managed to get it fitted the drop plate was about 15in from the ground which would of been fun with the van on the back over speed humps it was more like a plough so that had to be cut before i used it and it does not end there got it all on and was ready to go when i realised the anti-rattle nut welded to the top was to far away and was doing nothing so we had to cut that one off and re-weld another one closer and all this was done 2 days before it was due to be used so i was not best pleased with them and i dont think i would use them again unless they bought some new tape measures.

hi mate i do have to agree with you i am happy with the finished item now but getting hold of an allen key bolt at 9.30pm the night before you need the car can be a little bit tricky :evil:  but at least it is all sorted now

I've got the SOuthdown one, brilliant if heavy.  Yes it rattles a bit when towing but TBH the noseweight of a trailer should keep it quiet.  I find the twin axle car trailer the worst.  I don't worry about the caravn any more, that's what the LSE is for.

But the Southdown style tank guard gets my vote.

I have a Guardian one, I've not fitted it yet but it looks a superb bit of kit and the service from Spence was second to none.

I've got the guardian one fitted.

Great piece of kit, well made and solid. It doesn't rattle at all, and is easily strong enough as a recovery point and tow hitch :wink:
