Title: ZJ Underbody protection
Post by: Jamie Read on September 30, 2012, 07:12:11 PM

Does anyone know of UK suppliers of underbody protection for a ZJ? Namely a tank guard, diff guards and steering guard.
Thanks in advance

could try llama 4x4 (http://www.llama4x4.co.uk/)or FTE (http://www.fte.co.uk/)
but they just import stuff to order
some of the guys on  here could make stuff to order
I made my own but that was due to having a long arm lift fitted

Not sure but i think a XJ sump and trans guard will fitt ??

Ok thanks, will have a look.
Out of interest, do any of those that have made their own protection have plans or diagrams that they wouldn`t mind sharing?

Had a quick look at some rough country (IIRC) diff guards, which look like they`d be fairly easy to fab. Just wondering if its tube or solid bar? I`d like to try and do it with solid bar.
What do you reckon on a steering guard and tank guard made from bar too? Would it work, or would the gaps between the bar be too much of a weakpoint?

Any thoughts welcome
