Armour plate was created by Lambert
Hi all. I know I usually shy away from bolted on guards and such for various reasons including it being a mud trap and also reducing available clearance etc, which I do stand by however I have very nearly ripped my transfer box wires out on a twig. I didn't see the rest of it as I touched the end with a tyre and it twisted up into the prop and made a really alarming noise. Anyway. The plate from Jimny bits, that covers the transfer box, is theirs as good as any or are there others worth investigating?

Thank you in advance.

I felt very much as you do about weight and avoided guards until.....

I damaged my 4L switch and lost it's use, I had to miss a few laning trips because of it. I fitted the JB bash plate and am pleased, it has already got a few dinks on it after only a couple of days out.

Worth it's weight...

Fair enough. I think I have had a lucky escape. Is it payday yet?

I think if you were to buy just one bit of protection it would be the transfer box guard, got the jimny bits one all good few scrapes and dinks, but it's one of those things that you won't buy alot of so very hard to compare with others
