Copied from my Facebook reply:
I have got the following from JimnyBits:
Fuel filter guard
Transfer Box guard
Rock Sliders
Front Recovery points
Rear Recovery points
Can't really say the added weight has made a noticeable difference, but if you were to fit it all in one go you might notice. Mine has been fitted one at a time over the last 12 months.
No change in average mpg either.
The Transfer box guard does lower clearance slightly, but I would rather hit that the the box itself, same with the sliders.
To add to this, I am going to get the radius arm guards and that will be it for me guard wise i think.

I have thought about cutting the front one off, I did give it a scrape last time I went out on the lanes. But then I though "If I leave it in place it might act as a pre-warning you're about to hit something?"
Just my way of looking at it, I might change my mind in the future though.

Thanks for everybody's comments. Think I will go with the transfer case and the radius arm guards for now at least. Looking forward to 1 week 4x4 trip through the Pyrenees in May hence why I am looking at adding some under body protection.
