JST Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Does anyone know where you can get rear quarter protectors that are incorporated into the rear bumperette style protectors - that dont cost a fortune! i am after some HD ones that wrap around the side of the vehcile after coming off the rear crossmember - similar to the d4x4 ones that they build into their rear crossmembers. i may resort to making some as the prices seem to be ridiculus!

Turbocharger Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 TroddenMasses bought a pair of these, I don't think they were Devon 4x4's but I do remember thinking they were expensive. They also looked to me like they could funnel mud against the body panel, damaging it even more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Bearmach - £60pr. Good quality as well. Alternatively, save money by not hitting things! Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I've got some like this: Think they were from Paddocks at Sodbury for £85. As far as I can tell they're the same as Scorpion etc. sell, but at least £50 cheaper! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 i dont hit things normally its just trees and earth seem to be attracted to the rover then they hit me. at least my light lenses aren't £30 a set!!! as per the other thread. i was thinking of something to protect the sides and stop the frail ali skin flapping around and getting caught. i dont really want to reduce the amount i coudl reverse into a bank (or earth) by something sticking out too far so looking for a nice compact design. i think for £85 i will conside making something bespoke, as for £50 on top of that - forget it i cant even see them from my seat so i ain'yt paying that much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dasterdly Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 hello, maybe lashing two tyres together with a length of rope slung over the landy would suffice...seems to work on tugboats, mind you, cant remember seeing many trees in the sea.. cheers...

white90 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 those protectors would concern me. Land on them ala Bampton riverbed you'd bend the crossmember. it put pay to my exhaust twice so far and that was tucked well out of the way(obviously not enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_wuffles Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 You know what the real answer is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I'll have this custom rear crossmember for sale shortly if your interested. Made from 5mm and only been on for a couple of months. It goes round the side to protect the rear tub. Sits about 1 inch higher than standard. Only been on for 1 off road trip, decided to do something different to the back of it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Rod, cheers for the thought but my x-member has just been changed so i will run with it for the time being. Tony- good point that , this needs some more thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Marshall Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 i think for £85 i will conside making something bespoke, as for £50 on top of that - forget it Found this guy on Ebay - protectors look v well made and much much cheaper than from Scapiron.
