Rebel, mines their unbranded one so cheaper but just as good and get the steel one. Mine doesn't have recovery rings but was easy to fit jate rings instead (which I already had).

Hi Olly,
just FYI, you may need to make sure Jate rings can be fitted, ( if you want them, mine will not take std width Jate rings
) some steering guards use the same holes, and mean the standard jate rings will not fit. Or look for one that has recovery eyes on it, ( again if you want them).
Sarah90 did you use std forged jate rings? as yours is unbranded is it solid , or does it have holes cut in it? if so I may have to look at changing mine,
Cheers

Well , I 'll be...
fair play to you, But how did you manage that Sarah90? does the steering guard not use the same bolts as the Jates?
Jates will not go over my chassis and steering guard.:Cry:

Steel. I got one from Paddocks, took the brunt of a hit from a skip lorry and didnt deform (and neither did my chassis before you say anything!)
Also take many hits since then from rocks and the such. No damage or deformation after a year of good use.

Yep used the same bolts..just tweaked the jate rings a little as I had put them on a bit tight pre steering guard and it worked a treat
Rebel didn't have any of the branded ones in stock when I ordered and the sales lady recommended I get that one (made by them but without the name), glad I did as it was £39 plus delivery so saved me a few bob
Southdown don't make any protection anymore, shame as it was really good stuff.

I had an alloy one, it bent at the sight of mud and was useless on rocks.
Go for a steel one
West midlands 4x4 do quite an interesting one, it uses bars instead a plate so doesn't work like a plough when reversing in ruts.

Has anyone tried the Masai stuff? I like the look of the steering guard and winch bumper together

That does look interesting, similar to the one a friend of mine made to cover his steering after a 2" lift.
