Hi,
been thinking about steering guards this week, anyone got any thought,s on them. I havnt seen many series landy,s with them on and what i did see i thought looked a bit pants but our greenlanning is getting more and more "challenging" and i dont fancy ****ing my steering arms.
cheers
Dave

Better off getter heavy duty steering rods than steering guard, all they do is reduce clearance and act as a plough.
I've never had an issue with steering rods off road, they're well tucked away.
More of an issue on Defenders.

I fitted one to mine and it's been well used! I've never got stuck from it grounding out but I fitted it so it's level with the springs. I think if it wasn't fitted I would have bent the steering rods but I do some pretty serious offroading so it's worth it's weight in gold.
