According to this man it's an easy job - although I'm leaving mine in place as I quite like it. Have taken a look at the video and also had a look at the car/cage and it looks like the Average Joe could undertake the job with little problem!

I watched and listened, to the video from Bob 1050 concerning removal of the guard from his commercial Jimny and I was surprised as to the amount of noise generated when he closed the doors - side and rear - in comparison to my own Gen.4. Yes, I have fitted a sound reduction kit and yes it has made a big difference but hearing that metallic clang reinforces my view that a decent sound reduction kit will work wonders.

l've never had an issue with noise in our SZ5. Also l've not noticed any door clanging when slammed.
Noise levels are fine unless you drive it flat out, which we never do.
Best cruising speed seems to be 65mph

I based my comment on listening to the sound as the doors on the LCV being closed and comparing it with my own SZ5 which has sound deadening panels applied to various areas. I am still convinced that the panels have made a considerable reduction to generated noise levels.
