Rasta4x4 diff / axle guard was created by SPC5838
Has anyone heard of this lot or know any stockists ? Only UK dealers I can find are for their Land Rover stuff :huh: The bolt on diff / axle guard looks like a good bit of kit. Feeling the need to add to the stash of bits in the shed for when the weather improves ! ( sod working outside just now, never got above -4 here today, -10 this morning :pinch: ) Roll on spring !!

Nice one mckay :) the jimny this ones attached to in the pics was prepped and is based in spain apparently despite UK reg plates, so guess be looking for stockists there... it's apparently used for expeditions and only has really basic ( but top of the range makers ) mods. Also answers a few questions about lifts / tyre size on stock rims and good pics, so could be handy for a few peeps. For anyone that's interested;

www.expeditioportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49381

That jack looks bloody lethal by the way :ohmy: did they run over an axle stand to come up with that thing lol !

Sorry link doesn't seem to work but address is correct :blink: ?? Help !

OK the link's an epic fail.. :blush: Google image search " Jimny on 215 75 15 tyres " and click on the image at the top of this, it's right near the top of the search. It'll take you to page 5 of the article, page 4 is where the things spec is and detailed photos / explanation of each stage on the pages after that. Pain in the butt that was :angry:

Cheers for that Darth. Thats a much more realistic price, less chance of the missus throwing a major epie with £248 on the credit card than probably a grand odds for the rasta job.

The Asfir one doesn't look quite as solid but no doubt it'd do the job, it's U bolt attached instead of picking up on the suspension arm bolts from the pics ? I've got a bit of a phobia about weld on jobs since saw on here about diffs getting knackered. I assume the rasta one has other mounting points that can't see in the pics. Mind you, for the price of the thing, I'd be expecting it to shatter boulders and not just brush them off ;) Still really like the look of it but I've probably got " shiny shiny " syndrome again :blush: . It is very nice... :unsure:
