I've seen before someone who got a massive sheet of steel and covered the underside of a vitara with it :)

I have a transferbox guard and that's it, all you really need on an SJ IMO

Now that I've raised the transferboxes for a flat belly I might make a flat bottom for it now though. Not for protection, just to help the sj 'slide' over things.

Thing is I've got dual transferboxes so it's a bit different :brows:

But there is this floating about, you weld it to the existing mounts and then add a bit of extra bracing to the existing mounts.
