Anyone made their own bash plates for D22?

Has anyone made their own bash plates for the d22? Would love to see some pics.

I know they can be bought but I think you could make them better customised, and cheaper also.

I have TJM guards, I wouldn't buy them again. A mate has just bought a D22 and we are going to copy and improve on the TJM ones. They aren't difficult to make. Will get dimensions and crap eventually if you can wait a little while.

I made one out of checkplate, I think it looks good, it only took me and a mate about 1 hour to knock it up. I will try and get some pics this weekend. As for cost I couldnt tell you as I got the checkerplate from a mate, but I believe the peice I used was probably worth about $400. I have a fair size peice left over, I think I will try to make a smaller bash plate for the back of the gearbox.

That would be fantastic mate if you could do that!
Do you have the sump guard? or just the main one at the front?

I've got the sump/diff guard and the gearbox guard. Gearbox is very straightforward but the front diff/sump guard has a few tricky bends. Will take plenty of photos and dimensions when we do the job.

This is what I've got.

[ben85]

There plenty scratched up now mate don't worry. That was straight after I fitted them. I probably need to repaint them actually.

 

[ben85]

Pic is working now. They look ok.

oh yours are painted? mine are that gold coloured super alloy 5 coating. maybe thats why you had trouble fitting them when mine went on easy, its very strange that they are different.

added: hehe just came to me, you probably just sprayed them yourself before fitting

 

[heata]

any tips on fitting? I just got some the brown davis one, and hope to fit it friday afternoon before toolangi.

Do the tjm sump and transfer fit the 2009 model navara???

 

[heata]

tjm, said they dont, but supplied the brown davis for the same price that brown davis would supply...

 

[RustyNav09]

But brown davis is only a sump and front diff plate. They don't do a transfer gearbox plate like tjm. I'm after both plates to save me big bills
