Most I ever had was a sump guard and some MTR's even for the toughest scenarios.

IMO the best way to make it a proper off-roader is to understand that fundamentally it already is a proper off-roader and the best investment you can make is to get yourself on some D3\4 specific level 1 & 2 LR courses to learn how to make the best use of it's technology. Thumbs Up

Did someone say sump guard? She’s saying “Go on then, tickle my tummy.”.

An excellent set of bars they are too. Mine are almost 3 years old, and not a hint of corrosion Thumbs Up
