They can anchor you on something which is a downside but also protect at the same time.
I like the protection there if I need it not because I intend to need it, this goes especially for diff guards.

Ever seen what tends to happen to the rad and intercooler etc if you have a guard like that and have to be recovered backwards out of deep mud?

As long as it not lower as the front axle it is not a big problem. At least that is my experience with my Camel Discovery. Roel

1984 90 2.5 na Diesel - RR V8 (1994-2001)
1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009)
2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts.

Well not today but yesterday and day before!

Drove from home to work, for a full days work, then work to Canterbury to pick up my Girlfriends final uni work. Overnight stop over in Canterbury then from Canterbury to Tonbridge fully loaded with steel sculptures, then Tonbridge to Canterbury with empty boxes via Ashford, then back from Canterbury to Tonbridge fully loaded with half of the contents of her room. Which if anyone is wandering is from the floor to the roof, from behind the drivers seat to the back door! (with a slam)

Overall 262 miles of driving, averaging 36mpg, all without skipping a beat.

Yes jackable sills mate. The landy did have a black canvas tilt which looked great but I thought i'd give this a go and i'm quite pleased with it i think it looks good myself.
