That's actually a pretty good price. I looked around at a lot of truck shops before I bought them.

I am too and I think D4D is right, ebay seems to be the [the best] going rate.

As Big Jules I got some guards from Goldstream they are now a fair bit dirter ... more a brown colour.

With the goldstream there is a fair bit of plumbing underneath (tanks, gas lines ect ) Looking at the pictures of the stone stomper I'm not sure weather it would protect them as well

My camper has a similair front setup as standard and I have added the Stonestomper for additional protection. Its amazing the sheer amount of "rock spray" that you can see in your mirrors coming from under the vehilce and camper.



But even with both sets of protection, the underside of my camper looked like it had been hit with a sandblaster. The suspension swingarms have been stripped of their paint coating and its obvious everything underneath has been sprayed with gravel. But everything has metal stoneguards or some form of protection so no damage.

The point being is that even with all that protection, there is still a huge potential for damage and the components need to be up to it, as they will be hit if you travel on gravel roads. Any exposed plastic pipes will need protection and unlikely to survive if in the line of fire (without shielding).

Yea, I've been looking for ages.. thus why I dont have any yet...
its that or if I can find some conveyor belt stuff.. used to deliver massive rolls of it in containers to Milpera years ago... that stuff would rock.. maybe even too stiff though.

I made one for the old Triton out of conveyor belt off of a rock crusher, its at least 10mm thick and plenty flexable and because its reinforced it will handle anything you (or the tyres) can throw at it.

Now I just need to modify the mount on the support bar to suit the new MN Triton.

If you contact your local quarry (or if you know someone who works in a quarry/mine even better) they may sell you some old conveyor belt, we get it regularly at work for placing under track machines to avoid damage to the concrete at the workshop and road sufaces on site, these machines are 30+ tonne so it will put up with an absolute hiding.
