2011 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SW Santorini Black

fitting font runner steering guard (steel)

hey guys...

anyone here fitted a front runner steering guard to a defender...? the black steel type...?

i just received one in the mail and well i guess i figured it would just bolt on... seeing as it says its made for the defender!!

after looking at it, it lines up with nothing hole wise.... and looks like i have to drill four holes, two on the existing tube steering guard and two in the bumper...

so... just checking anything i should know/be wary about...? seems straight forward...ish

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...

'Wow...! What a ride!

I went to the factory store the other day where they are made here in SA. I asked about it. Lady told me holes has to be drilled. So you are right on the money.

I'd like to know if there is any real advantage (apart from the weight) in getting the Alli ones?

That doesn't make sense. Mine fitted without any holes needing to be drilled, but it was not a black one. --

yep.... that'd be why then

the black steel one needs fitting the ali one bolts straight on... Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...
