Anyone fitted a guard in front of the fuel cooler? Mine has got a lot of stone hits and some of the fins are bent. It was pointed out to me yesterday that I should consider putting some mesh or other material in front to protect the cooler.

This is what it looks like after 9000km across the wilds of WA & NT over the last 5 weeks. The fins are bent. I guess all that mud doesn't do much for the cooling effect.

I was thinking of extending the Brown Davies bash plate back to the east-west cross member with a wing up under the driveshaft to the left side. It may give a little bit of protection to the cooler plus will also look after the exposed tranny sump on my auto.Dave

Looks like the mud wasps have made a home in it!
But it certainly has made me think about fitting a guard as well.2014 Black GXL D4D Auto with a few add ons.Comment

Gunna ask the question - is this OEM? If so where does she sit? It looks like in the undercarriage behind the engine bay?Originally posted by Bushbasher View Post[FONT=Century Gothic][B][SIZE=4][URL="http://www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?36057-Ryback-s-Flinders-Red-120"][COLOR="#B22222"]'04 120 Petrol Flinders Red GXL[/URL][/COLOR][/B][/FONT][/SIZE]
