I've got the Ironman underbody, it is just completely flat and seems to be wider than the ARB bash so I guess the positives are...
1. More protection?? but required protection??
2. More "slide ability" when bottoming out? or on recovery??
However I have recently been looking at changing over to the ARB underbody, because I have found that I am gathering a heap of crap ontop of the underbody protection (when offroad... E.G. Snow and Mudding.)..... There is nowhere for it to get out and their is no air movement that helps move it along.
I prefer the look of the ARB kit, it looks as though it has a smaller surface area and more holes for the crap to get out...
So it's either "manage" the existing issues with a good underbody clean out after every trip or change over to ARB.
Waste more $$ and spend more $$.....So it is down the list a little.....
Barry, the pictures look good. I think you have made the right purchase.. good stuff.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I was kind of hoping you would all be commenting on my new tyres
not the bash plate I had put on six months ago. LOL But anyway all good and I'm happy with everything I've bolted onto my wagon so far.

Haven't gone off road yet mate but they are a little noisier but after a run up the highway the noise levels may have dropped a fraction with some kays on them. They do take a little extra braking to stop. The most surprising thing I've found is how soft the ride is with 38 pound in them. Thats what the tyre shop put in them and I thought they where a little soft so I checked out of curiosity and 38 felt great. If I ran 38 in the old grandtreks it was like driving on solid tyres.Originally posted by Hutch View Post
I'll let you know how they go in dirt after the weekend.Comment

Hey Barry,
Just wondering if you have a better picture of the air con bracket you made up?
I like the idea of that spotGeoff
Im not Bogged - I've just lost traction. . . . . and now I'm showing the wife why I bought those Maxtrax, and the tyre deflator, and the compressor, and the bullbar, and the winch, and a lot of other goodies I've hidden in the PradoComment
