We had an unusual request recently... to make a bash plate to protect the underside of a surf from a sheet of 6mm Ally.
After considering the options, Tony decided that the best bet was to cut and shape the metal to attach to the front cross member and the rear cross member, replacing the existing (thin) plate over the transfer case and finishing just in front of the plating covering the diesel tank. Then the existing front bash plate covering the sump was refitted (and will probably be replaced at a later date (Rusty on the Hilux Surf forum (see links) makes these up out of ally))
Here's some pics of the finished item (the edges still need to be bent up but we didnt have the right tools at the time).
Also you might notice that the side steps disappeared whilst "Lickit" was at our place...
Theres also an "interesting item" which was found bolted to the gearbox cross member - any ideas what it is - please email us!!
