    Ironman gear has been on my rig for a fair while now and been put through its paces. I have touched it up with some black spray paint a few times thats about it. It is pretty dented but holds up well. Rate it highly

      AJ's wife just saw this post. She is heavily sedated after a very traumatic 3 hours. We have had to remove all sharp objects from the house. Her doctor fears she may try to take her own life or that of your wife.

      AJ fears she may actually find your wife and drop him off permanently. (so she is free of him, no other insinuation should be placed on that comment). He thinks his wife got stressed that she has missed the opportunity....

        I was just looking at bash plates too, I don't think mine will last another removal for the service.. needed a lot of encouragement last time they were off..

        quoted about

        $400ish for TJM
        $360 for Ironman
        $500+ for Brown Davis

        was thinking TJM, any ideas?

        anyone tried these:

            bushskinz is good gear but that is just the front guard, add the other 2 guards and like arb it is a lot more expensive. not sure about the others but the ironman comes with all 3 thats why I went down that route, I believe its good value for money

              The Bushskinz are at least 1mm thicker than the Ironman plates (4mm vs 3mm/2.5mm as per quoted specs). I have the Ironman ones on my 150 but will be going Bushskinz next time as the Ironman ones have bent too easily.

                Thickness of steel is only one part of he strength equation, a thinner (lighter) bash plate made out of a higher grade steel may well be stronger, cheap plates are likely made out of cheap steel......... Just sayin!

                  Must have doubled its value then.

                    Yeah this is true, but the extra weight of 4mm plates all round is a lot of weight

                      Let's take for example 3mm steel in the 2 commonly available grades. The higher grade is 40% stronger than the lower grade.

                      Then compare 3mm and 4mm in the same lower grade. The 4mm is 33% stronger than the 3mm.

                      So a 3mm in a higher grade is 7% stronger than a 4mm in the lower grade. Then there is the extra weight issue of the thicker material...

                          I see these plates flat out, & in my commercial personal experience any of the 3mm plates I have seen are ok for light offroad.
                          Yes they will protect, but They are usually distorted & very difficult to get bolts back in, after service.

                          The BUSHSKINZ 4mm plate for the 120 is an absolute ripper!!!!!!!!
                          It is one of the best design & strongest toughest bash plate I see on Prados to say the least.
                          $379? On eBay. The electroplating looks great too. Long lasting tough, no rust.
                          Other plates are painted & scratch & rust easily.

                          Mine has been hammered for years & has not got a dint in it, merely lots of scrapes, it tested & proven.
                          Kieron is very hard to get a hold of & it's not helping his business, but he makes the best plate for the 120!
                          If you buy off eBay you will get it!

                          That's my $400 worth!!!

                            Bushskinz being hard to get hold of is true, been trying to contact for almost two weeks! I am looking for buy for a trip to the Simpson in four weeks. I have sent emails and messages on FB, might have to look into something else soon as time will fly buy.

                              I might ring arb about mine as the rear plate has bent and is touching exhaust in that area, apart from that they have been good

                                My Bushskinz plates arrived today so will be able to compare the weight and thickness with the Ironman equivalents soon.
