Hi All,
With so many people here with experience in overlanding I would be
interested in your views on body protection for your TLC. I'm not
really interested in the underbody side of things, just protection from
side/front/rear impacts.
Ignoring any winch or jacking requirements, is it worth having a re-
inforced front bumper? I guess it's a case of what is the likelyhood
of you being hit by other vehicles or hitting wildlife whilst
travelling across Africa?
How about re-inforced rear bumpers?
What about sliders?
If you go the whole hog you could end up with re-inforced front and
rear bumpers, sliders as well as wing protectors running from the bull
bar on the front down to the sliders, but this a hell of a lot of
weight to carry around so is it really necessary for your average trans
African trip?
I know it is a case of personal preference, but I welcome your views
particularly from those with experience from driving in various parts
of Africa.
