freeways latitude bash plates

[AndyCook]

anyone seen or fitted these?
They are similar price to ASFIR, but 8mm aluminium not 6mm as ASFIR is - no idea of grade though.

one thing i found out, is there is no overlap between the front and gearbox plates - there is a 20cm gap

Have you ordered/received these yet? Would like to know if you are satisfied with them...

No - I am going for the ASFIR front one to replace my strengthened factory guard - which turns out not to be that strengthened - 4mm alu treadplate bolted to the factory one
keeping my DIY gear/transfer plate though
cant be bothered to spend time/energy fabricating my own steel one for front.

pros of asfir:
its a bit cheaper (when you factor in VAT/duty/shipping)
it is known to fit OK and known quality
I have seen pictures of it so know what to expect
it will overlap my DIY transfer/gear bash plate -( the freeways one has a 20cm gap between the front and gear/transfer plates - but they say the gap is in a location where transmission is far above the gap)

pros of freeways:
its 8mm thick vs the 6mm of asfir

however, I know someone who may be ordering a freeways one, so will let you know what its like

Well I have the ASFIR ones on LB and must say that they are strong, even ar 6mm. I have managed to dent the front plate (don't ask) and to be honest I am not sure how I could have wacked it any harder, so on that basis the 8mm freeways one seems a bit OTT.

Also I do like the fact that the ASFIR ones overlap, with the middle section going in under the front one, which means it can't hook onto anything.
