Thank you for the comment, metal was the reason over the plastic ones. Searched for over a year before I found these nice people in the UK. I believe I paid 150$ USD pre tax/shipped. https://seaa.co.uk/store/ is their general site. They seem to be a security type accessory company. Just email BEFORE checkout as shipping options are not to the USA. Just as a heads up.

Thanks for the information. I will definitely be getting a set of these in the near future. I checked out their website and I also like the rear light guards. The plastic ones really don't provide too much protection and I think if they got hit with much of anything they would break.

Put her through the paces yesterday. Did some snow-wheeling and got stuck a bunch.
Eventually left the disco on the trail to be picked up when we went back down, and rode with my buddy. Just wasn't enough clearance in the snow ruts. Need like 35's at least.
My buddy had to leave the Bronco with chains as well and rode as well.

You probably know this, but always keep the cam and lifters the same age. New cam and new lifters or old cam and old lifters, never mix old cam with new lifters or new cam with old lifters due to wear characteristics.

Replaced drivers door lock pin. Now, I can lock the gray rover and it opens without pulling downward on the handle.
