bolting up the aero covers to the heat shield reduces the chance of the incursion of sticks, grass, etc into the working parts of the vehicle (drive shafts, etc.)

This is the modified undertray aero cover. It goes in-between the double armor over the transfer case.

This and the next photo show how the written instructions leave the LH side underbody. Too much stuff to capture twigs, grass, sticks etc.

The gap in the foreground is between the tank, the aero cover and the rock slider. I do not think it will sing from vibration and will hold together. We shall see. I to really likely that it closes off the heat shield, as I was concerned with the heat shield edgehooking on grass, sticks, debris and being damaged.

This is the portion which I removed from the RH aero cover. I decided NOT to bolt it into the rock slider, as I think it would reduce the sliders effectiveness and I think the final install is sufficient stiff -- we shall see.

The block round pipe protects the transfer case. The big black round vibration weight and the wire to the electronic control module (on the front of the case) is shown

This is what is underneath the Defender inscribed cover. another guard which bolts into a round bar frame around the transfer case.

This is what is visible from underneath the vehicle. You see around the F in Defender the results of rock strike which I will pound out before reinstalling the armor

The door seal is all good and nothing significant was impacted, so works for me.

Large longitudinal members on each side of the radiator hold the winch tray and are flanked by two large auxiliary radiators. The primary radiator is hard mounted to the same transverse member which holds the front recovery eye -- inches away from the recovery hook.

I am looking forward to seeing if any supplier achieves what is in this photo AND makes it available to be purchased. Or if any supplier disposes of the JLR bumper entirely --- and is still able to protect the secondary radiators.

I am not prepared to forego the crash cans or shorten them; keeping them in case of a frontal collision. My tray is exposed --- a look I like anyway (its a working winch, after all -- not decoration). The hidden winch thing confuses me.

Mount the JLR winch tray or an equivalent three or four inches aft and the original bumper can be fully maintained.

I am happy with the results. I will need to figure out how to functionally use the mounting slots for the U bar --- a solution looking for a problem.

I thought I could add the Roo Bar as a fall back -- the different mountings really surprised me.

Here is the U.S. / UK pedestrian safe version. The same as my install without the bar and the black cover (which I just don't like the look of !) -- even as some have used and shared their work and I hope they are happy with it.

The Lucky8 hidden winch version -- which I wonder if it exists and if so how it was executed. The inspiration for the project.
