Full Rasta Underbody Protection on the D4 (with pictures)
I finally got around to mount the radiator covers! - Well actually the dealer did the job as a favor for my hassle with reduced performance caused by a corroded Compressor Shut Off Valve.
Most of the kit is fairly easy to fit, although the bumper shield fixing patent is a bit odd - until you find the trick - and the radiator covers require some drilling to enlarge the existing bolt holes for the M6 inserts.
The full kit consists of:
Bumper shield, sump guard, gearbox and transfer skid plate + radiator protection covers.

The dealer should be happy considering all the money he got when I bought it!
Rock sliders are on!
But yea, Ive still got some some more stuff to add... like: diff protector, long range fuel tank, tank guard... the list is long! I'm trying to resist the mod bug but somehow the Rasta kit just ended up on my doorstep, strange how that happens.

Have you installed a diff guard yet?

have to say D4 sump looks very modern? nice shape very well incorporated into the front end!!!
I've looked around for diff guard options but can't say that I've found any good solutions yet, most off them looks more like a BBQ rack and are very large and complex due to few fixing points around the diff.
ASFIR also makes a slider that only cover the air compressor.
The bumper shield looks really good, and the overall weight is much less than on other sump guards I've tried, there really is no point in lugging around more weight than necessary and many people would argue that less weight and no protection is the best way to go. I prefer to have some.
It is possible to get the bumper shield even more flush if you change the spacers (part of the assembly) with some that are 5mm shorter. The gap under the license plate should then be gone but I assume the gap is there for a reason and have not bothered with it - yet.

nice mods
could do with seeing a pic of your rear end
ie what ladder have you fitted?
Also what tyres are you running on your stormers?...... always on the road less travelled 🚧
