Heading back out to Moab soon (from NYC) and I am trying to remember all the things i should have done better from the last time. I can't think of much except i wish i would have had some more protection underneath. I have a steering guard, diff guards, and HD tie rods but I always found myself scraping the Cats going over rock ledges and stuff. WHo makes a good cat guard that will actually take a serious beating. I knew rockware makes one, but are there any other suppliers out there? Good and bad experiences with them? Thanks for any info

I think Rock Ware is your only option. But their stuff can take a beating. Their skid plates are some of the strongest ones on the marker.
Also you might want to ask your question on The D-90 Source .

I don't think they do now. I have never heard of it. But if they do I guarantee its not as good as the Rock Ware one. There skids are some of the best on the market.

WillTN, how far is Franklin, TN from NC? I goto school at App. State in Boone, NC, about 15-20 mins from the TN border. It would be nice to go wheelin' sometime up in the high country on a weekend when we don't have a rugby match. cheers mate.

Franklin is basically Nashville. I think it is about a five hour drive. But your only a bit over two hours away from Windrock and Royal Blue which are right around Knoxville. That's about the half way point between Nashville and Boone. I wheel at those places all the time. They are some of the best places to wheel in TN.
How far are you from Tellico?

They do but don't get it. I bought one used and tried it. Hangs down too low. At MAR it kept getting me stuck and in rocks I was getting stuck on stuff I normaly would make it over.rover4x4 said:
Get a Rockware rear pinion guard as well. Best armor that I bought for my Disco. Rockware makes extremely good products. I can't speak for their cat skid plate, but their sliders are the best design in my opinion. Since I've gotten them, they have taken a major beating and had lots of weight put on them and they never let any damage happen to my disco. I would say that if you got one of their skid plates, you'd end up being very happy.
My rockware gear has been great. I have the cat skid, somepeople knock it, especially if doing trails that have high grass (not much of that in CO). It has taken a beating and saved the cats. Does not hang down too low, but obviously its just a bit lower than the cats. Email me if you need more info or call Matt at RW.
From Rockware, I would order the cat guard and the frame sliders. I have used the crap out my frame sliders. Also, I would get the Rovertym Track Rod/Tie Rods, front and rear. They can take a beating.
I have a custom skidplate that covers the transmission too. Also, don't forget gas tank protection.
I have safari gard's front diff protection and a southdown in the back. The southdown is nice because it protects as well as allows you to slide over things.
In my opinion, I would stay away from the Southdown Track Rod/diff skid plate. My buddy had one and it acted more like a shovel.
