Moley1508 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 hi all, I bought an 08 Adventura recently. quite like it and appreciate it is not in the sam league as my old disco or 90 off road, but its surprisingly good. I clipped the rear end on a reasonable incline causing some minor damage and whilst under it fixing said issue I found myself a bit worried at the vulnerable undercarriage. has anyone added any skid plates frot and rear, any recommendations for a uk supplier? (please don't say I should have got a jimmy lol, I might still!) thank you in advance , much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I'd look and see if their is a xtrail forum.Will be loads of advise/parts/suppliers info on there.Even I shot and had the Jimnys,their forum was full of everything and the advise flooded in when you asked any questions.

Davyo Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) good point davao, I have looked but most are foreign based. il keep looking.thanks There is a few UK forums for the Xtrail but not a lot of questions re 'off road modifications'.You might be able to find someone to knock up things like sump/diff/fuel tank skid plates out of stainless checker plate.

Dave-G Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 There is a dedicated X-trail forum - easily found via google, and a facebook X-trail group too. I found better results with the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(please don't say I should have got a jimmy lol, I might still!) thank you in advance , much appreciated When I had my 2003 X-Trail I loved it but wanted to lift it a little 2" and put some skid plates on it the only place that I found that sells this stuff in in Australia but it would cost more to have it posted over here than the parts cost and they was not cheap I got so fed up with it I sold the car in the end good luck with it.

Moley1508 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) thanks all, I saw this sump guard site. 2-3 mm seems a bit thin to me. better than nothing but having modded my disco I would be looking for 5mm-6mm Ali plate Edited July 23, 2017 by Moley1508 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
