BROWN DAVIS FRONT UNDERGUARD FOR NISSAN PATROL GU Y61 97-PRESENT - UGNPGQF3

4.8L Petrol/Turbo Diesel

This tank is designed as a full replacement fuel tank with a much higher fuel payload than the standard tank. The tank takes the place of the factory fitted fuel tank, and as such are a direct bolt in solution for increasing fuel capacity.

Laser cut on high tech machinery, each guard is manufactured from 3mm aluminised steel specially imported by Brown Davis. The guards are welded to Australian Standard AS – 1554 and come with a Satin black powder coat finish. All guards come with full fitting kits where applicable, (if factory mounting bolts cannot be retained) and comprise of high tensile grade 8.8 fasteners for a true bolt on item.

Underguard Features

• Venting slots: Often to fully protect the underside of a vehicle and the vital cooling components underbody protection can seal off the lower part of the engine bay, however Brown Davis incorporates strategically placed venting holes to ensure proper cooling efficiency is maintained for items like the radiator and inter-cooler.
• 
  Bolt head protection: Although having a guard bolted up underneath the vehicle offers protection against object impact, the bolt heads protruding from the guard on mount locations can pose a potential problem if not adequately protected. Where possible Brown Davis recesses mounts into the guard to leave no bolt head protrusion, however where this is not achievable due to vehicle design and chassis restrictions, Brown Davis strategically weld shields around bolt head locations, preventing damage and thus ensuring easy removal of the guard for service and cleaning.
• 
  Recessed Sump Oil Drain plate: on vehicles where sump drains vertical, Brown Davis incorporates it’s Oil Drain Plate. These plates are recessed flush with the guard and bolts up with countersunk bolts. This gives easy access to drain your sump and leaves no opening for objects to protude through and leaver off destroying vital vehicle parts.
• Cross-break folding: On larger guards, long flat areas are carefully pressed with a ‘X’ pattern across the area to increase stiffness and rigidity of the guard, and improve the Underguards’ ability to deflect large objects.
