Thanks for the leads Lee, but the first does not have it and the second is for an L300. Crap, I got excited there for a second. Thanks for the try.

Got one. Luckily one of our Australian Brothers had one sitting around. Fair trade- I trade some Aussie dollars (plus shipping, which was a bit of a kick down under, but worth it) for a very nice sump guard. The brackets were bent quite a bit and the plate itself had some good scratches but it was nothing my trusty hammer couldn't fix. It also had a BLITZ decal on the front that had been there for quite a while so when I removed it the silhouette was still there. The scratches add character- now I have bragging rights that I did some pretty narly 4x4ing in Australia! Pics:

I am happy(er) now.

Nice looking front end Cregan, guard looks good from the front but can you post a picture from the underneath? Or is that too much of a bother? Be good to see how it covers.

Sure, I will take some today. It bolts into the two existing top bolts that hold on the other steel plate and then the two brackets go over the bull bars and lock it in on the front end. Way better than the plastic tub that was on there stock.

Here are the pictures:
This is the stock plastic sump guard. Mine had been overtightened at some point and cracked around a couple of the bolt holes.

This is a view of the coverage of the new guard. It bolts directly into the two holes that were for the plastic one and is fixed in the front by 2 brackets that wrap around the bottom of the bull guard.
