Equip your Land Rover Defender with unmatched protection and durability with our all-steel Steering Guard. Designed to handle the toughest off-road conditions, this guard is the ultimate shield for your vehicle's underbody.

Our Defender Steering Guard has been a trusted product since its introduction in 2017, with hundreds sold worldwide. It has become a staple among Defender enthusiasts who demand only the best for their off-road adventures. Engineered with a 6mm thick all-steel construction, this guard is now available with or without our ORE branding laser-cut into the main plate—offering both functionality and style.

Key Features:

• 
  All-Steel Construction: Crafted from robust 6mm steel, our steering guard offers superior impact resistance compared to aluminum alternatives, which may bend or fold under pressure.


• 
  OREsome Powder Coating System: Finished with our proprietary OREsome powder coating, which has been rigorously tested to endure 1000 hours of salt spray corrosion. This coating prevents rust, bubbling, or peeling even when scratched or scuffed.


• 
  Integrated Recovery Points: Includes two 26mm diameter recovery eyes, ideal for winches or bow shackles, making it easier to recover your vehicle during challenging off-road situations.


• 
  Universal Fit: Designed to fit all Land Rover Defenders from 1983 to 2016. Fully compatible with ORE bumpers and winch bumpers, ensuring a seamless upgrade for your Defender.


• 
  Precision Engineering: Manufactured in the UK with exceptional standards and high tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and long-lasting performance.


• 
  Stainless Steel Fixings Included: Comes with an all-stainless fixing kit, including replacements for the often corroded under-body mounting points, guaranteeing a secure and easy installation.


• 
  Optional Branding: Choose between a branded version with the ORE logo or a sleek, unbranded option for a clean, understated look.

Why Choose Our Defender Steering Guard?

Unlike other steering guards on the market, our design features laser-cut holes that allow mud and water to pass through freely. This prevents debris from being trapped and pushed into your engine bay or radiator when reversing, which is a common issue with solid-plate guards.

Our decision to use steel over aluminum was deliberate. Steel offers far greater protection in real-world off-road conditions and allows you to confidently jack up your Defender on the steering guard—a feat that would cause aluminum guards to bend.

The black finish of our steering guard is not just for aesthetics; it blends seamlessly with the underside of your truck while providing superior rust resistance and durability. With the OREsome Powder Coating system, you can trust that your steering guard will withstand the test of time and the elements.

FAQs:

• 
  Does the ORE Steering Guard have recovery points?
  Yes, our steering guard includes two recovery points coated with our black OREsome powder coating as standard, perfect for winches or bow shackles.


• 
  Can I buy the steering guard without the holes?
  No. Solid-plate steering guards without holes can trap mud when reversing, pushing it into your engine bay and around the radiator. Our design prevents this by allowing debris to pass through.


• 
  Do you offer your steering guard without branding?
  Yes, we offer a branding-free option based on popular demand, available at no additional cost.


• 
  Why is your Steering Guard black?
  The black color ensures that the steering guard blends in with the vehicle's underside while offering superior rust resistance. The OREsome Powder Coating prevents any rust creep or coating damage, even if the guard is scratched.


• 
  Can I jack up my Defender on this Steering Guard?
  Yes, the all-steel construction is strong enough to support jacking up your Defender, unlike aluminum guards that would bend under such pressure.
