they are all pretty similar wouldn't you think..
i can't say i like the look of this style tho.. its too much like a heep
my personal favorites are still the ones Matt uses.. (sorry.. not the most flattering pic.. but the first one 1 found)
on a shorty it would be nice to tie it into the sliders and then all the way back to protect the rear of the tub..

You mean from dirt/mud etc? As long as you dont cut them up higher than the stock guard you could possibly modify the original inner guard to still fit. And i think it wouldnt be too much work to make a custom inner on anything higher than stock.

The truck was a right off but the sliders survived, stood up real well to the impact and bolted stright on when we swapped them over.

That looks like a stock guard with a piece of tube added just to the front and part of the side. Looks good. And i guess it would be stronger than stock but im going to need mine way wider than stock to cover the 80 series diffs. Im also wanting to make them easily removable. Possibly just 3 bolts and they are off.
