I thought that I had this one sorted but further investigation has led to disappointment.

I would like to add bash plates under the SWB GV that I have. I was just going to buy the Ironman 4x4 kit but it is only suitable beyond 2012. Brown Davis no longer make anything for this vehicle because Suzuki have too much variation in their underbody layout between various engine/transmission combinations. There is a fair bit of discussion of Outdoor Auto 4x4 kits but none of the links from 4 years ago are valid any more so I expect that is another dead path.

So, anyone able to provide current info? I don't particularly want to have to make them myself, but I expect that is the next step.

Thanks very much.

Fts 4x4 is where outdoor auto use to get them from. You can buy from them direct

Sent them an enquiry, might solve my snorkel problem as well.

I will update the thread when I have a response with cost.

So, they came back impressively fast with the various bits that I asked about. 

Code:
The quotation as below for your refrence. 
Snorkel - SS-GVJP-10      USD225

Various underbody pieces.
GVJP81AS        USD105
GVJP81BS        USD55  2.4L 
GVJP81BRS     USD30

Shipping : via TNT to Australia   USD271
Total amount :                               USD686
Transit days:4


At the moment, this translates to just under AU$950 which is not ridiculous for both snorkel and underbody protection.

I asked for both the aluminium and steel versions of the rear diff guard and they are only US$5 difference in price. Will likely get the steel for strength anyway.

I have asked for a cheaper freight option.

Hi Mate,

I'm thinking about bash plates from FTS as well. Whereabouts are you, maybe we could split that massive shipping cost.

Hey guys,

I'm considering buying from them too. I'm in Adelaide though. Would it help if I were to chip in on the freight too?
Where are you based?
