Am thinking of getting one for the front
Should I get one of the ordinary pan-type ones or the more elaborate one from QT

If you want the ultimate protection then get the axle guard from Devon 4x4 or safety devices (can't remember who) - it fits to the radius arm mounts and completly protects the axle, diff, track rod etc. Very solid and makes jacking the truck up easier as you can jack it from anywhere along the axle. Combine that with a steering guard and you're sorted if you run into anything hard.
Only draw back is the plate can act like a bit of a sled in mud - I used to get stuck more often when I was on 205s but now I have gone up to 235/85s its no bother.
Also, with regard to the QT ones - watch out... I seem to have unusual axles on my 90 where the drain plug is at about 5 or 7 o'clock (depending on which dir you view it from) so the QT ones don't fit (unless things have changed since the Donnington show earlier in the year). Anyone know why my axles are different?

Which vehicle? See my post under "Disco steering guard".
