A friend will be going to Perth soon, and I am keen on him bringing me back some sump, differential, transfer case and gas tank protection for my D40 Navara. Suggestions and links to high quality products are appreciated.

Thanks for nothing, guys...
I came across these skid plate and sump guard offerings from Australia: http://www.extremelimitsoffroad.com.au/category41_1.htm

Patrols are far more popular in Oz than any other Nissan....perhaps that is why you didn't get a response.
The USA version of the Navara (Frontier) is fairly popular in the USA with many being built for off pavement use. So did you look around in the USA?
When in doubt...build your own.....

The Navara is common enough in Oz.
I didn´t look in the USA because neither my Navara nor I are in the USA, plus shipping and customs costs from the USA are prohibitive. Ergo my query about Australia.

Thanks Mike. That was indeed useful. Much appreciated.
The "crack guard". Is this where overlanders can store their expedition´s stash of rock? Looks rather hermetic

No real info for your question, but like everyone else says why not just make your own skid-plates??? Seems like you've been pretty resourcefull building your Navara so far. But if that's not an option then I'd say these guy's are a good place to start eh. They look like one hell of a 4wd shop (not that I can say for certain they are... but they sure LOOK like a good shop 
)
Speaking of cool trucks... Sorry, lads, not a Nissan but... UH :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: Oh god how I want this Hillux... Simex Treckers go a long way to making a rig look unstopable eh PLus it's a SFA Quad Cab Diesel (I assume) Hillux... To me it doesen't get any better then that
http://www.psk4x4banpong.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=article&Ntype=14
Oh and this Isuzu :drool: :drool: ... good lord we get left out in the cold here in N.America... We have to buy garbage GM products to get D-Max's instead of quality trucks like this. N.America is one crappy market for guy's like us eh...
http://www.psk4x4banpong.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=article&Id=538850873&Ntype=2
Side OT question: Did Nissan EVER make an SFA truck other then the Patrol??? In any market??? I'm not able to think of one now that I think of it...
Cheers

Edit:
And as for Navara's in Oz... They're outnumbered 100:1 at least by Hillux's and frankly the Patrol is THE Nissan used in Australia. The Navara is there but not really in the numbers you're thinking they are I suspect.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I wondered the same thing too...
I also find it funny how they list a LandRover "series 1-5" ??? That one kind of made me go huh??? Like I said though, cool shop with some really SWEET trucks. I find it odd though, maybe it's just the pics and the angle they're taken from, but the Navara's IFS just looks REAL complicated/convoluted (I know it's not but...) and looks like it has a TON of stuff hanging down there to get snagged. Like I said, maybe it's just the pics, but it looks like the least 'clean" of all the IFS rigs. Cool trucks though, man how I wish we could get those trucks here.

what does this have to do at all with my query? I own a Navara, not a Hilux or a Patrol. The Navara is THE Nissan that I own. The Navara is THE Nissan sold in Indonesia. I am in Indonesia, not in the USA or in Australia. The fact is that Navaras are common enough in Oz. Otherwise there´d be no one offering undercarriage protection, when in fact I came across at least two makers. The reasons why my query did not return any results were a combination of i.) most forum members are in the Homeland, ii.) the few Aussies here couldn´t be bothered or simply didn´t have any info to share. It had nothing to do with the prevalence of Navaras in Australia.

Hey Mauricio.. i havnt had any experience with Navara protection but i have for my Patrol. I have been through 3 TJM sump guards all have cracked and or broken along the bends. I am now awaiting a guard from Brown Davis, other folks i know have had great experiences with this company. Good luck with the search

I was ready to pull the trigger on a Brown Davis job from that link that I provided earlier. Regrettably they had pretty unresponsive customer service and would not provide the shipping weight of the item. Thailand´s PSK will get my money instead.
