AUS members input requested for 60 series ext accessories venders (1 Viewer)

I’ve searched for years and not found sources for exterior accessories—but; see them on your rigs in Australia.

I’m looking for;
—front hood bug deflector (bonnet?)
—all 4 doors rain guard that fits into the top of the window channel. So window can be open a bit on rainy days (I’ve seen standard and extra large ones in AUS rigs.

Can anyone name companies and/provide links for these products in Australia?…or another country?

I know freight is a cost issue but then with exchange rates likely even out.

Plus—I really want to protect the new paint on the rig and front hood. Rock chips create entries for salt corrosion….

Thankyou!

I'm not from Australia but I can say with 100% certainty that — a front hood bug deflector will do absolutely nothing useful on a 60.
I never had one on my 60 for 30 years and 290,000 miles and the front of the hood paint still almost looked new. No chips. Looked excellent.
The valence above the bumper though is another story - that low hanging piece of sheet metal gets thrashed and it definitely showed its age.
I think the hood of the 60 is high enough to be out of the jet stream of road debris - is my theory.
Also my hood still looked excellent after all those years too. Always kept it waxed. vehicle was always parked outside. Never in a garage.

I'm with you on those window rain deflectors - those are awesome in rainy weather. I saw them on a 60 in South Africa (25 years ago).

Thankyou OSS and kirsmeis for the info-feedback and link…

OSS-good to know you’ve had such good success on your hood; here in the western US we’ve lots of gravel roads in the mountains—hence oncoming traffic kicks up smaller gravel.

Kirvesmeis; do your window deflectors mount up in the window track or use adhesive tape for and outside mount?

Thankyou!
