Looking for a Brush Guad

[Sunday Money]

Not only does it look stupid but probably not a good idea to mount that jack on that junk guard.

I'm no f'n safety sally, but one of my biggest pet pives is dumb shits that mount their hi-lift to the hood or in this case on a damage multiplier brush guard. A decent impact, from any direction, that thing is a potential missile. Plus, I'd be willing to bet that dude has no lift points capable to use the thing.

True, but powder coat can change. Given how well the paint matches the bumper, I'd say good odds on that particular one having been repainted with the bumper.

Looking at how all the tubes bolt onto that riser section, it wouldn't be great at actually guarding against brush... and that's how the Hooke one goes together too. Hard to tell if you can't see the emblem that would be on the side of those risers. Could also be a random Amazon knockoff with just a different powdercoat on it.

Most of these aftermarket ones are just one piece, which would be a lot stronger.

Almost all of them for the Bronco look weak. I hate how they just barely bolt to the top of the bumper. I wish someone would make one that bolts farther down on the front of the bumper, or even to the frame.

Agree with you completely. Why doesn't someone make a push guard/brush guard that actually mounts to the frame, or least is supported farther down the front of the bumper?

This is a Westin, and I think is looks a lot better than that one in your picture.... but that's only my opinion:

Agreed. I spent months looking before buying and still havent seen one i like better or even close. And it barely blocks the camera. Plus it comes with bumper reinforcements.

I couldn't find brush guard I I really like, so I built my own.

I purchased the Aries 7100 forefront black steel brush guard for my 25 badlands with the capable bumper and i think it looks great, but we all have different tastes.. I had to remove the bumper to remove factory tow hooks but installation was not bad at all, took less than 2 hrs to complete,including the lights and wiring...
