    The green dragon did not have a "brush gaurd" so all these posts are moot for que es. Grampa bob had a custom made front tube type bumper that was very functional for offroading...it is what gave his dragon the affectionate "warthog" nickname.

    Que, being located in Texas you should have no problem finding a quality offtoad fab shop that could build you a bumper like that. Check local offroad forums for recommendations if you are unsure of where to go.

    I first thought it was Grampa Bob he was talking about too, but then recalled there was a Dragon that came up for sale about 6-8 months ago that had a big grill guard. I wonder if it's that one that he's referring to?? I don't have to time to look it up right now.

    I just talked to the guy at Iron Pig. They are interested in doing the work but mentioned up front that it could be expensive $90/hr + material. They are more interested in only fabricating 1-3 units though and aren't all that interested in higher quantities.

    If Y'all settle on a design, I'll run it by to check on feasibility and estimated cost.

    Lemme know.

    I still have a small welder and do project for myself. I was hoping to get some general ideas from this thread but instead I got very specific ideas from everyone which wasn't usable for my purposes. For instance, "5 members want winch bumpers" would be great because I could design it, price it & build it in one production run. Custom projects can cost too much especially with the current price of steel & shipping. I haven't given up & do have some ideas for projects that may be in the works this year





    QUE ES, the best plan to get Green Dragon's front guard is to use Toms "Welder Guy" or just take it to a local custom shop. It will cost a lot so you might as well have it made exactly to your specs.

    I can't tell if Que_Es is referring to a grill/brush guard or some type of custom front tube/bumper???

    Here's the thread I was referring to: It was owned & sold by "decVX" but I can't find a pic of it now, all the links are expired and he has no pics in gallery.:

    He said green dragon so I figured it was the guard I put in my post.
