BrushGuard

For 1K you can get a fully functional Darlington bumper with shackles, winch mount, made to your specs. Meaning, if you want that road armor stealth bomber look, he can do that, you want tube style baja look, he can do that, and so on.

Brush guards look cool, but as mentioned, could result in more damage to your vehicle in what would have been a minor fender bender. A bullbar, or push bar on the other hand....

I can vouch for that. Tech was pulling my VX into the bay a couple years ago when I had Tone's brushguard on. He claimed, "the brakes gave out", and slammed it into a row of toolboxes and actually pushed them through the cinderblock wall. Sounds a lot worse than it is described, but regardless, the brushguard wrapped around the fenders and hood, causing more damage than there needed to be. In all reality though, these were "show bars", not truly functional. A single mount point on both lower frame rails hardly makes it functional. But, ya, they looked good, heh.

Hitting a 120lb deer even, would cause more damage than just letting it get pounded by the cladding.

A long time ago, some member (can't remember who) was going with these guys to have one fabricated since they wanted one functional & bullet proof.

The company is near me & I volunteered my VX for the fab/fitment process. I rekin the member lost interest since they never set anything up.

The offer still stands though. If anyone is interested in having these guys fab anything, lemme know & I'll help out in any way I can.

BTW, I have no interest in the company and have never done any business with them so this is not an endorsement.
