    Hmmm... good start, but I'd go a bit less bulky, a little bit more sleek and aggressive. I'd also try to play off off some of the VX's existing style elements and do something that complements those.

    The thing shouldn't be overbearing for the truck. I'd make the top crossbar thinner, and the same for the ones around the headlights. I think it needs the sidebars to look right, but change the shape a bit. I'd move the skidplate down and have it curl under more and not be quite such a major aesthetic design element. I'd make the vertical risers the centerpiece of the design. They should look like big pointy fangs or tusks and accentuate that by making them match the factory fangs and making everything else on the guard black except for maybe the skidplate at the bottom. No time for Photoshop right now as I'm in a race to dart out the door, but here's a quick workup...

    I am more looking into the full steal replacement type rather than the tube over type. What would be really sweet would be to have the front armor piece completely fabricated out of 3/8" or 1/2" steel with frame mounts...

    I'm sure it would be labor intensive, and expensive, but does anybody have a lead or contact of anybody that might be able to complete such a task?

    Working on a buddy's new VX last nite, I noticed there are GREAT attachment point on the outside of the front frame rails - don't know why I had not noticed them before. Dual threaded holes on both sides - sure would be nice to know what bars there are for the 2 dr Trooper in Japan....

    Those are the two points I use to attach my bull bar, if you're talking about the threaded holes for the tow hooks.

    Those are good but cause too much loss of clearance - these can be seen inside the wheel well and face out, not down.
