    Front Guard

    I think I found a picture of Green Dragon's front guard and I think it rocks. I would love to have one fabricated for my VX. What will be your asking price and how long would it take you to fabricate them. I am active duty and just found out I am getting shipped out in 4 months...so my time is limited. Thank you in advance.

    Since you are so close to your overseas deployment (destination "sand-box" I presume), you might want to wait until you return back to the USA to contemplate the mod and give it more intensive thought.

    Most VX'ers here think a front brush/grill guard detracts from the original frontal beauty of the VX (that's why very few members have them). When I first bought my VX; I too wanted a front brush/grill guard, but after reconciliation and further thought agree with the majority here that the VX front-end is just too damn beautiful to disgrace with a frontal brush/grill guard. Give it more thought, and wait until you return back to the USA before making a decision (you just might change your mind).

    G,

    VXorado moved and doesn't have access to a welder anymore.

    That's something that I could probably get Welder Guy to fab up but I doubt he'd be able to finish it before you PCS.

    As an alternative, this company is located near me and may be interested in the business:

    Lemme know if you need me to take mine by for them to get measurements to fab up something.

    EDIT:

    Their site doesn't seem to mention the fact that they are willing to fabricate 'one off' custom components but a previous member had contacted them in the past about it:

    BTW, I'm really not interested in becoming a middle man in this. I'd appreciate it if you would deal directly with them on the design concept and just let me know when I need to take the VX by for them to take measurements/fit checks. Also, they will NOT be allowed to cut up my front cladding.

    Another thing to consider about a grill guard, is how much damage it will cause in a frontal impact....especially with limited availability of our parts.
