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).
