Talking Brush guard is on!!!!!!!!

It's sick! I think the truck looks like a tank now I love it. Bear in mind that it's not fully complete yet but it's roughly on there. And securely on there. That's 3/8" steel for the bottom mounts and there's 1/4" steel you can't see coming out from under the grille attached to the bottom tube of the brush guard. Let me know what you guys think.

The lower mounts go down to the frame (bolted and welded to frame). I haven't finished up all the reinforcements yet, but this is basically what it will look like upon completion.

Yeah, I always laugh when I hear people talk about how they can go through anything because they have a brush guard. The function of a brush guard is to protect from BRUSH ... Nothing more lol.
