Default anyone with a manik brushguard...

could someone with a manik brushguard please help me out here. i ordered brackets for mine weeks ago and those weeners never sent me anything. so i want to see if i can just make my own.

if you have one could you take a moment and just snap a few pictures of the brackets, so i can see what the finished product would look like. THANKS!

I have a Westin, not a Maniak but most be similar. I thought about making the brackets for mine to but the way they bold up on our trucks it really hard to do. I'd call those punks and start bitching!

Good to hear

My friend has a Stanless Maniak BG on his Ford Exploder, looks really good and seems tough too.

all of those "brushgaurds" will just make any front impact worse. as they eat the grill, hood, bumper and fenders when they bend back....I should know, I sold a LOT of them to our customers who had "jc whittney" the entire truck up when they bought one..

lol, yer missing the dynamics here... the bar bends so easily since its out so much further, a small tap will send it back INTO the other parts that might not have gotten touched otherwise, dont mind me, I used to love selling them then selling a replacement after each hit
