Default Brush guard installed

Hello,

I've always liked the look of brush guards on SUV's so I picked up an Aries brush guard for my Durango and it came today. Install was easy, took about 1.5 hours. I'm very happy with the look and the product! Pics below

Looks good...Can you get us a shot of the mounting (through/under the fascia)?

My wife actually said she liked the way the push bumper on the Durango Police Special Service looked. Not sure how it would work with the ACC though.

Basically it mounts to your tow hook mounting points. If you have tow hooks you have to remove them, if you don't you just pop out the plastic covers and bolt the brackets there. I placed a link to the manual which has pics of the mounting. It says right in the manual it may interfere with adaptive cruise control, which I dont have so I can't comment. My grille guard doesn't seem to cover where the sensor would be, now the police one above looks like it does.

I usually do.. some go up too high over the bumper, that I don't like.. Most of the pics I see online are the chrome version, I'm hoping to find someone with black.

Ryans pictures here have me tempted to go for the full thing but I just love the front end of the D, I'm not sure i want to cover it up so much.
