I have a buddy that has a guard on his 08 silverado and is willing to take it off and sell it to me will it fit on my 2003 dodge 1500 or will I have to get one just for the dodge models?????

 

you could make it work with fabricated brackets....... good luck trying to buy brackets, i bought a used guard for my wifes nitro, and i tried all over to get brackets...... i finally broke down and built them myself..... they turned out great, and the guard looks nice on the nitro..... made the wife happy to.

 

Would you send me a pic of your brackets to my phone if I give my number cause I may can get my dad to build some rebeltaz83

 

yeah, just pm me, and i'll try to get a few nice clear pics. for you.......... all you have to do, is find out where they mount, and get some rough measurements......... i used 3/16" flat stock when i made mine....... you could use 1/4 but it's harder to bend, and drill an so on....... but if your dad can do it with 1/4 then i'd do it, might be over kill, but you never know what might jump or run out in front of you....... i did alot of measuring and cutting, drilling, and some welding, an bending...... took me a good around 8 hours to make them...... sprayed some black rustoleum on them to match the guard, and the next day i had it bolted on in 5 mins...... alot of simultions of putting the guard on and trying a bracket, make some small tweaks here, an there, and i got all the holes to line up with no problems....... i wanted it on there, so if for some reason another civic desides to commit suicide by hitting us head on again, there is a little more there to help stop the car from doing more damage...... didn't even make one payment and got in an accident. all well it's done, car is fixed, and we are happy, lol.

 

Yeah it's always good to have a little protection from stuff like that i'm only 16 and i'm a good driver but you never know what stupid things other people will do

 

The best advice I ever got from a professional racecar driver was "You'll be a "good" driver when you've got 10+ years under your belt.... right now you're a "new" driver...you need to watch, listen and learn."

Advice I pass on to all new drivers is not to take chances and learn from your and other people's mistakes on the road.

Hell I've been driving for 10+ years and I still learn something new on the road from time to time.

 

i deliver concrete for a living, and i see alot of stupid things people do...... it would amaze you at what they do just get by a slow truck.

 

You will need one specifically for a '02-'05 Ram 1500 if you want it to bolt right up, but if you are willing to cut/weld and can get you a couple choice pieces of thick flat stock and angle iron you can basically make any full size truck brush guard work...

 

If we can't do it by ourselves im pretty sure I can find somebody around here to make it for me some it just may cost me a few bucks
