Brush Guard Install

Here is a pictoral summary of the installation of my new brush guard.

It took me about 5 hours. I took plenty of breaks and I was also going slow because it was my first time doing such a modification to any vehicle that I have ever owned.

Now for the pictures. First, the essential equipment.

Re: Brush Guard Install

Zero,

Nice presentation! Does this guard fold forward? It looks from your pics that it can be detached at the top and the lower portion may be hinged? This would make cleaning very easy. This is always one reason why I have stayed away from brush guards.

Also... who's the manufact. of your brush guard?

Nioce. Next time yu add text to pics in MSPaint, keep the image in BMP format, that way the text dosent blur.

Re: Brush Guard Install

The brush guard does not fold forward. It is bolted onto the bottom bracket. The url for where I bought it from is http://www.ronusa.com/

Tacoma, I used Photoshop Elements and saved the photos as jpeg. Next time I will try a different format. The text looked good in the preview images after I saved them!
