brush guard owners!
i put a manik brush guard on my 99 4runner and i notice when i am riding, it shakes probably a little more than it should. i have tightened it down again and it does the same thing. i am just wondering if anyone else noticed this about theirs? is there any way i can fix this? maybe by welding small support plates on the bottom where they bolt on? maybe it is supposed to vibrate like that, but i am not sure.

Do a search and you will see a post that I made a while back about my Manik shaking. I had some brackets made to help mine. Let me know if the old post doesn't give you all the answers that you need.

when i had my waag on, i would notice it vibrate slightly at freeway speeds. i didn't shake up the whole truck or make noise, but i could notice a slight wobble. that's to be expected.
tho i don't know from experience, i'd agree extra support brackets would help.

Sorry about that. I think they were on Montypics.com back then and are no longer supported. I checked and I don't have them on my computer either. Send me an email and I will get some pics of them tomorrow in the daylight and e-mail them to you. I will give you the details on them too. They are stainless steel and I had a local machine shop make them for me. (It was in Mobile, AL) They cured my vibration about 99%. It no longer vibrates at hwy or interstate speeds but of course it still will if I go over rough things fast (pot holes, rail roads, etc), but I guess that's to be expected and I can tolerate that. I just couldn't tolerate the hwy vibrations. I sent Manilk an e-mail about it before I had the new brackets made and they sent me a new design bracket that they had chagned to. But, it didn't help. Oh yeah, I am referring to the brackets that mount up top of the brush guard.

Call manik and tell them if they can give you support brackets. My bro had the same problem on his 00 4runner and they gave him some support brackets at no charge. Hope this helps just my 2cents

If they don't give you support brackets .. no need to fab some either. A couple of small spot welds will fix it. Thats what I did with mine. before I got rid of thewhole thing for a nice steel bumper. good luck
