is it possible to have a grill/brush guard, like the waag one, and a 1-2 inch body lift? i'm guessing not, but i'm not sure...

 

Sure just leave your bumper at stock height and deal with 1-3" gap between the bumper and headlights and oh yeah if you have brush guards then the guard loops will be lower than the headlights and probably block them. Good luck.

 

-bump-

so i hear there is a way to make it work, you just have to make an extension for the grille guard. anyone know about this?

 

ive done it. i did a 2inch lift and moved my guard up as well. got a kit, forgot where, but if i find it ill post it

 

That would be very easy. Got a pic of your setup?

I tried loading your site. no go.

 

yeah...i would deffinately suggest extending it. Otherwise it just does not look good. I have seen a 4Runner in College Station several times with a body lift and brush guard and it just looks messed up.

 

ill get them up as soon as i can

 

hey zedex...

i posted this for someone else, but here are some pictures.

he said to just cut the brushguard by the brackets, move it up a 2'' and weld it back together.

 

Whats this hole in picture for? Is it for a brace that goes through the grill and attaches to the frame somewhere? If so its probably best to make a cut above that point. Make up a nice plate that extends the upper part of the brush bar. Do you have a pic with the light guards installed?

 

You know I've got the same problem...I've got a 3" body lift in mine and I was wicked upset when I got an e-mail back from ARB telling me that I would need someone with fabrication skills to modify my bull bar if I bought one....So far I've not been able to find any company that sells brush guards that compensate for a body lift....So I'm going to one of my buds locally to custom make me one......But if anyone has any other suggestions please chime in...lol

 

I myself would remove the rubber around the front. Make a cut at approximately where the white line is. Make up a plate like this. Paint it . put it in place. trace holes from the plate . drill holes into brush bar. And bolt it up.Replace rubber. It would look like a 2 piece brush bar. No one would know it was modified. And it would be very strong.

 

no, no pic with those side light guards on. i didn't install them, i kinda don't want them. i just like the center piece.

and that other hole...not sure what it's there for. i think it's a one of the holes used when mounting those side light guards on.

that idea you said about extending it...i don't know. maybe. where would i get something like that done tho?

 

A fab shop would either make the plate for you or just weld a piece in. But if you weld it, the powdercoating will be destroyed. Thats why you make the plate and drill it.
