so i got a new brushguard (thanks to alexG1323) and put it on my truck. it's for a 2nd gen but i MADE it fit on my 1st gen. i love it! thanks alex!

 

here's another pic

 

Looks great, those Toyota factory brushguards are the best looking for sure. Was it hard to make it fit? That's the same brushguard I've got too, http://community.webshots.com/photo/...87536486nrNPYb , well I cut mine up a little.

 

well, technically i haven't made it fit properly yet. the 4 bolts on the bottom fit perfectly, but the 2 in the middle are spread apart. there's a good 2 inches between them and where they're supposed to come in contact with the bumper. i haven't decided how i'm going to properly attach them. i have access to machining shops, so i might just fab a bracket and put it on. or, i can do the standard mechanical engineer fix-it job and jerry rig it. (i can put a long bolt through it and attach nuts at each side of the bumper to clamp it in there). i WILL do that for sure temporarily until i make up (IF i make up) the brackets, just to secure it properly.

You wanna wheel tommorrow? Come to Flint. Or call me

 

yeah, i ended up just doing the temporary bolt fix for now. (clamping a long bolt between the guard and the bumper, and then putting another nut in the FRONT side of the bumper.) it's actually surprisingly secure. i ended up having to drill a hole in the bumper cuz i just couldn't make the current holes work properly. now if only i remembered to use STAINLESS bolts! CRAP!!!! oh well, i wasted $1, and i know that it'll hold good once i get the proper bolts in there.

rob, i was gone all weekend. sorry dude. i DO wanna head to the mounds with you one of these weekends. we'll have to plan ahead though.
