It's all good lol I clock in to work in 12 minutes and don't get off til midnight. I just wanna know how hard it's be to fab up sone because I don't like the bumper mount idea. Fords bumper brackets are crap I don't trust my bumper to stay on if I DID push anything with it lol

the pics aint very good, it started pouring soon as i went outside. but the top mount goes all the way down to the frame rail and bolts in 2 places. the whole idea of the guard is the bottom one is suppose to be strong, the top on is there just to hold the guard on. so if i hit something, the guard will push back into the frame rails.

I see how it works now lol I wasn't sure if it was just brackets that went underthe bumper or what. How hard do you think it'd be to fab something like that up?? I can't see the shape of the top one too well. The bottom one basically stops the guard from moving in place and that could easily be done

its all pretty easy lol, as you can see the top bracket is just in a L shape to bolt to the guard, right behind the bumper it bends straight down towards the frame rail and bolts to the bumper mounts. im wanting to stiffen both of the little brackets up so i can use my guard to pull my truck if i get stuck, gently, no yanking but you get the idea lol.

If mine was 4x4 I'd mount a receiver hitch in the front for that lol
