Brush Guard INFO ?????? - Diesel Forum

tbbux · 01-31-2001, 11:13 AM

Any X-owners have the grills installed? I'm looking for a chrome grill that attaches to the frame. The wife agreed it would look better..

so I 'm getting it put on before she changes her mind. I need the info ASAP. What kind are on the market? I prefer the wrap-around that covers the lights with bars going across. I also want to put on some lights. Can they be connected to the light switch? Thanks in advance for any advice.

tbbux,

I installed the Ramsey Brush guard/winch mount. It is more than mere decoration and looks good. It is very substantial and will make the front of your X virtually deer proof. It also commands a lot of respect from the zippy cars whose drivers see about a foot of extra steel sticking out at about their eyeball level. The nice part about the Ramsey is that you retain your original bumper while adding something substantial and functional to the front end. Costs about $600 and takes 4-5 hours to put on.

There is one for sale on eBay. I'm not sure if it is black or chrome. It is a Stull brand.

What model did you install? Do you have pictures?

There's a Luverne at http://www.bgnett.no/~bjornar/truck.html
Hella Jumbo 210s mounted behind the front cross bars.
Wondering where the winch will go, but...

I ordered a Manik stainless 1-piece yesterday. Should be here next Tuesday. Also putting on skyjacker leveling kit..3 inches in the front/2 inches in the rear (part#:FE30MK). I talked to skyjacker and they said make sure it's that part number because most shops put on part#:F93203K which is for the super-dutys. The super-duty part DOES NOT come with back blocks but the shops will charge the same. This way my 35's will fit and not rub.
