Looking for the right Grill/Brush guard

Yeah the ARB is a beast of a bumper, pretty much every hit just bounce off of them.

 

Your bumper and impact bar behind bumper are designed to take a hit, which will absorb most of impact. You ad a grille/brush guard, the frame/ mounting points take the direct hint. Which will most likely damage it. Plus grille/brush will be push into multiple other front-end parts ( grilled, headlights, fenders) fenders pushed into doors. I use to run a autobody shop years ago. Mostly saw more damage with them, than without them.

 

Thank you

 

You are welcome.

people hate it when I am correct

 

LoL

 

WHAT ARE THOSE? SHACKLES FOR ANTS!?

 

"Roo-Rated" more likely.

Another thought, your crumple zones are designed to absorb energy and direct it safely away from people. Armor up and all of the sudden your vehicle doesn't absorb anything - imagine what it does to the other vehicle.

It's not terribly unreasonable to think that you might be held responsible for the modifications you do to your vehicle in the event of an accident where people get hurt as a result.

 

This actually peaked my interest, so I did some searching. There does not seem to be much on the topic, but I did find this.
