Ive got a brush gaurd for a latter model that I took apart. I could trace them for you if 42grand's wont work.

I would be interested in that one too. I have a guy local with a plasma table. We can kick these bad boys back into production!

It was hell trying to get the screws off that were holding the rusted / busted lights. I'll try loosening the side screws with my impact to see if they budge. That'll make it easier to trace the brackets on the sides too!
If you are able to get them apart and trace I’ll gladly pay you up front for any cost involved in getting copies of them to me. Good luck.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Y'all let me know if you figure something out because I like the looks of that guard. :D

If this plasma table thing doesn't happen I'm going to kill myself
My son in law is maintenance manager at a company that makes dump truck beds. They have state of the art tables and can powder coat anything. If I get my lunch hooks on some patterns this will happen.

There will be variations, wider for sure and I like the idea of headlight guards.

You are playing a dangerous game there friend. Getting all of our hopes up for these magical cheap precision cut, and powder coated brush guards.
