CUCV Brush Guard dimensions does anyone know them including the thickness of material?

[Trucktruxktrukk]

Im looking to make a brush guard similar to the one on the CUCV. From the pictures I have seen, it appears pretty hefty, almost 1/4" thick. Any help would be appreciated, thank you

1/4" would be correct.

Thanks for the help, going to get started on it once I get my bed cap built.

If building one from scratch, why not make it better? If I was building one, my mind would be telling me to use 5/16" or 3/8" steel. It will take more heat to do it, but certainly possible.

I probably will use 5/16 and some 3/8 tubing on the front in place of the angle is and 1/2" flat bar for the 2 main "posts" and mounts. Would happen to know the dimensions for the brush guard? Going to make a bed topper as well

they are very sturdy at a 1/4". start using 1/2" and your guard can end up weighing a couple hundred lbs.
one issue with the stock cucv guards is along the front between the main uprights (first, second and third pic). they quite often bend there cause of the design.
i needed room to put my 9" lights so i modded it to take care of the bend prob anyway. after i modded mine, we built one for buddy's truck. make the main hoop first then add everything else. they also slightly curve in at the ends to match the profile of the front of the truck. if you need measurements let me know and i will go measure mine
