Brushguard Install Q

[timgco]

How do you do it? Do you have to take the whole bumper off or just the tow hook bolts?

I have the factory BG on there now and am putting the SMA one on in it's place.

I have two bolts that hold the towhooks on and a Torx head bolt in the middle.

Thanks.

Timgco -

If possible can you take pics of the SMA guard on the H3 before the lift is installed? I really like the SMA guard but wonder if it will look good on a non-lifted H3.

Thanks in advance http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

the 3 is being ropped of later this afternoon and the BG won't be here until Thursday or Friday, so I can't take the pics. I can hold it up to Kira's 3, but it will have the OEM BG on there. I think it will look good either way.

Thats cool. I look forward to seeing it on your 3 either way. Maybe a side by side of yours and Kira's if its not too much of a PITA.

Thanks again!

Tim - does the SMA guard have light tabs?

I just put a Aries brushguard on my H3 today. Well I tell ya, about halfway thru unbolting the bumper I said theres got to be a better way.. There was. I eyeballed the tow hook bracket right between the bolt holes and drilled (1/4inch ) out the retaining clip. It was a piece of cake. Bracket came off, Brushguard was installed in minutes. With the tow hook installed you cant even see the small hole now. The D ring pretty much covers it. The directions I got for unbolting the bumper and removing the wheel house panels turned my little project into a all dayer. If you dont mind drliing a small hole to release the tow bracket you can install a brush guard in no time. Hope this helps.
