Pix to follow tomorrow, it started raining after I finished up. I stumbled across this guard on eBay with 30 min left on the auction. I bid and got it for $10 + $80 shipping. It has some scratches that I will sand and paint out before I take the pix. I wish I had all black and no chrome on my H3, but with white, would it look funky with no chrome?

I'm more in the no-bling camp myself..

Here's the guard:

the website shows an area where you can mount lighting, would that hold up as a winch mount also?

I don't think the mounting surface is strong enough for a winch, but with a plate, it looks doable.. or maybe underneath?

I love the mad maxx look. Billy bad ass. :excited: The only I think I would do is try to heat and bend the outsides in a bit, to conform a little better to the shape of the stock bumper, but otherwise, I like it. On question though. Why do you mount it then paint it? kind of risky I think. :beerchug:

Thanks, not risky at all. The plastic was very adequate for protecting the front and if there were any over spray, Goof Off would have worked without damaging paint/chrome. I have painted dirt bike engines in the frame for years this way. I would use alum foil for the tight spots and then clean any over spray.

The reason I wouldn't bend it in is there are a lot of deer where I run and I need as much energy dissipation space as I can get. I would rather trash a $10 guard than my H3..One of my coworkers has hit 2 deer in his F250 and another tagged a 100 lb hog, all leading to pretty expensive damage..

Yeah, it kinda does.. I want to do black steel RockKrawler bead lock style wheels on 33's. I looked at the Adv H3 and to me the 33's look just right + no performance/weight penalty. That and black rocker panel sliders and I should be pretty good to go...

Did you do a search for the Line-x? There is a handful of people that line-x the front grill and fenders, bumpers, etc. Looks awesome IMO. I dig the rockcrawlers as well. Kepp it up. :beerchug:

Not my style, but mods are good. Make it your own!

Was that before or after that kid shot it? Oh wait, that one was a 1000 lbs ;) Seriously tho, you might catch some air if you hit anything with that angle.

Let’s see some pics of it.

I'd also recommend wrapping a big ass recovery rope or snatch strap around it.

oh, I'm sure it will be trashed, but if it saves the front end and sacrifices itself, I can live with that...

BTW, what do ya'll think of these rims to go along with the Mad Max look:
