Anyone have an SMA brushguard?

[jmsspratlin]

Just wondering if you had to cut the mini grill in order for it to fit. And the mounting holes don't line up, what to do? Thanks....Jamie

[jmsspratlin]

also, I have an 06 H2, would earlier year applications have the same hole pattern so as to mount, or is it possible that I have one not meant for this truck. Thanks...Jamie

Do you have one top bar or 2? They mount a little differently.

After looking at it again, it looks as if you have to drill into the existing front plastic bumper (thats all I can tell from pics, and really all I have to go on) If this is the case FAWK IT!:rant:

[jmsspratlin]

Nevermind...found out this thing is not for an H2 and is suppose to mount in the existing holes on the front behind the mini-grill. Sending this thing back.

Sorry. I forgot that they changed. I was referring to the older style. The single vs. double top-tube styles mounted a little differently. Glad you figured it out.:beerchug:

The place I got it from says it is def for an H2, if anyone has one, could you please post up how it mounts just to verify my findings? I tried to find contact info for SMA...but they have been outta business for 2 years now:crying:

I will PM you with a answer I sent another H2'r. I have the SMA brushguard but with the SMA valence & PIAA 520. If you can find the SMA Valence it would make installation a lot easier. I installed it myself since nobody wanted to do the job.

Here is one of the issues with this thing:

NOTICE THE OVERLAP OF THE BRACKET OVER THE CHROME GRILL

THE BRACKET IS TOO BIG AND THE HOLES DON"T LINE UP AT ALL

I remember that either the lower valance or guard was different depending if which combo of SMA parts you had = You may have the guard for the SMA valance

If that was the case, I wish the place I bought it from would have let me know in advance.

I could have that backwards, so please double check it. I don't have that guard, so I didn't know who it suppose to install.

How would I know if it required the valance or not? Is there something in particular that I need to look for. Thanks for the help man....Jamie:beerchug:
