Re: Custom TREE Guard
The problem with the factory brush guard is because of its mounts. You cant put any real pressure on it. Open up a H2 hood and bounce it back and forth sometime. You will see how flimsy that hinge really is. Now, would you want to be on a steep downhill incline and have to prop your truck up against a tree via brush guard knowing what its bolted to. And then winch out a truck further down the hill???
I say this cause this is a perfect example of what happend to me at Kinzalows this year. I had to be winched back up a hill backwards. Luckly the H1 behind me had a TreeHugger brush guard from rubber duck and he was able to use a tree to keep his truck from sliding to mine on that winch pull.
SMA's bolted to the frame design is a much better design in my opinion.
