Yeahh.... eeeehhh but I dunno.... just not as beefy..., It's not 2" thick 1/4" tubing, but I do like it, just looks like the stock double brush guard with an added top piece.

IM INTERESTED!!! Mine doesnt have the hood wrap around. It would look sweet if you had another piece coming over the sides and towards the side marker!!! Don't get me wrong it looks definently cool!!! Throw a spare on the hood!!! I don't know if I could see over a 40" Toyo on the hood LOL

It would be cool if you could figure a way to mount that guard where the stock guard does. It would keep you from having to fab up that mounting part and would hinge with the hood. I thin think that part would be doable and be less parts to make. I had the SMA guard and ended up with rattleing and rust where it hinges. That guard was beefy as hell though!!!!

...and you did a great job on yours btw. I like the added light bar as well.

Default 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.

If that's teh case, than the "new" guard need to be mounted through the hood with a rubber gromit with room to allow the impact. Otherwise if you attch it and bump an object, you will crack the hood. I believe that guard you are reffering to on teh H1 is all frame mouted. I have to pop the hood on an H1 this weekend and look at the D ring mounts sticking through the hood. I though that support under there went to teh frame...not sure though. There is a local, guy with 03 OT that I see very other day. I'll see if I can check it out.

I've been out of town and haven't been able to take pics of it, the whole thing flips forward giving room for the hood to open, it actually looks pretty cool, ha!

As soon as I get a chance this week I'll take some pics.

Also, For those of you who are interested, i've been trying to see how much it would cost me and how much time I would have to put towards making these again, it took me a long time on mine, but I didn't have a deadline to finish it either, I'm thinking it would take me two weeks max to make your guard, I do have a 8-5 job Mon-Fri job to report to.

PM for Pricing if you're interested, thanks!

Okay as promised I finally got a chance to wash the Hummer and have the camera changed all at the same time, took some pics of it opened.
I'm currently working on building my 2nd Tree Guard, thank you for your requests, I'll doing my best to build them as soon as possible.

Did you just add on to another companies front end guard? I noticed the welds on the raw pics (pre painted) aren't grind ed and the tubing is rusting, where the hood part the tubing hasn't rusted yet, and some of the tubing is already black??? Looks like an SMA modified?

Hey Bimmer what's up?
Yes, like I said in the first post I found my own heavy duty guard online and added my own version of "heavy duty".. it is a SMA design that was discontinued so there were unfinished guards up for grabs, I pretty much got the last of them.
As for the colors before being painted, I used different pipes testing it out to see which one was stronger than the other and which could bend smoother, so it took me a wile, the reason why the top outter pipe is black already is because its a thick gas pipe which is about the same thinkness SMA uses on their stuff, pretty strong stuff too.
Keep in mind that this was my first one and i'm making the rest after a lot of "lesson learned", built better, smoother and so on.
I haven't had time to work on them since I've been working on my roof rack, I'll post pictures soon.
Thanks
