That was my first thought, but couldnt remember what movie it was.... good one!!!!

 

Hell yeah, I'm all about welding up some custom ****. It gives me a good excuse to really practice welding and I'll be able to make exactly what I want. I'm not a fan of the HUGE brushguards that come up halfway as high as the windshield and basically wrap around the fenders to the f'n doors. I like mainly the lower profile ones, kinda like where the bar just comes up and across and covers only the open grille area. I can't wait till my truck sells so I can get started building this thing lol...

 

haha, that's sweet. I had a brush guard on my first truck and I loved it, not quite that big but still. I'm still convinced it saved my life.

so what are you thinking so far?

 

Its a real tree pusher, thats how we tested it out

He got stuck at one of the mudbogs and the guy came out there with the dozer. Instead of getting out and covered with mud he told the guy to just put the blade against the bumper and push. It scratched the paint, cant say that about the other guy they pulled out. Hooked the chain to his pretty new ranch hand brush guard and pulled it off the frame

 

oh snap!!!! hahaha that sucks. I've seen some bad stuff happen out in the mud. I love seeing that custom welded stuff in Four Wheeler mag. I hit a deer with mine doing 80. I think it might have come through the windshield. It was cold out and i didn't want to wait for a tow from northern Wisconsin to southern Illinois, made it all the way home.

 

I'm not sure as of yet. I have a lot of ideas I've been playing with the past 6 months or so. I'm going to start off writing down the most important ones, and figure a way to incorporate them all into one solid platform. Once I really figure out how I can do it, then I start looking for a truck. Once I find the truck (and hopefully mine sells for the funding of this project) then I can start making everything and making it look cool. For now, this is kind of a brainstorming thread to me.

 

Pre-1955 *****'s

 

Those are sweet!!!!!

 

I have seen a lot of people build those.
