Been catching up on some of the rust issues lately, just touching up things that are starting to look worn. My brush guard has been on the h3 for 4 yrs never been taken off and the top bar was really rusting out pretty badly and upon further inspection the bottom bar had many rust pit holes. Did some research on a new guard, found some cheaper ones on Ebay for about $240 or so with out the top bar. I really was looking hard at the Predator Search and Rescue guard but it is up there in cost. Weighing all options I took my guard down to a local muffler shop and the old boy there fixed it up for $50. He bent up and welded the top bar and the lower bar. The top bar he replaced with the same size tube than the rest of the guard. I think it looks aliittle more rugged than with the smaller tube. The bends are slightly off but not to bad. What do you think? Took it down to the powder coaters that are doing my stock rims and was qouted $150, but cant do them for 2 weeks because of a large order they have. So I think Ill paint them myself to see how it comes out. The first pic is of the original and the rest are of the new bars. Ill post back when I finish the paint job. At least the greenies will like the fact that they are recycled!
