The one on the blue truck has a special oval looking tab that fits the contour of the bumper.I never saw one like it with the sides so high (I planned to cut them down and round off) and the 2 1/2" cross tubes.I made one for a truck once using 3/8" plate and 2 1/2" tube.I put a tube at the bottonm,too,because when you mount hooks on there and use them it pulls the sides in.The one on my old Blazer had 1/4" flat stock for mounting tabs.

That Texas grille guard looks great on that Blazer.I'd like to get my hands on one of those GM accessory grille guards,too (last picture).

**special-K** · 11-06-2010, 08:18 AM

They are GM accessories.Who knows who made them,but you bought them from a GM dealer.

lol!!

**special-K** · 11-20-2010, 07:15 PM

I can take the one on the blue truck off and trace a pattern if you want.I made one for a truck with a 4" pipe bumper once.Made the bumper,too.The brush guard was made with 3/8" instead of 1/4" that the store bought ones were.And,the pipe was 2 1/2" instead of 2" and I put a third pipe at the bottom because Jeep hooks were always mounted on these things.They had a tendency to pull the side plate in when pulling from an angle.Let me know if you want a pattern.

Man i really appreciate that offer but i don't want you to go thru all that unless your going to send it to me LOL! Seriously just a side shot of the thing will do fine, and maybe even a side shot of the one on the green blazer as well? thats all i need, i just want to see the shapes and angles, i know the one i make will probably end up a bit different.
