hornet28 that is really nice - I like the look. I'll run it by the wife. How much for something like that?
Thanks for the compliment. Sorry I would need the truck here as I built it mostly on the truck without a jig. Without the truck or jig to hold in place fitment couldn't be guaranteed. My kid brother was hauling RVs across the country and wanted one that would stand up to just about anything and I built this one for him

Got a 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged 8 Cyl 5.0L to pull our toy hauler. I want to put a Front Brush Guard Bumper Grille Guard of some sort on the front. I do not believe they make them. Does anyone know of a fabricator whom can make one? I am in Calif. Thanks
PS some places say they have it on google searches but when you get into a specific grille guard it says no not available - hence I think I need a custom person to make it.
Contact ArcRite of Del Rio, Tx. They build, one piece ( not modular), heavy duty, tubular guards, with several options available. Call and ask if they do or can build one for your application. We have one of theirs on our Toyota 4 Runner, and one one our 2007 Bigfoot Class C. They are of identical design, only fabricated for the specific vehicle.
How large do you want? All the way across the front or just the center? Integral with the bumper or an add on? If just an add on most are quite flimsy. I had an add on it looked great and was stainless steel so no rusting. However I couldn't stand the way it vibrated plus it would've crumpled if I'd hit a deer. I built this one after taking the add on off. It's 2x2x1/8 sq tubing. The way I built it is the tubing bolts on in place of the factory tow hooks, comes out bent at a 90 degree angle upright goes up and across where the 2 sides meet. Where it's bent at the bottom it's braced top and inside with 2x2 tubing gussets. The hitch receiver is also well gussetted. I then had it powder coated. I also have a pair of high watt lights that mount on the crossbar. I forgot to add, the triangle plate you see on the bottom was put in after I added the second bottom bar and receiver as I also have a 12K winch set-up that can be slid into the receiver. I'm confident it'll hold as I got to far off on the shoulder with a 7K? trailer in tow and both truck and trailer had axles sitting on the ground and a snatch strap around the guard was used to pull it out. That happened before adding the receiver and plate
