built me a brush guard today

well,i really wanted something like a sma grill guard,but not quite.i have this problem with being different.anyway,i will have to see what my wife thinks about it when she gets home,seems how it is her rig,if she dont like it,it guess it comes back off,it took about 4-5 hours to build,and it wasnt very easy.let me know what ya think

I think it is excellent! How much are you going to sell them for?

i dont think i am going to build another one,unless somebody wants to buy this one,i will make another,but right now,it would take me alot of time to mass produce,and im not sure my wife would like that idea

At first i thought you had some weird snorkel mounted on the front, but now i see it's your little tikes basketball goal.

I'm just happy mine hasnt smothered me in my sleep after seven years-------

I also thought it had the snorkel :P
 
Regarding the grill I am gonne be painfully honest, many people tell me sometimes I should not tell the truth, but its just the way I am :)  Desipite the fact that the grill looks solid and well built, I think its the ugliest grill I have ever seen :)  It doesnt look like it fits the H3 at all, and makes the car look horrible :P

Just out of curiosity, what do you have mounted on the front end of your rig, if anything?

just a grill guard,although,a snorkol would be cool

well,i guess seems how momma doesnt want it,i will put it on ebay,i will end the auction for you guys on this forum,but thats it

Nice job!!!  I was thinking of doing the same thing, the factory guards are wimpy!   All show and no go.  I have one on my CJ that didn't budge when a drunk drived knocked me into the car in front of me.  That's the kind of grille guard I want on my H3, one that will ACTUALLY protect my front and from more than shopping carts like you see on bling-mobiles.

When mine turned 40, I traded her for two 20"s
 
Oh yea, the brush guard looks awesome!!!!!!!!!

I agree, it looks good.  Nice job
 
 
 

I think you did a awesome job, you have way more skill than me.. If i could put any constructive critism in, I would say that maybe the top looks to be sitting to high above the hood, but maybe thats the way it had to go. Either way great job

my wife thought it looked to high as well,thats why it had to come off,but it is about 1/2 inch higher then the sma,but i guess that was enough

WELL,I PUT IT ON EBAY,I GUESS WE WILL SEE IF ANYONE ELSE LIKES IT

Thats to bad that you had to take it off. In my opinion it looks as good as any I've seen and better than most, Great work.

Nice grill, but a lil too much for my taste.  Does your wife like it?
