I got this brush guard and I need help finding a Brackets to put it on or I could make one. Just need some ideas. It has holes on it already but I feel like if I just bolt them on. An I pull some one out it would just Tear it off.

Just bolt it on and buy yourself a tow hook & bracket set.

Thats the brush guard that is made for the old s10s just put one like that on my brothers s10. Id say make some unibody tie in brackets and weld them to the brush guard. Just be sure to use 12ga or thicker steel.

If you go to your locale sheet metal shop you can get the good stuff for pretty cheap. Dunno what harbor ripoff might have.

Or you could buy the brackets but it would be cheaper to just make some up for the brush guard. or hell you could clean it up and sell it and just make a decent little bumper lol

I was going to make a custom bumper and back bumper. But this brush guard would be nice to have with them.
