Default What Brush gaurd is this?

Hey guys, I decided to keep my waggy front clip..and I'm going for a military theme & need a brush guard to protect my front clip. Its tough to find a brush guard that works with the waggy clip, and well this brush guard does & looks like the old military brush guards!

I know its aftermarket cause theres a yota locally with the same dang brush guard! Maybe someone can draw up a brush guard for me if I can't find the one below to give me some ideas. Yes I'm keeping the stock bumper with a hidden winch so its got to work with that!

Yes but this is/will be my winch setup..harboring a Harbor Freight 12k winch! Boxed front rails will be amazing for strength & pulling! I'm doing 1/2" D-rings vs 1/4"..also making the winch plate as long as possible to act as a splash shield to keep crap outta the engine bay!
Also boxing the rails acts as a inner & outer steering brace..It will be 7 bolts per side, plus the 2 tow hook bolts..tow hooks remaining in place..reaching all the way to the huge anchor bolts for the tow hooks!

So its litterally a stock bumper..doesn't stick out much more! I just need a durable brush guard to protect against heavy brush/branches..I don't plan to kill any cow or deer with it. Just want to protect my waggy clip, while looking military lol.

Dont run a Harbor Freight winch. It will let you down and it doesn't have nearly as much power as advertised. That is one place you don't want to cheap out on your jeep.
