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!

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.
