Reply:Any guard the height of the hood will not stop a moose. They go over the top right through the windshield anyway. This is a brush guard, not a moose stopper. Nice work by the way.ChrisAuction Addict

Reply:Originally Posted by AKweldshopI welded it both sides, I really don't think I'll use it much.In hindsight I should've ran some more of that 3/8"x 3" flat bar from the frame mounts, to the receiver tube, just like I did on the outside.

Reply:I like the way you matched the lines of the grill, headlights and hood line. It all blends in good. In my eye it looks better than a lot of the 'big on bling' bumpers."The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life." -Theodore Roosevelt

Reply:Looks good from here. I would worry more about damaging the frame in the event of an impact than the bumper itself.On a side note, and not directed to your proyect only AK, I always wondered what is the purpose of having a solid unbreakable bumper that will not deform at all in case of an accident... I always thought that a bumper is meant for protecting ALSO the passengers inside the vehicle. The stronger the bumper, the more energy needs to be dissipated somewhere else... such as the frame of the vehicle and the bodies of the ocupants! I can understand solid bumpers in rock crawlers and such. They are meant more as body armor while scrambling through rocks than impact protection for the ocupants but... on a road vehicle... not sure.
Reply:Crush zones are important enough to be accepted as science. The bumper shows skill and ingenuity but if there is an impact with a corner at even slow speed there will be a bent frame.I know from personal experience.
