Reply:pic next to name = avatar.  you upload a pic and make it your avatar in your user panel.Im with the other poster....why or what is the reason for the guards?  Out here in Texas....our bumpers are sometimes called "cattle killers" cause their made to be 300 pound grill guards that can take the impact of a deer at 60 mph.  Those things your doing....they look like their for pushing vines or branches out of the way?JDLincoln IdealArc 250 AC/DC  w/ tigLincoln Ranger 8Miller Millermatic 140Victor Cutting setForney gas welding setMilwaukee power-tools3 legged dog named SpeedyFridge full of Diet Coke1 angry wife2 loud kids

Reply:I've seen those before, looks good. Nice tuck also.
Reply:I've seen similar on pulp wood trucks in east Texas. But once they manage to trap something between the guard and the truck body the damage is usually increased dramatically.Larry "I feel for the man who cannot spell a word more than one way."  by Mark TwainLincoln AC225-SLincoln Weldpac 100 Miller Matic 180 (auto set)Miller Spectrum 375 ExtremeMiller Spoolmate 100Victor Super Range II

Reply:Woodweld, thats the first I have ever seen racks like that, I know they "protect" the truck but what do they haul to need that much rack? PS: Welcome to the forumYou have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else. Albert Einstein

Reply:Looks like good workInteresting stuff thoughI spent a considerable part of my youth pulling pigs and containers off of the BN (now BNSF I guess) ramp in Denver.  Never saw such a thing.  Usually anybody on the ramp knew about the dangers present.The most dangerous things on the ramp were the packers.  Machines that take the containers off of the flatcars.  Those guys couldn't be expected to see everything going on around them, it was your responsibility to watch for them."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
