It looks to me like if the lower mounting tabs on the brush guard were placed a little higher on the outside of the fang and angled down to where the plow mount bolts on you could put the brush guard over the plow mount (as long as the tabs are spaced about 1/4" wider than they are now) and IF there is enough clearance between the plow mount and the brush guards fang!
Otherwise you would have to cut off part the bottom of the fang to make it fit.

Is that about as clear as mud? LOL!

And also that way if no plow mount was involved, all you would need is a couple of spacers to add to the bottom tabs to take up the extra width of the tabs.
This way the same brush guard design would work for any machine, plow mount or not!
There muddied it up some more! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Well I got to looking at it again and it also looks like you may not be able to have the lower cross bar on the brush guard at all, unless you could tie the fangs together underneath. This is looking very bad!!

Yeah it looks that was,but it is hard to tell really from the pics.. Those front bolts angle down,so you might be able to get to them behind the bar,if nothing else was a problem..
Someone just needs to try it..
Anyone asked John if there is a machine with the a plow mount installed nearby? I know mag150 has one coming but having John see it in person might be better?

 

I think we'll have to wait for mag150 to see if it works.

I don't think I'll be installing mine today.My back still hurts and it's 11 degrees below zero with -37 wind chill...............

 

Here is a pic of my front piece before coating that John just sent me...pure art!
ATV-GURU is the man!

 

Looks Good HO!
I was thinking of getting the expanded metal in the center section like yours,but I went with his prototype instead.Either way these Brush Guards Rock.How soon before yours are coated and delivered?
I'm going to try to install mine in the morning.My back is still hurting.I'll post something hopefully by Monday night.

Yeah,he does real nice work! Not sure when he'll get them out. I told him I am in no hurry and to enjoy the holidays with his family.
Take care of that back..don't push it. Back pain is NO fun and needs plenty of rest.
Good luck with it.

 

Thanks...
I've been taking it easy for two days already.
It's just killing me looking at them laying on the living room floor!

 

Update:I didn't get them installed today.I did have a friend help get the stock tires/rims off and into the back of my truck.I'm getting the Bighorns mounted in the morning.I should get them on and then mount the brush guards tomarrow.My back still alittle sore so I need to count on others....Thank God for good friends!

 

Hey triplggg,

Send us up some pics of those Bighorns too! We can get a double point benefit. Still evaluating all my
choices for next years tire upgrade!

Cheers,

R'

 

That was my plan,I'll keep you guys posted!
