Default Brushguards, Bumpers and Hitches?

I pick up my new 550 tomorow and would like to see picks of what you have added to the front and rear of your machines to protect them, attach things to and just look cool. Although I work in the insurance industry I am a welder by trade and have access to all things steel. I am thinking I will fabricate some cool protection that I can mount extended racks onto for lashing treestands too and just plain looking good.

So show me what you've got. Pictures of the steel attached to the front and rear of your machine.

Thanks - Bob

It was a beer day, just stand to the side and ride safe while doing it. Here is part 2 of it.

if only i had access to a welder, my rack on my quad would look much much better, but for nuts and bolts i'd say it works out good
i don't have those dinky lights on it anymore, i've got 4 rectangular lights on it, 2 amber, 2 clear(ambers on the outside) and a 3k lb winch installed within the front bumper as well(that i've used more than enough and haven't bent or broken anything yet *crosses fingers*

also put a toolbox and a reverse light on the thing

Bush guards are nice, you can crash a new trail throw brush and when you come out of it you still have working head lights.

yup, already made a few of my own, that bumper works out nice for keeping things from hitting me or getting tangled in the quad

I will certainly be fabricating up something for crashing through the brush. I am not a real go fast or dep mud guy but I do use it to blaze new trails for hunting and it is good to have some protection. Here it it:

Probably not a big deal to those that have one but it sure is nice to know this one is mine.
