I helped a buddy clean up one of his properties and he was nice enough to give me a grille guard off his old Dodge and bull horns. I just felt they looked the part on this vehicle. Let's be honest nothing about a Bronco says political correctness, conformity, green initiatives, or subtle. And nothing about 33s, a winch, bull horns, or a grill guard says those things either. Perfect match.
What wasn't a perfect match was mounting the damn grille guard! There were no brackets and no good point to really make one to bolt it on. If you'll recall from the winch install I used a steel plate bolted to the frame with a winch plate on top of it. That was probably overkill but honestly I'd rather have too much than not enough if I have to winch out of a situation.
So ultimately I welded the guard onto the bottom of the winch plate. Granted the welds might break if I really rammed into something hard enough but then again probably bigger problems if that occurs.
