I bought my Hunter Euro Style Brush Guard from popularlink.com- it’s a store based off eBay that sells out of there shop in Texas. The transaction was smooth and I had no problems with them. I would buy from there store again if anyone is wondering about buying something from them. It cost me $279.00 to my door. My brush guard has rubber strips on the outside main frame for protection.
Parts:
• One-Front Bar
• Two- ½ X 4 Hex Bolts
• Eighteen- ½ Washers
• One- Mounting Bracket (Driver)
• Six- ½ X 1-1/2 Hex Bolts
• One- Mounting Bracket (Passenger)
• Eight- ½ Nylock Nuts
• 2 Wings
Note: The mounting brackets, bolt to the outside of the frame using existing holes in the frame.
Instructions:
1.Remove the bottom outside bumper mounting nut and bolt the mounting bracket tabs through the exposed thread. Attach the tab with the existing nut and washer.(red)
2.The other mounting holes through the frame should then be exposed. It should line up with the other hole in the bracket. Use the ½ X 4 Bolts on this hole.(blue)
3.The mounting bracket should then be touching the lower plastic spoiler and these brackets will now becomes your marker for cutting a slot in the spoiler. It’s not necessary to remove the spoiler to make the cut.
4.The front bar mounts to the inside of the brackets so that the outer edge of the slots should be the inside edges of the mounting brackets.
5.Check the alignment of the bar before proceeding.
6.Insert the front bar legs between the bumper and grille and attach to the mounting brackets with the ½ X 1-1/2 Bolts. Leave them loose.
7.Once the main frame of the brush guard is aligned and all bolts are in place, now tighten up all bolts and then you’re ready to bolt on the wings.
8.Bolt the wings by bolting 3 screws into place on each side.
Now take a step back and see how it looks.
