2001 ford sport trac
Alright I was just wondering..... Brush guard or tow hooks? Right now i have the tow hooks on and im loving it but i will admit the brush guard did save my sport trac a few times. But I also was told that the brush guard didnt count as a recovery because it would just bend.

Just send the tow hooks down to me in Miami. But yeah, that brush guard would probably bend it you pulled on it.

lol ya im trying to figure out what I can do with the brush guard
 












Make some eyelet extensions where the brushguard will bolt on from.
any competant metal worker should be able to do that for you if you give them a few ideas.

as far as pulling, if you strap at the mounting points on the brush guard, it shouldn't bend. (the original place the tow hooks were mounted)
 












im not going to get anything for it open to offers
 






What brand brush guard is it?
 






Brush or the other style bar i seen it on ebay will be good, last week i had a small car accident my ST was not hurt @ all no dint!! but the other car got a mini bend on the back door, now if i had a brush or style front bar it could end in worst for the other part and my ST just like nothing happens..., anyway an in the same ?? as you. dont know what to install..

I was Thinking about this:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ford-EXPLORER-SPORT-TRAC-01-02-hook-truck-auto-part-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3a59f102c2QQitemZ250617070274QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Or the one showing in here, dont know were to look for:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-03-04-05-06-Ford-Explorer-Sport-Trac-Billet-Grille-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem45f2372fbfQQitemZ300416446399QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_2066wt_958
