Small picture, haha. I dunno about first gens, but I know a few have done it on 2nd gens - Lifted95X for one. I was hoping someone had plans or something for brackets.
 






Bump. Little help?
 












Just take the brackets that came with the guard and extend them 3".

Yea but then the guard bumps with the frame and I would have to notch the support/mounting bars of the guard. I was hoping someone had a better way.
 






I have the same problem, my thought was to just weld on a new bracket and cut off the excess. I am going to attempt to do this over the next 2 weeks.
 






Sorry I did not realize yours may mount different than mine does. I just need to weld a 3" extension to my brackets and the guard will bolt right up.
