LOL well it is all a moot point now....the brush guard has sold

Wow....thanks for all the responses. From what I gather attempting to beef it up doesn't appear to be too worth it. I may grab it just for asthetics and to mount some lights on....just have to decide if I like the look or not.

I have searched around and didn't find anything.....so here goes. I am posting this in the general section as I figured it wasn't specific to the R50 but if required mods please move tks. I have an 01 SE that I am considering putting a brush guard on, my drive to work has a high deer strike pottential and it woudl be nice to minimise any damage to my front end. I have found a used one locally for a decent price that needs a little TLC (paint) Was thinking that while I was cleaning it up I would try and improve the overall strength of it as this seems to be the major knock against them. Here is what I was considering: 1) remove the ugly (at least i think they are ugly) bars over the light 2)on the outside of the bars that rap around the light/fender add a 1/2" strip of 1/4" steel to stiffen it 3)possibly add re-enforcement to an assembly behind the bumper similar to the one done by keelhaul to mount his winch 4)as an alternate to #3 maybe add stiffiners to the curved verticle portions. Is this completely a waste of time or a worthwhile endeavor? Thanks in advance Joel
