I recently purchased a used factory brush guard. I am having a great amount of difficulty installing this stupid thing. Does anyone have pictures instructions etc. about installtion of the bumper gaurd. At this point I am less than impressed with the qaulity of the product and should probably have went with an aftermarket piece. Any help would be highly apreciated. :help: :E:

Sorry, I don't have any tips on installation.  Are you not happy with it because of the quality/construction or because of the fact that installation is a PITA?  Just wondering since I'm researching brush guards now.

I purchased the brush guard because of the looks and still like the looks. I did not realize that the support structure underneath the cladding was so thinly made. I should have done some more investigating before the purchase. Installation was a PITA, and I did not like cutting the cladding on the front bumper.

I found the installtion instructions on the board, and thanks for the replies.

For looks, I really like the guard, for protection factor I do not like it.
 
Gm brush guard is not for protection against heavy objects but will work against brush....

Does anyone have a copy of all 6 pages of the installation instuructions that are readable? I can only see the two pages in these PDF's.  If not I may be able to get them from a dealer.
 
those are the only 2 pages....

the other 4 are in different languages...

what can you not read?

Thanks ygmn,

I printed out the pages and they are readable, On my computer screen they looked like they had missing text.  I'm good to go now.  Now it's fab time.

I'm thinking about a WAAG frontrunner, but I'm looking just to protect against things like parking lot impacts, etc. and for a place to hang some extra lighting.

LOL, That's funny my wife has a black suburban. I think it would look sweet with a pushbar grill guard. The only problem is I know she WOULD use it.
