2012 Brush Guard

[HemiBabe]

So the father in law just got a 2012 and he's needing a brush guard since his truck will be a pilot car for heavy loads. Anyone know where he can get one?

Nevermind...now I see that only fits 2500 and 3500 trucks

Might be over kill... but Iron Bull bumpers have some badass bumper/brush guard combo's, as well as some of the forum sponsors on here.

Yeah hahah he's just needing a weed whacker lol

 

[Trupiano]

Haha yeah I figured.

Does he want chrome or black?

 

[HemiBabe]

Uhh I don't think it matters, He has to have one of those poles sticking up in the front... wonder if a bull bar would work even tho they look silly....? All the brush guards I'm finding are for 2500/3500s as well....

why not just mount a hitch up there, and put the pole on the hitch? that way when he's not the lead dude, he doesn't look dorky with a brush guard.

Sweet! So would that work since he has the sport bumper and no hole for the tow hooks?

I can't tell by the pics on this phone, but it kinda looks like it installs under the bumper.

Your in luck!

Fully welded one-piece design
Custom punched grill insert
Uprights extend top to bottom
Wrap around loop design for added protection
Bolts to existing holes...no drilling required
Frame mounted for a secure fit
Black powder coat finish
Tow hooks can be retained
Fits 1500 model only (excluding Sport Series)
Weighs 118 lbs

It bolts to the frame, and doesn't touch any tow hook holes. So you don't need to drill into the bumper or anything, but it also says (excluding sport series). I think a phone call is in order. Maybe the sport bumper sticks out too much, but hopefully the grille guard can be moved out a bit to fit.
