Need help from the Texas guys
Need some help with a brush guard that I have seen on a couple of 3rd gens in the hill country. It's a full frontal tubular bull bar like from Tadas and Has but beefier. Looks like something on a Australian roadtrain. It appears to be chromed or stainless steel. I have search the internet and so far found zilch.
Wonder if it's been custom made by some local shop in the hill country area, like SA or Austin.
Thanks,
MikeyB

Here's a pic of the Tal & Hadas (I had the name wrong).

The ones I seen is beefier than the T & H and more flat. The tubular bars appeared to be at least 2" diameter.

Southwest Fabricators do bumper and grille guards in Junction. That's where mine came from. Don't know if they do chrome or bull noses now. It's been awhile since I've looked at what they had. I used to know the owner but he sold it and now just runs his cattle ranch.
