Got a new Brushguard from Rubberduck4x4
 

Not sure how much most of you non Hummer guys care about this but I thought I would share it with you.This brush guard is FRAME MOUNTED and pins to the hood for added stability. Right now it's the only brushguard on the market for the H2 that bolts to the frame and allows you to use a stock bumper or winch bumper. So its kind big news in the Hummer world.

Thats so CUTE!:D









Just glad to see you wheel it and atleast it stands out to all the other H2's out there.

I like it...whats it cost
560 bucks? guessing

I'd guess higher...

So that's all that keeps it off the hood? Two 1/4" pins?

:confused:

Robert

760 ?

Travis is the man.... Looks good.

Wish he would do a XJ model.:D

Nick

Their website has it listed for double that plus 130:eek:

It does look good but it had better shovel my driveway for that price. Of course replacing the hood would probably be over 4000?

Over $1600??!!! Focking ****!! i'm apparently building the wrong **** for the wrong group of people.

If you bump a tree, will it crush the hood?
Don't look like much stopping it at the pivot.

Looks good!!!

Well
I would build and install it for 760

The pins holding it off the hood are 1/2", the same design is used on the H1 and it has never had problems. Also there is way more work involved in this brushguard than it appears in the picture.

Travis is the Hummer Man... :)

There ya go... :beers:

Robert

You are not kidding!

Not too crazy about it but that is the best looking H2 I have ever seen

Hey guys thanks for all the feedback. I will address a couple things for you.

Price--In the Hummer world $1650 is a pretty fair price for what this brush guard has to offer. There is only one other BG on the market that is mounted to the frame and its made by Road Armor. It retails for over $4K. However it does include a winch bumper. The bad news is the whole road armor set up weighs over 300#s.

Real Wheels makes a nice wrap around brush guard but its only mounted to the hood hinges and handles. Its also made of 1/8 stainless tubing. However if you put it up to anything over 2 inches it will crush like a coke can. And its costs $2050

Strength-- What you don't see is the mounting system. The mount sits behind the plastic valance and is bolted to the frame and radiator core support. It really acts as another cross member. All of the structural support is provided from this mounting system. The hood pins are just for added stability. Although the hood is fiberglass it also has a substantial amount of steel in the area that it attached to the handles.

So why are Hummer parts triple the price of comparable Jeep parts?

Simply because they can be?

:confused:

Robert

I'm sure part of it is supply and demand. Everybody and their brother buys bolt-ons for a Jeep so you can mass produce parts and keep them cheap. On the other hand they probably only sell a handful of brushguards for an H2.

The other part of it is the market........you won't see any "budget builds" starting with a Hummer and you won't see anybody paying over $1,600 for a brushguard to put on the Wrangler they just bought for $4,000. If you can afford to start with a $50,000 vehicle, you can afford a $1,600 grill guard.

That's what I thought, because they can be...

Robert

ive never paid 50,000 for a hummer :D oh wrong site

Need some pics of his H1 stuff....

Not all at once, but if you add it up over the years...
