Montana Derek Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I know it comes down to personal preference, but I was looking for some feedback on which type of brushguard I should get. I am looking for something that will allow me to mount some lights because driving in Montana once it starts getting dark is very dangerous with all the wildlife roaming around. I also like to go on dirt roads that lead up to the mountains so the extra light output will be nice. However, I want my soob to look good so thus my question to all of you on which brushguard will better suit my needs. The first option is the classic A style pushbar (long style). I am considering purchasing one from SuperBrat he is willing to ship to me here in Montana. The other option is the front end protector with winch mount which I believe was offered in 1983. There is one on a subaru wagon at the local yard that I can snag. This is what it looks like: This is the vehicle the brushguard would be going on...a 1982 Brat DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idasho Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Personally, I dont like the large front end protectors. Ive always liked bull-bars on most rigs. So long as they LOOK somewhat OEM. Check out my thread here for a very simple bull-bar style bumper. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=125390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyfun Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Is the one you're talking about down at A1 Johnson's? I think I remember it on a little EA81. How much do they want for it? I thought about trying to get it to fit on my EA82, but ended up making something stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I really dont think we could mount anything stout enough on the front to do much good. I think the weight would be a bit too much. We dont hardly even drive at night in this part of the state, just for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana Derek Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Is the one you're talking about down at A1 Johnson's? I think I remember it on a little EA81. How much do they want for it? I thought about trying to get it to fit on my EA82, but ended up making something stronger. The guy said he would take $45 for it. I decided to pass on it because it was dented up and I ended up buying the A style pushbar. Yeah, I agree...anything we are able to mount on these bumpers will not do much if you hit a deer or antelope at full speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
